Gogol starts school late because his mother is too sick to drive him to school on the first day. When he gets to kindergarten on the first day, his parents tell the principal, Mrs. Lapidus, that she should call Gogol by his formal name, "Nikhil." However, she overhears them referring to him as "Gogol" and asks him what he would like to be called. When he answers "Gogol," it sticks. Ashima gives birth to Gogol's little sister, Sonia, in May. By now, the Gangulis have made many Bengali friends in the other suburbs of Boston, and on Saturdays, they drive to one of their homes for parties. While the parents eat and speak in Bengali, the children gather in a bedroom and watch a movie. When Sonia is seven months old, she has her rice ceremony and refuses all the food offered to her.
