Late Bloomer

Is the heat on?

Oh, shit.

We have to start planning, Maanu.

Dude, this is crazy.

Maanvi: Not now, we have our own problems.

Problems? What? No, this is good news.

Dude, I made this video about the pagg, right?

Got mad real and everything.

I posted it online, it's been blowing up.

People love it.

That's great, for you,

but I told you I'll handle it, Mom.

I just haven't had time yet.

Supinder: I have news too, Jasmeet.

But today's Saturday.

Unless it's Monday already.

You don't know what day of the week it is?

Every day's the same when you work for yours--

When you're unemployed?

Okay, someone's in a mood.

If they like it, they might start selling

my dishes out of their trucks.

That's great, Mom.

Right?

Yup. Yup.

That's great.

Right. Yup.

Supinder: The sampler has to be there by 1:00pm, Jasmeet.

This is crazy. Yeah, yeah, yeah 1:00pm, got it.

At least there'll be heat in the car.

Seriously, why is it so cold in this house?

Dad says the heater is "broken".

If you looked up from your phone,

you'd see I used air quotes.

I felt them, and he just says that when he wants

to cheap out on a bill.

1:00pm, Jasmeet, and Maanu...

Oh my God.

What the hell?

Somebody commented "Turban zaddy" on my video.

Do I look old?

All right, I'll take it.

Niroja, thank you for coming in.

It's so good to meet you in person, girlie!

Uh, yeah. You, too. You can call me Chippy.

Girlie...

Listen, you must be wondering

why Boutique Raysha reached out to you.

I'm creating this unique capsule collection

that you'd be perfect for.

Plus, I love, love, love, love meeting other girlbosses,

especially ones with literally the most gorgeous taste.

Oh, yeah. Thanks. I actually like your style too.

It's, um... It's simple.

- Mm-hm. - Understated.

Literally my mantra.

But, I do love what you do with

all of your... maximalism.

My intern showed me your page,

and I was literally, pew, blown away.

Like, look at this.

How do you even come up with these designs

and these little wrapping-- wrapping hacks?

Um, thanks. Actually, my, uh...

My Amma and my Periamma taught me all the drapings.

I hated it then, though.

Aw, so what changed?

I don't know, I guess I was just, um...

Just young?

But lately I have this renewed appreciation for Eastern beauty

and artistry, but I want to make it my own.

So, instead of using skirts, we use leggings and bikinis

to tuck them in.

Literally genius!

Thanks. I mean, it's--

It's the draping of our ancestors, it's ours.

It belongs to the culture.

No more letting the whites colonize our style.

Preach, girlie. Preach.

Oh, my goodness!

This is literally so darling.

I could send some samples, if you want to see more.

Chippy, you are literally a star

and we'd be lucky to work with you.

Dude, my "why I wear a turban" video is blowing up.

Chippy: I did see a certain someone on 6ixBuzz.

No way.

"YouTuber explains turban significance.

Is he speaking facts or nah?"

Yo, that's like the Toronto equivalent

of being on the front page of Vogue.

I feel like you don't know what Vogue is.

So, how's your thing with thing?

Chippy: My interview with Raysha?

Yeah, your thing with thing.

I don't know. I don't exactly fuck with thing, but--

Mm-hm.

I think I could get something out of working with her.

- Yeah. - But she's okay.

She literally uses "literally" every other word, though.

Hm.

- She has a lot of followers. - Yeah.

- Are they as corny as her? Sure. - True, true.

Chippy: Do I still want to take all their money?

- Hundred percent, I do. - Dude, what the hell?

Chippy: What? I just want to get paid.

No, listen to this comment.

Chippy: My fault. I thought you were actually listening.

"Who gives a hard hat analogy for a pagg?

You're watching too much Bob the Builder, you fuddu.

Way to white wash years of rich Sikh history."

Eye roll emoji?

This dude hit me with the eye roll emoji?

Chippy: So? You get plenty of hate comments.

Just look at this one.

"It's giving five-star rating on Uber."

Wait, is that an insult?

That's just lazy.

Hate from your own people, though?

That's like an inside job.

But you got thirsty bot comments.

That's, like, the only real currency of success

nowadays anyways.

Twelve likes? What the shit?

Okay, good talk. I'm out.

Stay warm and don't let the haters turn you

into a cold-hearted bitch.

Yeah, all right. Peace.

Maanu.

But it still takes planning, you know?

Well, yeah, but that's why I thought we could make it

more low-key, you know? Less of a big deal.

Big deal or small deal, you have to make a decision.

I've been busy with work

and I'm probably getting my period or something,

'cause I'm just tired.

I'm having enough iron, Mom.

Go get your blood work done.

I don't need to get blood work. I'm fine!

No, let's call Babbu uncle, okay?

He's a dentist.

Wow! Found it. Look.

Isn't it beautiful?

Wow.

I don't know, it feels weird.

My Roka outfit was a bit constricting,

but you will get used to it.

I think I need something else.

Something that feels more like me.

Nothing too showy.

This might be the most exciting thing you will do for 30 years.

You're right.

What are you doing?

I've been loafting on the planning too long.

I'm going to go find my own outfit. Don't worry.

It's no trouble.

We'll sit together and start on something.

- It's fine, it's fine! - Make sure it's a modest one!

You aren't someone until you have haters, right?

Yeah, but this shit's, like, really pissing me off.

I mean, he's probably just some loser who doesn't cut his nails.

Yeah. Damn, 25 likes now?

Hey, what are you doing?

Responding.

Why? They want you to engage.

You're playing into their hand.

Yeah, but somebody's gotta put him in his place.

Oh, shit. Yeah, I gotta go.

Rebecca: Okay? Should I, like, hang up or something or...

Hello? What are you doing?

What's happening?

I feel like I'm getting virtual motion sickness here.

How does he know all of this?

Big raw vegetable.

Loser, looking like a Virgin.

Disrespect, bro! Man, fuck you for this!

Hey. Are you there?

I think I know who it is.

Avtar: Right, like this. Yes, good job.

This is very weird. You want to stand like this.

Right foot forward. More. Good.

Yo!

Ah, Singh.

Class, stand down.

Come to take a class to ignite the warrior spirit within?

You mean the keyboard warrior spirit?

What do you mean?

You know what I mean, dude.

Why don't you just say it to my face?

Say what to your face?

Look, I don't want to throw down--

Are you challenging the Gatka teacher in battle?

Not so wise.

'Cause if you were to get hurt,

who's going to run Aunty's tiffins?

After all, she needs her little delivery boy.

Man, I knew it was you, you piece of sh--

Whoa! Hey!

Is that the zubaan you want to speak in front of the youth?

After all those beautiful words you said
