Sanjay's story: Growing up in a poor family, Sanjay became a student tutor to help pay for his college tuition. When he began tutoring Silas Botwin, he met Silas's mother Nancy. A drug dealer, Nancy recruited Sanjay when she realized how desperate he was for money.


On his character, Maulik Pancholy stated "Not to judge the character, but Sanjay's worldview is a little different than the average human being's. He's a little weird. He's trying to find his footing and direction. It's all rooted in the paradox of being a highly intelligent underachiever, and there's some weird behavior that comes out of that... I think selling pot becomes a way for him to have something to do. Something to go for. And Nancy's the same thing. And then he discovers some stuff about himself this season that leads to a lot of experimenting and trying to figure himself out. But through all of that, once he makes up his mind to do something, he does it. As in, 'I see a way to help Nancy Botwin. I will burn down the bakery.' And that's another thing about the writing that's so great. Because you might not expect a character who doesn't really know himself to have that kind of conviction."

Well she burnes down her pretty much doomed house. The tie in with the San D fires, was awsome, considering I was really watching out for them. So back to point... Everyone up here in the Nor Cal area says and secretly hopes they make a move to Nor Cal, Humbolt, Oaksterdam, Occidental, Bodega Scene...!? It would just make scense... Would it not?
