OM BOKEN:

Gogol Ganguli is headed to paradise (USA), a place of satisfaction and fulfilment. He doesn't really know it, as he travels through his life toward this destination.

He is only aware that he is not quite at ease with himself, and for a long time he thinks it's all because of his name…

His journey begins by train......

Brought up as an Indian in suburban America, Gogol finds himself itching to cast off the inherited values and priorities that his parents drape over him.

He escapes into Education and is educated above all in new ways of living, new ways of making a family, new ways of being married.

He is shown a perfect home, then – to his delight and surprise – invited in to it, for good.

But still he wears that Russian's name, still he is an Indian in America, and, once you get to the furthest point there, there's nowhere else to go but back.
