American-born Rakhi is an artist and later becomes co-owner of a teashop with her friend. She is the daughter of Indian immigrants and is confused as to why her mother, who is a interpreter of dreams, doesn't want to talk about this gift. She is suprised why she has not got the gift. It leaves Rahki bitter and resentful that she cannot share in this part of her mother's life. When September 11 occurs, a series of events unfold and she realises what her mother means by what is missing in her shop. The story is beautiful and is from Rakhi's point of view. And it opened a new view point for me on what would people from India would have faced during that terrible time for no fault.
