Frame it in your own words ? Gogol name is chosen by Mr. and Mrs. Ganguli's son. And so Gogol's education begins. At the top of sheets of scratchy, pale yellow paper, he writes out his pet name again and again, as well as the alphabet in capitals and lowercase. He learns to add and subtract and to spell his first words. On the front covers of his textbooks, he writes his name in pencil. In art class, his favorite hour of the week, he carves his name with paper clips into the bottoms of clay cups and bowls. He pastes uncooked pasta on to cardboard and leaves his signature in fat brush strokes below paintings. When mrs. lapidus call's out Gogol with the name nikhil he doesn't respond which tells that gogol doesn't likes to be called out by some other name and neither respond to it.
