-Yes.

Hi Dhruv.

-Hi

This is for you.

-Oh thank you.

Come inside.

Hi.

You were leaving without saying bye?

B*tch!

Rook to H5.

Hey!

Sorry.

It's okay you can watch.

Just keep your trap shut!

Yeah.

Put it on manual...

it's stuck!

I'm going to tell you right up...

I don't do bottoms!

Excuse me?

I've had some Indian kids before...

You've got to wipe your own ass honey...

I'll just pour the water!

I was just wondering,

if you have any experience with...

...someone with cerebral palsy?

I hope you understand, it is just

the motor skills that are affected...

...and not the intelligence...

I'm quite aware of what

cerebral palsy is actually.

You don't have to worry at all...

Mrs. Kapoor?

Kapoor pronounced cup not cap.

Cup.

Take this.

Be home by 4.

Or I'll call the cops!

Don't worry Aai.

Bye.

Bye.

Hey. How're you doing?

Hi.

Come on back.

I have a place all

set up for you on the left.

Where you headed?

Union Square.

Say that again please.

Union Square!

Okay, okay Union Square.

You got it.

Write from your heart...

Write from your eyes...

Write from your liver!

Okay. So what we're going to do

is have an assignment...

...in which you're going to write

from all your senses. Okay?

I'm gonna give you the parameters...

You're going to write a story...

a poem...

...rap Song--

Okay so write these down.

It is...

...New Year's Eve.

You're on a boat.

You hear the sound of a cello.

You taste an orange.

Someone is wearing blue.

And you tell a loved one...

...a very personal secret.

No hiding!

All right you have ten minutes. Go!

Hello Laila.

- Hi.

So welcome to the

Creative Writing program.

I'm so glad you could be here with us.

Thank you, Professor.

It's Jose. it's just Jose.

Okay Jose.

Listen. Would you like me

to assign a writer to you?

In fact I've already talked

to somebody.

Actually I can type...

I am sorry what did you say?

That would be wonderful!

Yeah.

You know...

I have an aunt in Birmingham.

I wish I had an aunt in India!

You know I really want to go there.

My dream place is Varanasi.

How come?

My step dad's guru is from there.

He came to visit us one time.

He emanated such peace.

It's anything but peaceful!

Really?

You could stay with us

if you come to India.

Are you serious?

That would be absolutely amazing.

Listen...Laila, I should probably go.

Yeah. You have to...

I have to go too.

But I'll see you soon okay?

Bye.

Bye Laila.

We'll go home now and cut your nails.

They've grown too long.

I'm going now to check out the clubs.

Clubs?

-Student clubs.

You've missed a whole semester.

Let's go home now and study.

Mom. I know when I need to study!
