Buscemi was hilarious in that movie.

I remember speaking with you over the phone once when you lived in Nashville. Did you socialize with any other Bangladeshi people in your time in Nashville?

Dear Asaad, it has been a pleasure talking to you during my lone time in Nashville. One day someone from Bangladesh Association called, I was totally surprised as I rarely shared my contact with anyone. Well he recognized you and invited me for his daughter's birthday which I humbly accepted. I was unable to attend though. Those days I was travelling to Dover and later Oklahoma every week for assigned projects before moving to Minnesota.
