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..
