A neighbor dared him to attend the first meeting of introductory Urdu-Hindi—the language most commonly spoken on the Indian subcontinent. He ended up taking three years of the language to get a citation, which led him to accept a post-graduation gig in Bombay, India. He will study film and assist in tsunami relief there...
