Part 55--Scoop of Life--Diplomacies

Part 55
Gopaldas Bhavan
Connaught Circus
Feb 17th 2011
Wed
Sushil: Around 7 Sudha....
He listens while the brothers engage in a conversation about work, softly....

Raghav sips from his mug and walks around the periphery of the room
Sushil hangs up quickly
Pawan: Was that your boss? (smiles) (bad joke!)
Sushil nods respectfully....

Pawan: Clean water ka office East of Kailash mein hai na?
Sushil: Jee Sir, but woh Kilokri Malviya Nagar jaati hai roz.
Pawan: I read about their project in Jodhpur two years ago may be? (thoughtful)
Krishan "acts" uninterested, Raghav knows thats not the truth.
Sushil: They are doing a lot of good work all over. Their new project is in Dehat Kanpur. 27 villages and over 7 tanneries..... (beaming)
Krishan quickly changes the topic " Sushil, aap next week Yavatmal jaa rahe hain Ateendra ke saath, wahan ke DM se baat ki hai Pawan ne two weeks ago, aap bus hamara proposal de deejiye. Expansion mein bahut time hai"
Raghav readies to leave as his phone rings
Krishan: Raghav, do you have a second? (getting up from his chair)
Raghav nods receptively.....
Sushil: He is so quiet! My daughter is the exact opposite! (amused)
Krishan: My wife and I both are not.... wonder who he is like (smiles fondly)
Sushil (laughing) ditto for my daughter..

Raghav is amused, he smiles at Sushil.....
Krishan and his son leave the room while Pawan shares some cotsyn samples with Sushil
Krishan: (speaking softly in the hallway,) Anupama International, Supermax Holdings (The companies that legally owns some of the tanneries in question) ke rep firm ka phone aaya aaj subah.
Raghav looks with interest "I have asked Ashwini Kumar's admin to reach out to them" says his Dad.
Raghav: Thats probably a good idea
Krishan: For now..... we would like to keep everything about the cotsyn untouched by the tannery issue Raghav (softER)
Raghav: Ashwini Kumar's admin is in touch with the NGOs Dad.
Krishan: Tumne dekha last time?
Raghav: That AND I heard so (yesterday?) (suddenly stops to cover for the slip)
Krishan looks at him curiously

Krishan: I want you to find out if this Dutch NGO is the one thats working to cancel our licences in Dehat
Raghav They are! ((softly)
Krishan looks at his son, wonders how he could have been so impassive when Sushil was waxing eloquent about his daughter.....
Pawan steps out followed by Sushil.....
Sushil: The samples are great!
Krishan nods knowingly, Sushil gawks at the father son duo wonders what they were talking about wonders what it would be to have a son like Raghav............
Raghav is on the phone.... walks away towards the huge annexe..... seats himself on the arm of a sofa carelessly.......
"Did you call Radhika?" he asks smiling.....
Sushil notices the look in those eyes and wonders yet again "Must be his girlfriend?"
