Question

What was Nikhil’s reaction after this? How did the principal pronounce his name?

Answer 1

At the time of his name-change, Gogol does not understand the story of his name, nor its relation to his father's life. He sees it only as an embarrassment. It is a tie, he thinks, not even to Indian culture, but to that of Russia, where his father has never even lived. “Gogol” makes Gogol feel like a child.:

Answer 2

Answer :-

Gogol spends time at the party, taking pictures of Ashima, Sonia, and Ben, setting up the fake tree in the living room for the last time. ... He realizes it is his opportunity, finally, to connect more fully with his father's life, and to learn more deeply what the name “Gogol” meant to Ashoke. The novel ends.
