Another question about the movie The Namesake?!
Question: What was the significance behind Gogol shaving his head? I know there was a connection with the scenes of him as a child watching his father shave his head, and the sences of him as an adult in the barber shop. But why exactly did they shave? I question this because when he goes to the airport his mother says he didn't have to do it.

In some Indian cultures, sons will shave their head when the father dies.
