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)
