Guy 1: Kab ja rahi hai UP?
Radhika: May be early next week, but maine abhi notes nahi banaye, its going to take me atleast two weeks. I dont think we have that kind of time. Looks like there is a buyer for the tannery. Not sure who (she rambles)
Guy2: Stop! Ek minute.... Stop (raises his hand)
Radhika: can you imagine what companies in India are doing? Sab ekdum crooks hain, I have actually read the registertration of privately held corporations in india, lot of ghapla man!
Guy 1: Ek minute,

Now both guys are raising their hands as if they are in a class room.
Guy 2: Excuse me
Girl 1: Its no use (smirks)
Radhika: Did you know in UP....
Guy 1: RADHIKAAAAAA
The man wearing the read white and blue check shirt, sitting at the bar, turns around drawn to cacophony..... "Her curls" he thinks.....
He can see some midriff, on her and her female friend...... he leans to get a better look
Girl 1: Chup! Ekdum chup

Radhika shuts up defeated

Guy 1: Hum log agle hafte Jaipur ka plan bana rahe hain for the Literary festival?
Radhika: GET OUT OF HERE! I cant go. Rit wik aaya hai, Ma ke semsester exams shuru ho chuke hain, I think Papa starts a new job. UP pata nahi main train se jaaon ya bus se. Tum log last kab gaye UP?
Her friends collectively hang their heads, some even rest it on the table and sob.....
Radhika Kya hua?
Girl 2: Kuch nahi, you shud get another drink (waves at the bartender)
Guy 1: Ritwik kitne dino mein jaayega?
Girl 2 busrst out laughing "Bus ab ke band nahi hogi" "Koi mere liye cab bulao yaar"
Radhika's phone is ringing non stop, she stares at it with various expressions ranging from happiness to rage but does not answer.
Guy1 : Aaj usne phone ko chhod diya, hamari wat laga rahi hai yaar!
Guy 2: Its all becoz of that NGO she workd for
Girl 1: she is very cool. Coolest of all
Hugs Radz from the side
Radhika: Ek mathematical model dikhaaon, how to derive clean water?
There is a collective NAHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII loud, and thunderous
The man sitting on the bar stool grabs his credit card from between the leather folds of the check holder and walks way without glancing at the group.
Guy 1: Chal Radhika ne aaj ke liye, ek customer ko bhaga diya
Radz: HE ATE. Some gross sounding thing!
The place starts to fill up the friends respond to text msgs and calls
Girl 1: Your bro is visiting ghar par khaana kha
Radz: Nahi, he is a pain in the butt
Girl: Hes cute
Radhika: Do you want to become my Bhabhi? Waise Rachu Bhayya ke wife ko maine pasand kiya. I cant let you marry Ritwik. I am going to find  some one awful, mean and nasty, some one with two sets of teeth and thinning hair. Someone that snores and passes gas all day long

Guy 1: Mohit hai na!
Guy 2 (Mohit) ROFL Hee haw
Guy 1: He is skinny too
Mohit: I hate the name Ritwik
Radhika: If the name was something else would you marry him? Mohit "Tripathi"
Starts to giggle, her friends give up on her...
Mohit: Chinta mat kar, I will get my day under the sun...... SOON
Radhika: I plan to be single the rest of my life (serious, almost tragic)
Guy 1: I dont blame her guys, her boy friend, or EX boyfriend Sankalp left the country!!! Thats how she affected him!
They guffaw

Radhika is mock offended
Mohit: Her husband will WALK to Tibet, shaadi ke ek mahiney mein, like Wangchuk in 3 Idiots. Chalo Tibet ka bhala hoyega.
Raucuous laughter follows....
The 6'2" walks back in while the bartender meets him half way to hand him his phone.....
