I have been reading this nice book by Jhumpa Lahiri “Interpreter of Maladies” who is also the author of “The Namesake”. The movie based on this book is going to come out in theaters later this year. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0433416/trailers-screenplay-E27934-10-2)
I look forward to seeing it, as I like Kal Penn a lot. He is a young comedian actor but evidently has more potential than that. It’s also funny how in this movie he is embarrassed by his name “Gogol” which is a name for one of the most popular writers in Russia. Funny.
