Rewatched this after a long time - what a beautiful movie !!! All I want to do now is hug my parents.

#TheNamesake #Irrfan

One of my most favorite films is The Namesake starring Kal Penn, Tabu and the late great Irrfan Khan. Directed by Mira Nair. Beautiful film. I first saw it about a decade ago as a teen. #TheNamesake #underratedfilm #JhumpaLahiri

Revisiting another movie I loved as a teen.. and I see why. 🕉
Maybe I should read the ginormous Hindi Epic the Mahabharata again.
Or cheat and go with Bhagvata Gita. Both amazing.

Book 21/? - The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri

I was given this by my brother in law - a lovely gift 💝

The characters felt real, their ordinary lives both beautifully & agonisingly mundane (belying the detached third person narrative)

I feel a bit heart sore having finished it!

Day 5/20: #thenamesake

Can a name shape who you become?
The Namesake is a quiet, piercing novel about identity, belonging, and the space between cultures. Gogol’s struggle with his name becomes a deeper search for self.

Just finished this.

I think I have an obsession with books about the immigrant experience!

I just discovered that @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social’s mother is filmmaker Mira Nair. Watch #TheNamesake. It’s a wonderful film.

And that doesn’t even include indie films about #southasianamericans like #thenamesake, #thebigsick, and other diaspora films like #bhajionthebeach and #benditlikebeckham...
