Her newly acquired college degree has taken Meg Smith straight back to where she started: her old bedroom in her parents' house. Now - her long cherished dreams of authorial fame buried beneath a sheaf of rejection letters - Meg spends her time watching SRK films over and over again. Enrolling in a beginner's class in the language she knows so well, in the hope for some kind of validation, she meets a handsome professor, Raj. Determined to impress him, Meg decides to combine attributes of Hindi actresses. Distraction lurks, however, in the persona of her classmate, a blue-eyed six-footer named Dev, whose love beads, dreadlocks, Guatemalan ponchos and patchouli deodorant disqualify him from embodying the filmi ideal. As Meg veers between self-assurance and self-flagellation, she realises that the search for an identity is as difficult in a sari as in cut-offs. This is a hilarious, tongue-in-cheek story of angry, secretive siblings, clueless parents, unexpected discoveries and foes-turned-friends.
