That's consistent with the dialog. When Leo asks whether she is from Haryana, her response implies that she's not: "I don't have to be, it's in my country."
It was a small role and yet I remember it so well from when the series was on TV. There was a beautiful warmth, intelligence and kindness with their scenes. This small part and sequences of scenes would have stolen the core in any other series. West Wing was full of such moments. Yet, I still remember this so clearly.
Yeah, if an Indian mother brought be fresh baked Naan, I wouldn't be able to resist it, no matter how weak or sick I was. Stuff is practically magical.

I just had a bypass (no heart attack) and can tell you, it is so hard to eat afterward. You have no appetite and anything you do eat tastes like rancid pennies. I just wish I had a rehab facility like Leo.
When he asks where she’s from I suspect it’s a reference to the Bhopal disaster of 1984, where there was a gas leak at a Union Carbide plant that killed thousands.
yes, and Bhopal is in Madhya Pradesh, not in Haryana (or Hariana - as cc puts it). Not sure why West Wing writers make these mistakes, unless it is on intention.
@@spicetruckin They change the year and the location on purpose. Union Carbide could have sued the show in the US for mentioning the incident for defamation.
Also, he says the surname of the nurse is Chakrabarty. Chakrabarty is a bengali surname from Bengal, never does a bengali surname will make u assume that someone is from Haryana. Bengal and Haryana are polar opposite regions in India. 😂. Its like you hear a Russian surname like KUZNETSOV and assume, "Ah, u must be from France". 😂
@Rahul_Singh100 How a foreigner is supposed to know that, genius? Also a surname doesn't determine where one is from, anybody with any surname can be born anywhere in India and grow up there.
The sad thing with all this (for those who don't know) is this actor, John Spencer, died of a heart attack just over a year after this episode first aired. ☮
@@ApolloCDR I think it would've been about the same. Santos would've won the election, Leo would've been part of the transition team, probably serving as a balance for Josh's freakouts (as opposed to Sam), before he settled in as VP.
Instead of being sad about the inevitable end that awaits us all, why not celebrate instead the opportunity he had to deliver such deeply human performances that live on after him?
@@SpydeyDan It might have gone either way. A producer has said that Santos was the original planned winner, but Vinick became such a popular character with the writers that they had debates over who should win. John Spencer's death was likely a deciding factor in the final decision.
It's hard to watch John Spencer portray a character with severe health issues knowing that Spencer himself would pass suddenly from those same ailments.
Right, coz we know maida is not good for health. I love momos, chowmin,chhole bhature, naam, tandoori roti, chaap, ...all have maida in it. I eat once or twice a month.
This was season 6 out of 7 seasons. Season 7 was mostly Santos running for and eventually winning the election for President with Leo being his running mate. Sadly John Spenser (Leo) had a fatal heart attack in real life just before Santos won.
I kind of missed what happened. Leo wanted Bartlett to order a bombing and he says… or what ?? Then Leo realizes his counsel is no longer needed. They’re at camp David I think and heart attack but Leo has been fired.. but this was before Santos and Leo was gonna be his vice president?
This is I think a season before Santos runs. By the time Leo gets involved with the Santos campaign he's a special advisor under C.J. with a reduced workload but still involved.
Leo at the end of Season 5 wants Bartlett to avenge the loss of American lives overseas, (the bombing that killed Fitzwallace and criticially injured Donna) Bartlett wants to make the peace. When Leo realizes he cannot get through to the President, he knows he has to step down. The signs of the heart attack were showing in the episode well before the climax, but Leo ignored it.
@@cmupensfan he didn't step down, he forced Jed to fire him by saying he would never back down. Leo was so shocked, he wandered out in the rain in a daze, and that's when it happened.
There are very few things I want to know more than what happened in the confirmation hearings for who would've been VP on the Santos/McGarry ticket.... So much better than the current state of US Politics....
I also wish The West Wing had an 8th season even a shorted one where he could have seen the first few weeks of the Santos administration and seeing Baker get confirmed and Vinick been Santos's Secretary of State.
The 'Chakraborty' surname is not from Haryana but Bengal. Indians don't give examples of Gandhi and the British King on day to day conversation. Not everyone in India eats 'Naan'. There is more to Indian food than just 'Naan'. Enough of these stereotypes.
So I’m pretty sure the company in question is a reference to the the ‘84 Bhopal plant Where a chemical company’s sub standard protocols (coz why not, it’s only Indians) almost destroyed a state capital will millions of people in the city
What the.. you call chakraborty to a Hariyanvi and play in by a kerala decent . I feel like seeing a European character played in Bollywood . Their concept all white people are from Europe 😂
You lot drive me insane. It's a done deal and the west wing has limited chances of being rebooted to the glory of Sorkins best. But S 5-7 are still the show and they are still canon. You lot kill so many shows when they have bad seasons. The problem is how can showrunners know how to please every nay sayers. Person A hates Z, but loves X, and person B hates Y but Z is acceptable l, and some guy thinks the show must die. So they go all over the damn place trying to please and pissing everyone off.

Naan has the most enticing smell among all things on earth. Not many people can refuse.
It's probably the most basic dish in Indian cuisine

If you have the DVD set, the next 7 or so minutes opens up to more India issues and heart bypass issues.
