Blind Dating

Synopsis: U.S.-based Leeza works in Dr. Perkins Medical Research Facility. Her mother, originally from India, was single when she arrived in America, and fell in with a Caucasian male as he looked like a movie star. Her dreams were shattered when he married a prettier Caucasian, leaving her to marry an East Indian. Leeza, now engaged to a boy of her father's choice, namely U.S.-based Arvind, meets with Danny, a Caucasian who is blind since his premature birth. He has enrolled himself at Dr. Perkins facility to try out a new procedure that will result in surgery to a part of his brain to restore his visual cortex, enabling him see in fuzzy black and white images. She is attracted to him, but is aware of her commitment to marry Arvind and feels it would be against the Hindu culture (where love is measured with loyalty, trust, respect, and commitment) to break off her engagement - especially when it seems that Danny may be able to see, reject her, and get involved with a much more attractive female

As we grew up, Larry's life-lessons

In front of Danny!

What's the problem, he can't see nothin.

God can see!

Nedless to say that by the time

I was a young man, I needed help.

Try to be more specific Danny.

Why do you think, you feel this way?

I guess i'm just curious? You know..

I run my fingers over my face, but...

But that tells me sh*t about how I look.

And that matters to you, does it?

Sure yeah, of course it does.

Even Maria has got these friends,

and they come by. She's 14years old.

You know, these girls freak me out.

I wanna know that girls are attracted to me.

.. and don't feel just sorry for me,

or give me pitty...

I feel like I'm 12year old,

trapped in a 22year old body, you know?

It's perfect.

I am 22 year old blind virgin,

who doesn't know anything about girls.

At least I want to know that I

don't look like some kinda monster.

Believe me, Danny.

You don't look like a monster.

Doc, you naked again?

- Sorry, Danny.

- Oh Doc!

You promised, you weren't

gonna do that anymore!

It's Just that.. something... a

little problem. I'm working on it.

Doc, you are the smartest people, I know.

But I think..

...you might be crazier than most your patients.

You know that?

Sometimes I just feel this need to break out.

To be free, to be who I really am.

I am sorry Danny, it will never

happen again. I promise.

- You said that last time.

- I know, I know.

And I'll probably say it again.

You're a cook, you know?

But I love you.

So,

where were we?

Ok, so apart from the fact that I got

this problem with women,

I'm handling things pretty well.

- Hi girls.

So cute.
