Ritwik: Are you going to lay in bed the rest of your life
Rad: Maybe! Get outta here!
Covers her head with a pillow
Mom: Ritu, leave her alone beta, let her mope!
Rit: She is a drama queen
Mom: Could be, but she is disappointed right now, so let her be
Rit: Isne kaha mere saath aaj Univ jaayegi, yahi padi rahegi to?
Rad: You are going to be in college the rest of your life you idiot, I cant go with you for ever
He throws a brass bird of sorts towards the bed, she hurls a cushion back at him, it lands on the picture on the wall and it swings from side to side
He flings a balled up scarf, she flings back a book with a growl
It lands on the coffee table and knocks a glass to the floor
Shattering it........
Their Mom is FURIOUS
Mom: Radhu, I want you out of the bed, to clean that mess and out of the house in 30 minutes
Rad: What if I dont? (challenging)
Her Mom walks up to her bed pulls the pillow from over her face, opens the windows letting the cold January air seep in and turns on the fan and leaves the room
Ritwik is rolling on the floor..........
R adhika: I am finding my own place soon
Mom: Pehle apne eyes test karwaana baad mein move kar lena
Radhika: Mujhe dikhta hai
Mom: Not for too long!
Gopi: Madam khaana ban gaya ab main jaaoon?
Rad: Mera nashta?
Mom: Khud banayegi woh Gopi aap jao
Radhika crawls out, readies herself, wears unseasonal clothing, a short purple dress with cap sleeves and knee length boots a turqoise scarf around her neck does not blend with anything
Ritwik: Its not Lakme Fashion week you twit
Radhika: Its Rad Fashion Lifetime! you moron
He follows her around the house pulling her hair, tightening her scarf around her neck like a noose.
Rad: Kill me, but the Nobel Peace Prize winner in the making will have died a premature death
Ritwik: My ass!
Mom: RITU!
Rad: Aahhhhhhhhhhhhhh Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa (pretends to choke)
Ritwik gets smacked
The phone rings multiple times neither answer it
Ritwik picks up the car keys
Rad is stuffing her face with a leftover parantha and gulps her steaming chai
Mom: EYES!
Rad: I have to meet friends at Taj Mansingh at 4 I need the car MA!
Mom: After u show ur eyes!
Radhika peers at the ornamental mirror in the living room, "This captures my mood, so I am OK" (They are puffy and sore)
Mom: To phir yahan aao, I can make u fully blind,
(Mom reaches for her)
Rad smiles, "MAAA" Kitne Baje?
Ma: Lawrence & Mayo Janpath at 3:30!!
GopalDas Bhavan
Connaught Circus
Raghav is reading some journal sprawled on his couch, Nayana appriaches, he watches her legs and turns away
She sidles up to him on the couch
N: Did you miss me?
R smiles....
N: You did...
N: How come you only called twice
R flips thru the pages
Pushes his glasses on his bridge
N: I thot of a place we could go eat out tonite
R grunts softly
N: Fondue....... (softly feeling his sideburn)
R sucks his breath in, he wants to push her on the couch and let his instincts take over.......... he cant stand her demanding, cloyingly sweet ways but she is OK for his system, he thinks derisively
N: But business first, eye appointment.... :3:30 Lawrence & Mayo Janpath!
R: Yep! (softly, extricating himself from her pliant body)

Rad: Do you have kids?
Raghav: Not that I am aware of....
Poonam sucked her breath in, in shock.
She cant believe what Rad just asked and his response is shocking too.
For the first of many times Radhika is taken aback....
She didnt expect the guy to say "I may have kids that I dont know of"
She never usually gave the other person an opportunity to speak when she did, she usually had a sound repartee, this was one of the few times when some one had walked away with the honors
She looks at him, searching her brains for a come back, it wont come.........
Rad:Umm (sheepish)
Umesh :Rad!
Rad: I... I have to go (tucks her curls behind her ears, revealing her diamond hoops)
Quickly turns away
Raghav continues to look.....
Lalit: Meeting room to mila nahi maam, aap sir ke kamre mein baat kar leejiye?
Radhika: Enforcement Director kab aayenge (hiding her shock from hearing Raghav's response)
Lalit's phone rings
Poonam: Tu chup reh yaar, you got what you asked for (hisses, giggling)
Rad: He was trying to establish that hes a gigolo... (bland)
Poonam: Aur kar, aise questions..... (giggles)
Lalit hangs up his call
Lalit: Ashwini Sir Kal aa rahe hain
Rad: Good thanks Lalit...
Rad: Poonam tum aur Umesh pehle apna bolna phir main........
Poonam: Yahi hai na order?
Shows her a format
Radhika checks her slides on the tablet computer
Umesh packs their samples and things for display
Umesh: baaki samaan yahi chhod den kya hum?
Lalit: Jee sir!
Waves a peon down to put it away near his desk
Rad: Lets do this! (energetic)
Poonam: 4 gaon ka sawaal hai (smiles)
Rad: Aur 26 hazaar 22 log! (emphatic) As far as records go this is not our best, do you recall Maharashtra? Nasik ke paas?
Poonam: Rad, chal rey abhi.
Rad picks up her bag and her slide copies and laptop.
Her trailing dupatta sweeps the floor as she grabs everything.
Something coaxes her to lift her head and look up at the man
She does
He is looking at her.
She can hear Umesh ask her "Arindam se baat hui kal raat ko tumhaari?"
She slides her mirror work jhola from the back rest of the chair, he follows her hand......
She turns and walks towards her co workers..

Part 17 Encounters
January 14 2011
11:12 AM
Kanpur
State Indl Dev Corp
Radhika is on the phone, Umesh and Poonam are arranging documents spread over three chairs. The office is unsually busy today, netas and babus come and go at random. Radhika is wearing a magenta jaipuri kurta with a pink churidar and a green dupatta. Known to dress randomly and carelessly today was no different. Her thongs, her phone her diamond hoops and her watch were lavish though............
She wore eye make up today to make them appear well rested. She had already downed three cups of the canteen chai. Sachin was acting like he didnt know them today
"Thats prolly a good idea for his life" Rad thought as she barked into the phone.
KITNE der mujhe phone par rakhoge aap?"
Poonam: Yeh bhi lekar chalen?
Rad: SAB lekar chalo, mujhe lagta hai retirement tak main yahi rahoongi. Aur isi Babu se argue karte hue mere pran niklenge
Realizes she is on the phone, all her over dramatization is heard at the other end " I am NOT kidding!" she says and continues to speak a tome........
Umesh and Poonam mumble and giggle, she steps on Umesh's foot, he yelps.......
"Kal main apne pumps pehankar aaoogi"
January 12th was mighty unsuccessful, Sharmaji had barely 15 minutes for them after his late LENCH
.
No water samples were shown NO pitch was made about polluting corporations, no licenses were seized.
She could feel a lump form in her throat. They carried two bottles of water with them, Dubey Aunty had given them those when they left home.
In the auto, she pretended to act Swades's SRK like sending Poonam and Umesh to splits, later they all collectively agreed that this issue seemed like a tough nut to crack, much to their chagrin
Poonam: Phone rakh de Radz, tera gala nahi sookhta kabhi?
Rad: I drink oil before I go to bed.
Poonam: We need to sew our ears shut yaar (shakes her head)
Umesh: Shaadi kabhi mat karna Rad, tera pati bhaag jaayega
Rad, on the phone and talking in person a thing only a rare few like HER can manage to do " He will learn to speak as much as I do and enjoy my speaking and encourage me to speak some more, maloom?"
Poonam: Some MORE, kahin hai nahi, sab toone hadap liya (giggles)
A shadow falls on the reception area, its long and squiggly...... she follows it and stops at the two shoe clad feet in suede.
Traces its path, cotton trousers in tan and maroon and tan check shirt, glasses and the tuft of her under his lower lip "what ever thats called"
Their eyes meet.
His sparkles in recognition. Hers smile
Poonam: AAJ usko chhod de please Rad. Bechara Kanpur chhodke bhaag jaayega
Radhika on the phone: Dia, yes, tell Arindam the Delhi lab and the Kanpur lab speak two diff languages.
Dubey aunty ke ghar par fax nahi hai, tum mujhe shaam ko cyber cafe mein fax karo.
The man approaches the wait area
Sharmaji's assistant Lalit arrives also
Poonam: Radhika baat kar lo inse, aaj please koi panga nahi yaar
Radhika hangs up, as the tall blase' chap takes his seat
The waiting area looks worse than Nayi Dilli Railway station Radhika had said
Lalit: Maam 12 baje ka fix ho chuka hai aapka, aap tanson mat lena
Rad: Bilkul nahi, kyon ki agar aaj Sharma ji parasnal kaam se gaye to hum bhi unki Sentro mein unke saath.
Lalit: Zaroor madam, kya baat kar rahi hai. Waise woh pul ke paas woh kachauri milti hai na wahan lench par jaate hain
Rad: Aaj unka lench yahi (and starts to ramble)
Lalit starts walking backwards stunned at the speed she speaks. Poonam pulls her hand, her dupatta slides off her shoulder, revealing fully bare arms.............. and a plunging neckline
Raghav thinks " This leather thing is not so bad afterall" checks her out slowly
Rad turns around at that moment catches him staring and says "What (do you want)?
He just looks
Poonam: Hi! (polite)
He nods
Umesh: Did it take you this long? (to Raghav)
Raghav: Hmm..
Rad: You can tell us who you met and what they said, we could use your info to better build our case, though not sure how much more prepared we could all be you know. 5 days here? God knows how many more. I should just ask Sharmaji to host me you know. Endless hours of waiting and anticipation, thats what this is. I am sure child birth must be like this, I am told........... I bet its not half as painful as this.......
Umesh and Poonam arent shocked anymore
Raghav: I wouldnt know! (softly)
Rad: Oh! you dont have kids?
Raghav: As far as I know.....

Part 16 Recall
January 12th 2011
4:24 PM
Rad: Umesh nahi aaya na abhi water test ke results lekar? Gosh we are screwed...... (runs her fingers through her hair accentuating her sharp features and saucer like eyes and continues to ramble as Raghav stares speechless)
Rad is giving Raghav a dirty look,
Rad: Unbelievable!
Raghav grunts an "Amen" in agreement inaudibly. ;)
Poonam's phone buzzes, she looks at the text, smiles "Rad, Umesh aa gaya" "He is is signing in at security"
Sachin returns with Raghav's folder "Yeh lo Sir, Towari ji, Sharmaji sabke seyn ho gaye, waise kaam to ho gaya aapka.
Radhika is busy sifting through her papers as Umesh walks in, Raghav is reviewing his papers
Umesh: 4 sample ke test ho gaye.
Radhika is shocked " SIRF 4 satrah sample lekar gaye na tum?
Umesh is carrying a laptop case like bag, but looks more like an over nite bag, its so bulky and stuffed in
Raghav cocks his ears, he is suddenly curious but pays attention to the conversation without showing it
Poonam: DIKHA result
Sachin lingers hoping for a "reward" may be?
Radhika is on the phone again but hangs up quickly, Sachin approaches her bravely like a warrior "Waise Madamjee aapko main bata doon Saab lench se aa chuke hain, Accounts mein hain abhi"
Her face breaks into the most glorious smile.
Raghav takes a break from texting to enjoy the perfect set of teeth on display
Umesh and Poonam are reviewing the pages and pages of computer print outs........ that flow like white water.........
Rad: Thanks Sachin!
Sachin: Jee Mem!
Sachin walks into a side door and brings a stack of file from one of the cavernous room and proceeds back to Acctg.
Raghav texts on his phone and starts to pack his things away.
Poonam and Umesh tease Rad about being quiet for over three minutes.
Rad: Neat! Aage se main bilkul chup! (smiles irritbly)
Sharmaji walks in, just when Raghav is ready to leave, Radhika suddenly appears before him
Poonam nods at Mr Sharma, and does a "Namaste" with folded hands. He returns it and walks into his room, the AC in which is on full blast, the backrest of his chair is draped with a bath towel for some reason...... the windows are closed shut and all the tube lights are lit
Rad: Didnt we see you at Hyatt?
He is taken aback a little, Poonam and Umesh's jaw drops in unison.
Rad: Two weeks ago? You were brooding?
Raghav just looks at her not amused not angry just plain astonished. His mind races trying to place her, she is extremely attractive when she is just a foot away he thinks...... "her eyes are bigger than Nayana's"
He just shakes his head unable to acknowledge her
Rad: Boy! My memory is sharp! (smiles)
Raghav: Huh?!
Poonam: RAD! Chalo!
Radhika reluctantly turns away and walks towards her coworkers
Radhika: I am sure I ven seen him before guys, wonder what he is doing here? Hmm! Strange to see some one you met at a bar in Delhi at Kanpur weeks after........... I am not wrong actually.
and continues to reheasre the pitch for Mr Sharma. "Umesh MERI baat suno pehle, lets not show him the results just as yet, lets wait"........ Poonam intervenes or tries to and Radhika obviously doesnt let her get her opinion in...
She turns around suddenly and yells after Raghav "See you at Hyatt next week" and starts to laugh,
He turns around and looks at her checking her out one last time......before turning and walking away.........
4:24 PM

Part 15 Scoop of Life (UPSIDC)
3:58 PM
Raghav: Push? (dryly)
Radhika: Well, it doesnt say that anywhere. It could have been pull also
Radhika: (to a passerby) Sachin hai na aapka naam? Director saab hain?
Unaware Raghav is walking step to step with her
Sachin: Ji Madam lench se abhi aaye nahi
Rad: LENCH? Bhayya CHAAR baj gaye. Raat ko hum yahi soyenge kya? Aisa roz late lench karte hain Director saab? Aise to chalega nahi. Arindam ji ne unse pichhle hafte baat ki ne
Passers by pause and stare curiously, some check her out, admiringly
Rad ofcourse is in no mood to quit any time soon "Hum jo itna saara research karke aaye hain uska kya? Water sample tests bhi aa chuke hain
Sachin: Woh Madam
Rad: Aap mujhe bolne nahi denge shaayad
Sachin: Madam
Rad: Aap abji phone lagayiye main unke kamre ke bahar dharna karoongi
Poonam: Radz YAHI kar lenge dharna to kal................
Rad: Shsuh Poonam, Sachin ji please aap call karo
Sachin looking at Raghav, who is leaning on the wall and staring at her dumb founded. He has no clue how anyone could talk so much
Sachin: Sir aap bhi Madam ke saath hain?
Raghav just shakes his head
Radhika: Aap meri baat suniye, mera 4 din ke visit ke baare mein Sharmaji (Director of Licenses and Approvals) ko do hafte se email bhej rahi hoon main, unhoney aapse baat nahi ki?
Sachin: Madam main to License Fee mein clerk hoon
Rad: Iska matlab aap Sharmaji se milte nahi? Unka peon kahan hai
Sachin:Madam woh hafte ki chhutti par hai
Rad: Great! Poonam get ready to pitch the camp tents yaar. Aaj raat ko yahin
Sachin: madam daftar mein aap.....
Rad: Poonam Arindam ko call karen? Usko keh de? I think it would be a good idea, he wanted me to cover Lucknow in this trip, Kanpur will take me a decade methinks
Poonam:Radhika, aadha ghanta wait.........
Rad:AADHA? I plan to be here all nite, or we take the address and ambush Mr Sharma at his house
Sachin: AMBUSH ka kya matlab hai madam, woh ghar zyaadatar Ambassador gaadi mein nahi jaate hain, apni Sentru hai unke paas.
He has no clue what Radhika is plotting
Sachin is confused and lost decides to shift attention to the tall guy
Sachin:Sir aap kis kaam se?
Raghav: Business.... (bland)
Sachin: Aap subah Mahant ji se milkar aaye nahi?
Raghav nods dispassionately, his eyes rove over the gal in orange and purple who is on the phone now, WHILE she searches for a pen and a note pad................ he can see the world through her curls, they are shiny and seem like a telescope lens with those black rings........
Poonam: Rad, chal unke kamre ke aage chup chaap baithte hain (hushed)
Rad: Isko mat chhodna (pointing to Sachin)
Sachin is suddenly fearful, the gal in orange seems scary. He actually takes a step back
Poonam: Raddddd
Rad: Agar yeh gaayab ho gaya na, Sharmaji mil chuke phir(yells into the phone) "Dia Arindam aa gaya kya? Usko phone do yaar please" pause "Stalk him Poonam" (whispers)
Sachin: madam main to bus aapki help kar raha tha! (afraid)
Raghav finds teh whole situation hilarious....... there is a microscopic twitch on one edge of his mouth
Rad: Dia? Haan.......
Sachin: Sirjee main to jaata hoon abhi
Raghav continues to lean
Radhika puts her phone on hold stares the the tall guy with too much hair on his head and a soul patch and glasses
"Are you part of the picketing volunteers?"
Poonam is apalled "RAD!"
Poonam: sorry! (to Raghav)
Raghav just stares at her while his phone rings
Rad: The fact that you chose to follow us and hang out with us I assumed you were part of...... Poonam what was the NGO yaar
Poonam: Sharmajiiiiiiiii (she prays looking up at the sky)
Sachin: Aapne faram pe sign le liye Guptajee ke (to Raghav)
Raghav: Hmmm
Poonam (to Raghav ) Sorry!
Raghav fishes out a manila folder from his neat pile of papers he is holding
Sachin sifts through, "aapki fees to maaf hai"
Rad is stunned, "Dia baad mein"
Hangs up
Rad: AAP LOGON KI FEES MAAF KAR DETE HAIN?
Rad: Aapko maloom hain India ki 60% abaadi ek waqt ke khaane ko mohtaaj hai
Sachin is seriously terrified, he turns around and almost runs.....
Poonam: Tu marwaayegi yaar
Rad: Dekh bhaag gaya...... what a crook man! They actually have the authority to pardon fees? What is this? A State Govt Corporation intended to bring business into the state or the Bill Gates Foundation? This is ridiculous yaar.
Poonam: Pehle Mr Sharma se baat uske baad,
Rad: Umesh nahi aaya na abhi water test ke results lekar? Gosh we are screwed...... (runs her fingers through her hair accentuating her sharp features and saucer like eyes and continues to ramble as Raghav stares speechless)

Rad: Aap abji phone lagayiye main unke kamre ke bahar dharna karoongi
Poonam: Radz YAHI kar lenge dharna to kal................
Rad: Shsuh Poonam, Sachin ji please aap call karo
Sachin looking at Raghav, who is leaning on the wall and staring at her dumb founded. He has no clue how anyone could talk so much
Sachin: Sir aap bhi Madam ke saath hain?
Raghav just shakes his head
Radhika: Aap meri baat suniye, mera 4 din ke visit ke baare mein Sharmaji (Director of Licenses and Approvals) ko do hafte se email bhej rahi hoon main, unhoney aapse baat nahi ki?
Sachin: Madam main to License Fee mein clerk hoon
Rad: Iska matlab aap Sharmaji se milte nahi? Unka peon kahan hai
Sachin:Madam woh hafte ki chhutti par hai
Rad: Great! Poonam get ready to pitch the camp tents yaar. Aaj raat ko yahin
Sachin: madam daftar mein aap.....
Rad: Poonam Arindam ko call karen? Usko keh de? I think it would be a good idea, he wanted me to cover Lucknow in this trip, Kanpur will take me a decade methinks
Poonam:Radhika, aadha ghanta wait.........
Rad:AADHA? I plan to be here all nite, or we take the address and ambush Mr Sharma at his house
Sachin: AMBUSH ka kya matlab hai madam, woh ghar zyaadatar Ambassador gaadi mein nahi jaate hain, apni Sentru hai unke paas.
He has no clue what Radhika is plotting
Sachin is confused and lost decides to shift attention to the tall guy
Sachin:Sir aap kis kaam se?
Raghav: Business.... (bland)
Sachin: Aap subah Mahant ji se milkar aaye nahi?
Raghav nods dispassionately, his eyes rove over the gal in orange and purple who is on the phone now, WHILE she searches for a pen and a note pad................ he can see the world through her curls, they are shiny and seem like a telescope lens with those black rings........
Poonam: Rad, chal unke kamre ke aage chup chaap baithte hain (hushed)
Rad: Isko mat chhodna (pointing to Sachin)
Sachin is suddenly fearful, the gal in orange seems scary. He actually takes a step back
Poonam: Raddddd
Rad: Agar yeh gaayab ho gaya na, Sharmaji mil chuke phir(yells into the phone) "Dia Arindam aa gaya kya? Usko phone do yaar please" pause "Stalk him Poonam" (whispers)
Sachin: madam main to bus aapki help kar raha tha! (afraid)
Raghav finds teh whole situation hilarious....... there is a microscopic twitch on one edge of his mouth
Rad: Dia? Haan.......
Sachin: Sirjee main to jaata hoon abhi
Raghav continues to lean
Radhika puts her phone on hold stares the the tall guy with too much hair on his head and a soul patch and glasses
"Are you part of the picketing volunteers?"
Poonam is apalled "RAD!"
Poonam: sorry! (to Raghav)
Raghav just stares at her while his phone rings
Rad: The fact that you chose to follow us and hang out with us I assumed you were part of...... Poonam what was the NGO yaar
Poonam: Sharmajiiiiiiiii (she prays looking up at the sky)
Sachin: Aapne faram pe sign le liye Guptajee ke (to Raghav)
Raghav: Hmmm
Poonam (to Raghav ) Sorry!
Raghav fishes out a manila folder from his neat pile of papers he is holding
Sachin sifts through, "aapki fees to maaf hai"
Rad is stunned, "Dia baad mein"
Hangs up
Rad: AAP LOGON KI FEES MAAF KAR DETE HAIN?
Rad: Aapko maloom hain India ki 60% abaadi ek waqt ke khaane ko mohtaaj hai
Sachin is seriously terrified, he turns around and almost runs.....
Poonam: Tu marwaayegi yaar
Rad: Dekh bhaag gaya...... what a crook man! They actually have the authority to pardon fees? What is this? A State Govt Corporation intended to bring business into the state or the Bill Gates Foundation? This is ridiculous yaar.
Poonam: Pehle Mr Sharma se baat uske baad,
Rad: Umesh nahi aaya na abhi water test ke results lekar? Gosh we are screwed...... (runs her fingers through her hair accentuating her sharp features and saucer like eyes and continues to ramble as Raghav stares speechless)
Rad is giving Raghav a dirty look,
Rad: Unbelievable!
Raghav grunts an "Amen" in agreement inaudibly. ;)

Part 14 UP State Indl Dev Corp
January 12th 2012
3:40 PM
Poonam and Radhika enter the office, the building appears like its been around since the Mughals ruled India. many of the windows did not have glass frames on it. There were pan stains and people squatting in the hallways like it were a under funded government hospital.
Radhika is on the phone so Poonam is being left alone.
Radhika: Haan woh to theek hai, but since I AM not going to Amsterdam, I want you to know how hard it is to get anything done around here.
Men pause and turn admiringly, she looks gorgeous in her "designer" khadi outfit in purple and orange. Her feet are in orange Salvatore thongs. She frequently checks her iphone for the battery. Waves and signals animatedly at Poonam asking her to pull files out, her jhola containing her iMac slides off her shoulder in the process
Radhika interrupts "I TOLD you I wanted to go but Mr Arindam Dey the great almighty boss wants me to be HERE (almost shrieks)
She continues: I am hoping we get all the funding in the shortest quickest visit possible
I have three project reports ready to be submitted, nobody wants to look at it, Mr Dey will ONLY see it if I can find more dirt on the leather factories!"
Poonam:Radz yaha kis se milna tha?
Radhika: Finding DIRT? I am SOILED, shush Poonam!
Poonam: Hamey 3 ka appointment mila hai Radz.
Radz shoves her hair back and stares out a window, there are over 100 scooters parked outside, and the same numbers of Ambassadors.
Radz: I have it! I have it! I told Arindam! He should have told you nahi? (into the phone)
Radz: Umesh is on his way yaar!
Poonam: Shaayad late ho jaayega Radz
Radz: Shhhhhhhhhhh! Zor se nahi (smiles)
Poonam Oh! Sorry!
Radz: My brother is visiting Sandy
(on the phone)
Poonam: Radz: 11 minute bache hain
Radhika pulls the stuff out of her jhola sets it on the empty steel chairs by the wall
Poonam sifts through stuff as well
They both do not notice a tall guy, a REALLY tall guy, with glasses, and a soul patch dressed in silver grey work trousers and a white shirt get out of one of the side hallways.
He walks towards them, notices the bent form of the two young girls, one especially entices him, its a barely/partially covered back in orange with some stringy thing forming a bow at the center
His phone rings, he doesnt get it, just lugs his laptop bag and walks by lazily
Radz: Sandy, gotta go yaar
Poonam: Chalo Radz
Radz: Arindam ko bol zara golf chhode aur paani ki taraf dhyaan de
A peon walking by with glasses of water pauses
Radhika peers at the water.......
Poonam "Radz baad mein ANALYZE karo"
She carries the files, Radhika holds her laptop
They walk towards two large glass doors.....
Sandy hangs up finally
Radhika: Umesh kahan hai yaar, we are screwed. Lab se test results nikalwaane mein 4 ghante?
Poonam: We are not in Delhi Radz:
Radz: Mazaak? (smirks)
Poonam: Kal de dena
Radz:haan kal tak chabi lekar chale jaayenge aur factory ki pooja ho jaayegi aur laddoo bat jaayega. Paani ka photos dena tum gaon waalon ko. I hate Arindam BTW. Main Delhi jaakr usko bataaoongi
She walks into the double doors, the man is by her, she yanks at the handle it wont budge, she pulls
Radhika is stilling talking "Yeh office band ho chuka hai aur sab Bbau log nikal gaye, ab ho chuka kaam. Umesh ki naukri gayi, saath mein tumhari, main to yahan khet mein kaam le loongi......
Poonam hisses that a guy is standing close by listening
Radhika is oblivious "Is se achha aaj hum leather factory mein picket kar lete"
She yanks the door again he places his hand over hers and gently nudges it inwards, it slides smoothly
She looks up at him and a spark of recognition crosses her face, she is in the middle of her rant so is quite preoccupied
Raghav: Push? (NOT PULL you idiot) (dryly)

Part 13 Dehat Kanpur
January 12th 2011
Kanpur
Uma Dubey's house
Uma: Radhika aaj tum tannery chali jao, kal Jal Nigam lekar jaaoongi main?
Radhika, is poring over an assortemnt of papers, 100s actually looks for a pen its stuck behind her ear. "Waise Uma Aunty, I cant change my schedule at the drop of a hat, mere saath yeh do jo aaye hain they have the script ready to rattle off at the Jal Nigam office, zyaada der ki humne to yeh sab bhool jaayenge, (looks at her assistants) Aapko pata hai Uma Aunty hame is project ki tayyari mein mahono nikal gaye, pata nahi kya progress ho paayega, (hits the space key on her iMac) Hamare paas documents bhi sahi nahi hai
Uma: Beta meri Didi to keh rahi thi
Radhika: Aunty maine unko kaha tha, I might need her if we have to picket outside the tannery, SEWA ki taraf se volunteers milenge hame? Its really important Aunty
The power goes out, comes back and the voltage dips, the tube light dims, its a cold foggy January morning
Her female assistant is on the phone, the guy is frantically taking notes, counting money and taking notes
Uma: Radhika
Radhika interrupts"Aunty hamey Dutch NGO se funding ek condition par milegi agar hum ne tannery ke maamle mein progress kiya
Uma: Thats a big deal beta
Radhika: I know Aunty but please aap haarne waali baat nahi kariye please, yeh mera 4th project hai, wholly independent, Aunty mujhe promotion se zyaada saaf paani ki chinta hai (emotional)
Peers at her screen "Beta tumhe eyes check karwani chahiye" Uma says worried
Radhika: I will do it as soon as we solve Jalaun and Dehat Kanpur's water woes
Her phone rings she jumps "MAA?"
Answers "Ji! Abhi 2 ghante mein", looks for a clock, there is one that says "Prestige" on the wall.
Ritwik ke purse se maine nahi nikaale paise "Gopi ne nikaale honge"
Her female assistant Poonam sucks her breath in audibly in shock at that lie
Mom: Radhu tum jhoot mat bolo!
Rad: MAA Aap RITWIK ki baat sun rahi hai hai?
Mom: If you wont tell the truth, here is some reward for you. Papa ne ek ladke se baat ki hai tumhari shaadi ke liye, IS SUNDAY ko aa rahe hain"
Her phone drops, her heart skips a beat uncharactersitically
Rad: Ive made up with my boy friend MA!!!!!!!!!!!
Mom: Koi baat nahi, ab is se bhi shaadi kar lo, Papa ki ichha hai (stern, yet sarcastic)
Rad: Ma main ATM jaana bhool gayi so le liye, ab iski saza SHAADI?
Uma rolld her eyes, notices her dhoodhwaala escorting her cow to her front gate.
Goes to the kitchen
Poonam giggles
Rad:Main Dilli se seedha Belgium (her ex BF's abode)
Mom: Chalo shaadi wahin hogi phir Papa ke pasand ladke se, galat baat beta, subah se Ritu tumhe kos raha hai
Radhika: Something new?
Mom: You are adamant, opinionated and childish, you need to grow up!
Radhika: Sure! I will put it on my calendar! Ma, mujhe Jal Nigam jaana hai
Mom: NAUKRI kar lo beta, what is this? You are putting ur life at risk
Radhika interrupts "MA Even ur life is at risk, Gargi ke DUSU members ekdum goonda hain" (giggles)
Mom: Radhikaaaaa
Radhika: Ma this is my first trip here..... pleeeeeeeeeeeeez
Mom: Papa is furious that you are so careless, UP mafia is deadly
Radhika: Iam more lethal, Ma......... Gotta go!

His phone has been ringing all morning
It rings for the 8th time
R: Yep??
Dad: Are you up?
R:I just answered........
Dad: Did Usman Ali show up?
Raghav: NOT sure! (flippant)

Raghav: i moved it to 11
Dad: YOU DID?
Raghav: Jee?
Dad: is this your way of saying "I dont give a shit about the work dad?" (furious)
Raghav is quiet
Dad: This is JUST not done........
Raghav: I can call you when he gets here
Dad: I am sending Ateendra at 4 then
Raghav, we'll get the keys to the tannery by then its of no use (smug)
Dad: I really wish your wife was skewering you (enjoying that painful shot)that would be just about lethal for you......(exasperated)
Raghav smiles, a glorious, satisfactory smile , he loved his Dad's sense of humor......."Lethal?" he chuckled
