1. Bet: si lo que quieres es saber porque escogí Gogol es porque yo sobreviví a  un descarrilamiento de tren con muchas víctimas mortales. Había estado leyendo una colección de cuentos de Gogol justo antes del accidente, tomé una sola página de la historia "El capote" en la mano. Con muchos huesos rotos y sin fuerzas para moverme o gritar, deje caer la página arrugada, era lo único que puede hacer para llamar la atención de los médicos en busca de sobrevivientes.

1. Ch: que?.. Estuviste a punto de morir.. Perdón padre. Perdón padre por haber sentido vergüenza de mi nombre, de la cultura bengalí, perdón por haber tenido la idea de cambiar mi nombre, perdón.

He had been reading a collection of stories by Gogol just before the accident, I took one page of the story "The Overcoat" in hand. With many broken bones and weak to move or scream, drop the crumpled page was all you can do to get the attention of physicians in search of survivors.
