So Ayesha right now-
Asha Sorry?
Name is Asha not Ayesha
Hi, I am Rakay
I'm Sami
You have to live like a guest in this house
Absolutely no rentals!
I saw your ad
Daddi... you?
This house has been given by his uncle to live
free of charge
and he is renting rooms to make money
If you have a problem with that then...
There is the door
You guys decide by morning
I like the place.
Being 'Desi'
now a days this word is very popular
but it depends where its spoken
in Pakistan or India it means something else
and in UK, USA or Canada
it means something completely different
when our people are in their home countries
they like imported items
but here, they like items imported from their home countries
that is why desi shops do such good business
but there are few people
have been here for over 15 to 20 years
and they miss their home countries a lot
but at the same time try to avoid newcomers from their home countries
well that’s just an observation
only few of them....not many
I should have made copies of the eviction notice
I might need them with such roommates
first condition of the rental contract
no noise before 10 am
I don't like getting up this early
I am meeting a friend
looking for a her gift
I kept it some where here
Got it!!
Now, what's the story behind this
this is Kiran's
Kiran.. my childhood buddy
she was my neighbor
12 years ago, she moved here with her family
and before coming here she stayed with us for 2 weeks
everyday she used to write something in this diary
and after 12 years
you will return this to her
and she will fall in love ?
Exactly!!
look....what she drew on the last page
every year so many Romeos come from Pakistan
they are exported more than cotton
that's why economy is in such shambles
shall I tell him that after 12 years
Kiran must be in mini skirt
shall I tell him or not ?
I think it’s best if he hears it from Kiran
ok, I gotta go
listen Rakey
yes ?
Go get her
thanks
Oh I am sorry!!! I didn't see you
no it's alright.... I wasn't looking
don't you use shopping carts?
actually I didn't have a quarter for the cart this time
I hope my eggs didn't break
ok...all fine
I see you like chocolate ice cream
that's my favorite flavor as well
don't worry, I'll grab my things
and will be out of your hair
this is definitely not mine
or is it ?
here is your juice, your milk
and next time don't forget to bring a quarter
if only I get a penny every time I heard that one
may be I'll still have a shopping cart
ok, keep following me
you will love it when the police starts following you
ok, so you won't stop stalking me ?
fine, lets see what cops do to the stalkers then
By the way I am not joking
I'll put this on speaker phone
911 state your emergency please
yes..I'd like to report a stalker
he's been stalking me for the past half an hour
right to my home
please remain calm can you still see him now?
yes he is still here
ok, can you provide your location?
hello ma'am, can you specify your location
ma'am can you hear me ?
nice to meet you
neighbour
ma'am.. are you there ?
hello ?
hello ma'am ?
ma'am?
If a boy stalks a girl
follows her
looks at her from a distance
then that's a crime
and if caught, may end up in jail for few days
but if a girl
specially if she's beautiful
follows an ordinary looking boy
stalks him
then if nothing else
the boy's stocks will rise
in front of his friends
boys will be boys!!
and boys remind me
Rakay!!
this is it
time has come
I'll finally meet Kiran after 12 years
how should I greet her?
hey Kiran..long time no see
what's up?
no...that'll be too casual
Kiran!! my eyes have missed your face
right.. 1980s bollywood film line
that won't work
come on think Rakey..think!!
there she is
she is even more beautiful in real than her facebook picture
ok.. rehearse the plan again
go in there..hello..hi
how are uncle and aunty?
remind her of their stay at our home
her missing diary
out comes the diary
12 year old flashback
tears in her eyes
BAM!! Knight in shining armour
and we live happily ever after
Rakay.. you should have been a bed time story writer
Oh shoot!!!!
I hope she didn't seem me
Even if she saw me.. but hopefully didn't recognize me
ok.. it's not that bad
situation is still under control
just follow the plan
..relax...breathe in..
..breathe out..
breathe in..breathe out
Hi!!!
huh!!! what's this ?
where did her friends come from?
I thought we'll meet alone
plan cancel...plan cancel!!!
goto plan B.. shoot!!!
didn't make a plan B....
what do I do?
I think I should leave
will tell her that there was an emergency
Hey Rakay!!! right here
oh shoot!!!
hi....
hi....
Girls.. this is Rakay
my neighbour from 12 years ago
Hi.. Hi Rakay
Hey...how are you ?
so you called me
anything important?
If I take the diary out in front of them
Kiran won't be able to show her real emotions
No, this is not a good time
huh...just wanted to meet you
ahaan..nice
so what's up?
...nothing much... you?
nothing much.. same regular
why are her girlfriends here?
totally ruined the plan.. It’s so awkward
say something... say something
huh... nice weather
yeah weather is nice
but it rains sometimes...you never know
I like surprises
this meeting is going no where
I got one chance and even that is now gone
nothing can happen now
I don't know if I'll meet her again
Does she think I am boring?
If this is my last chance
I should bring out the diary
it can't get any worse
This is Toronto's popular ice cream parlor
What would you like?
huh...Raju's Falooda!!
Raju's Falooda??
who is Raju?
there is a very popular falooda place in Pakistan
This isn't Pakistan
this is Sicilian street
they only service Sicilian ice cream here
Girls.. he just arrived from Pakistan
ooh!!! You mean a FOB?
I don't know, Why don't you ask yourself?
so.. are you a FOB?
huh, what is this FOB?
whatever it is... just go with the flow
huh, Yes
Haha, he agreed that he is a FOB
So you are a proud FOB?
yeah.. I am pretty proud
looks like you have taken training to be a FOB
Oh!! so FOB is a degree or a certificate
yeah I am a qualified FOB with honors
looks like you did Masters in it
no... I just did specialization
Sami.. I have to talk to you
Why, what happened ?
Do you know our neighbour?
Mark?
so his name is Mark
What did Mark do?
Sami... I have to ask you something
Hey!! I was talking to Sami
it's not that important
Sami...
no.. not in front of her... my room
What is it that you couldn't say in front of Asha?
What is a FOB?
FOP?
It’s spelled.. FOB?
oh FOB..
yes
Why, did someone call you a FOB?
they didn't say.. they asked me?
and what did you say?
I said yes
FOB means 'Fresh Off The Boat'
that you just got down off a ship
but I came by a plane
that doesn't matter
it means that you have not adopted the culture here
in simple words
you are still not 'in' yet
'in' ?.. but in Pakistan I was very 'in'
the rating system here is different
Wo what do I need to do to be ‘in’
you will have to adopt the lifestyle here
whether it’s your wardrobe
your accessories
your way of walking
lifestyle
but do remember this
the transition shouldn't be too quick
go slow...casual...
so it’s not too abrupt
casual...ok
but how long does the transition take ?
some do it in 3 months
some take more than 30 years
30 Years?!?
but I am meeting Kiran tonight
she calls me a FOB
Oh, so Kiran called you a FOB?
not her.. but her friends
but.. may be she also thinks of me as a FOB
ok.. thanks for your help
I have to meet her again I gotta go
Hey!! don't change all of a sudden
take it slowly
if you change all of a sudden
it will be worse
slow.. ok got it!! thanks
This hairstyle won't impress Kiran
have to try something more imaginative
this magazine may give some ideas
Naaahh
hmmm
No, I think is a bit too much
hmm...
Robert Pattinson...
Twilight!!
girls like Twilight.
Look at her expression
she is speechless!!
this hairstyle really worked
thanks Pattinson.
Ahhh, she is so beautiful
I can keep looking at her all my life
Did you change your hairstyle?
yes..NO!!!
I just use my palms
It's not as if I pasted a picture
of an actor on the mirror and copied his hairstyle
that will be so weird
you'll think what's wrong with this guy
it's not like that
just my hand.. it’s fingers and just smoothly
that's it!!
ok, too much detail
Brilliant start
now I should also reveal the color of my underwear
Are you planning to order anything?
I will have a Coppa D' Amore
nice choice I have heard it's great
18 Dollars!!!
I can buy 100 kulfis in 18 dollars
I'll go get it
Actually, can you make it 2?
1 for here and 1 to go, please
2?
yes one for my mom also loves it
Do I have to pay for that too?
$36 on mother and daughter
and I only have $40 in pocket
What do I get?
ok, I'll get it
Must be Rakay
forgot to take his keys again
keep ringing, I am not opening it
Argh!
Why don't you keep your keys with you?
I have no idea what you just said
but I am assuming it wasn't 'how are you?'
What do you want?
ok!! that's direct
I want world peace
cure for cancer to eliminate poverty
but at the moment I just want to greet my new neighbour
Hi!!
Why don't you go and work on those things first
and then come to me once you are done
you are quite the feisty one.. aren't you?
I thought you Indian girl's were into these strange encounters
I mean... first we bumped into each other
at the grocery store
then you tried to called the cops on me
only to find out that I am the boy next door
It’s like one of those.. what do you call it ?
Bollywood scripts
and it’s quite a cliche
and I don't like cliches
oh really... what movies are you into?
the ones with the twist endings
where the exotic girl living next door
turns out to be the serial killer
Oh, I would love to be her dead body
you will be if you don't leave
What's your problem?
You!! isn't it quite obvious?
ok, I get it!!
you like to play hard to get
I also like to play golf
Do you want to see how hard I can swing?
What did you get?
Water
Just water?
yes I am dieting
you are dieting?
you don't need any dieting
You think so?
In fact mom needs to diet
but she doesn't listen
you know she was so slim when we left home
but if you see her now you won't even recognize her
is obesity in your family genes?
What do you mean?
huh..no.. nothing
I home it’s not genetic
otherwise after marriage she will also become obese
no... no tell me what do you mean?
that it’s in the family
huh, you know what?
I got something for you
the diary was for a romantic time
but I don't think it’s going to come in this lifetime
Oh My God!! Ipod ?
this is a perfect gift
you know my Ipod was full
and I don't want to delete my songs
you know, it’s such a hard work to collect them
thank you so much
huh, you are welcome
there are some songs here
let me delete them..ok?
My Collection!!!
ok.. all done!!
thank you so much, this is an excellent gift
you are welcome
I promised my girl friends
I am so sorry... I have to go
it's my friend's birthday
I am really sorry Rakay
I feel really bad
bye!
Next on Mangoes
So do I get the job?
We will call you, if you qualify
He thought I was Indian
so I should be good with computer
that's so insensitive
exactly, I am a Pakistani
Rakay, I know you are playing games...come out
We were waiting for you to come and disturb us
I came here to give her company
she must be bored with you
What happened?
Daddi
Coming here?
yes, she is coming here
