00:00:12,512 --> 00:00:22,752
Niira: Hello?
Manoj: Hmm.
Niira: Ah. You called? Sorry. Television was on.

00:00:22,752 --> 00:00:28,639
Manoj: All well?
Niira: I think it went off very well, Manoj, although I am exhausted.

00:00:28,639 --> 00:00:54,752
Manoj: Hmm. Imagine how much he must be exhausted. Same thing -
Niira: Yeah, yeah he was, yeah. You know. And you know, you don't know how many calls I had to handle, my Brazil thing in between, I had to handle like ten things in between, I was going out, oh God, my brain hurts, I got to work on those things now. Shit. Listen, brilliant, <i>haan</i>, brilliant meeting, this is something - I think a lot of it will turn the tide.

00:00:54,752 --> 00:01:18,560
Manoj: <i>Chalo</i> -
Niira: Arindam was - you should have heard Arindam, you know, so he called me back. <i>Abhi yeh na, maine bol di hai usko</i> (Now this, I told him about this), when we were going down he was coming down with me to meet Pradyumal, <i>ki jo bhi ho jaye</i> (that whatever happens) you're going to do this and you're going to continue. You're not going to let me down. 'Cause <i>merese</i> Manoj <i>ko milna doosri baat hoti hai. Tum logon se milna alag baat hai</i> ('Cause Manoj meeting me is a different thing. His meeting you guys is a different thing).

6
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:26,496
Niira: <i>Aur yeh</i> issue <i>sirf tum log</i> explain <i>kar sakte ho. Hum log - humko yeh nahin ki nahin aata hai</i> explain <i>karna, lekin yeh baat tumhari hai, tumhari</i> family issue <i>hai</i> (And this issue can only be explained by you people. It's not that we don't know how to explain it, but the matter is yours, it is your family issue).

7
00:01:26,496 --> 00:01:29,824
Niira: You know?
Manoj: Hmm. 
Niira: Anyway, he's understood.

8
00:01:29,824 --> 00:01:37,503
Manoj: So you met Parimal also?
Niira: Haan, yeah, he was downstairs, sulking away.
Manoj: (laughs)

9
00:01:37,503 --> 00:01:45,952
Niira: I don't care for these guys, I mean, you know me, <i>na</i>? My interest lies only with these two guys, I'm not bothered about the rest.
Manoj: Hmm.

10
00:01:45,952 --> 00:01:51,328
Niira: But good <i>na</i>, Manoj, even he was very happy.
Manoj: Very good.
Niira: Yeah, he was very happy.
Manoj: Hmm.

11
00:01:51,328 --> 00:01:57,216
Niira: I think he's happy at the quality of the meeting, the type of people, you know?
Manoj: Hmm.

12
00:01:57,216 --> 00:02:07,968
Niira: And I hope you are pleased that it has happened?
Manoj: No no, I'm happy, very happy, I think a lot of -
Niira: He told me to apologise to you for snapping at you but he didn't want to get into the GSMA.

13
00:02:07,968 --> 00:02:19,231
Manoj: <i>Accha, theek hai.</i> (Okay, alright)
Niira: Yeah, he said, "Please Manoj <i> ko keh dena ki </i> (Please tell Manoj I am) very sorry. <i> Mein usko kuch kehne wallah tha lekin mera matlab hi tha, (I was going to tell him but) I didn't want the discussion to go that way, <i>woh</i> tangent <i>mein chala jaata</i> (that would go off on a tangent.)

14
00:02:19,231 --> 00:02:24,863
Manoj: <i>Accha, theek hai.</i>
Niira: Please <i>usko keh dena mera woh </i> (tell him I) -  I didn't mean to do that.
Manoj: <i>Nahin nahin, theek hai, koi baat nahin.</i> (No no, it's okay, no matter.)

15
00:02:24,863 --> 00:02:33,055
Niira: You know he's a bit this thing. Sethuraman was watching out of the window when I dropped Anjani.
Manoj: Who?
Niira: Sethuraman.

16
00:02:33,055 --> 00:02:40,478
Manoj: Is it?
Niira: <i>Haan</i>, he was on the first floor, <i>na</i>, looking out of the window, so I told Anjani, I said, Sanjay, there's Sethuraman watching.
Manoj: <i>Haan? Accha.</i> (What? Okay.)

17
00:02:40,478 --> 00:02:45,087
Niira: <i>Has raha tha</i>. Anjani <i>ko raastein me subha</i> pick <i>kar lena</i>. (He was laughing. Pick up Anjani on your way tomorrow.)
Manoj: <i>Haan theek hai,</i> okay.

18
00:02:45,087 --> 00:02:53,279
Niira: <i>Usko poochna, na</i> (Ask him, okay?), he hadn't slept for so many days, I'm sure you also haven't slept for many days so...
Manoj: No no, I have slept properly.

19
00:02:53,279 --> 00:03:00,447
Niira: So I'm glad I cancelled the morning thing.
Manoj: Yeah.
Niira: I thought, you know, everybody will talk too much and too much this thing.

20
00:03:00,447 --> 00:03:06,079
Manoj: <i>Haan</i>, it would have been too much of a hurry.
Niira: <i>Haan</i>, and I have to work on my Brazil, I'll also have another two-three hours yet.

21
00:03:06,079 --> 00:03:10,431
Manoj: That was not a consideration, but it's okay.
Niira: Huh?

22
00:03:10,431 --> 00:03:21,183
Manoj: That's not a consideration but it's okay.
Niira: (laughs) No, no. But anyway now, this is good, I'm glad we had that. Tomorrow (inaudible) I've told him to be aggressive.

23
00:03:21,183 --> 00:03:26,351

26
00:03:34,239 --> 00:03:40,895
Niira: <i>Accha sun, tujhe ek kaam karna padega,</i> Rakesh Hari Pathak <i>ko tujhe shaam ko</i> phone <i>karna padega, dupahar ko</i>. (Okay listen, you'll have to do one thing, call Rakesh Hari Pathak in the evening, afternoon.)

27
00:03:40,895 --> 00:03:51,391
Manoj: <i>Haan, theek hai, main kar lunga</i> (Okay, I'll do that.)
Niira: And when we are at NDTV, can a Rakesh meeting Niira <i>ke saath</i> (with), Manoj Modi is in town?

So you wanted to get a couple of people, I really wouldn't have a too much of a...this. But since it's the first time, I'd like it to be limited to a couple of guys. And then subsequently if it goes off then we can always do the bureau -
