00:00:04,831 --> 00:00:13,791
Phone rings (Pal, pal pal har pal)

2
00:00:13,791 --> 00:00:19,423
Radia: Hello?
Jehangir: Meow!
Radia: Hi, how are you?

3
00:00:19,423 --> 00:00:31,968
Jehangir: HT gave you a backhanded apology.
Radia: When? Oh yes, I saw that, yes.! Anupama (Indiscernible). What they are saying about Harish Salve...we don't want to react to that.

4
00:00:31,968 --> 00:00:49,120
Radia: Even BS has written Chinese whispers about Harish Salve, we don't want to respond to that. There's a reason for it, because what...you know...because, that's a very important point. And we will respond to it in appropriate time.

5
00:00:49,120 --> 00:01:01,152
Radia: They can write what they want, it's okay. I think.. my only worry is about the way the client behaves. Because, you know, I think they are still living in a bit of a time capsule of decades ago.

6
00:01:01,152 --> 00:01:28,288
Radia: And they think that the media today reacts differently and you know... you can handle the media...you know, I have handled eight crises I was going through them all last night, my team...and we handled so many crises in our lives, that we do things with dignity and I tried to explain this to MN that you have to come out of this with dignity, not with the...you know, that you can do what they can do also -

7
00:01:28,288 --> 00:01:49,279
Radia: You have to express your point, you have to explain it. You have to do it that way and you have to do it very clean. You can't start shouting at people and you can't start buying people off and you can't do things like that. You can't say I will pay for my coverage or my viewpoint because you have a strong case. You know, the other side is doing it.

8
00:01:49,279 --> 00:02:15,647
Radia: I had quite a thing with him yesterday about it. Their view is we should do it in a particular way, we should do this, we should have everything that is said, our word...you know, we should be writing the headlines and we should be writing the...every line, every thing, all that...<i>woh nahin hota hai</i> (that doesn't happen) baby. <i>Yeh log bhi</i>...Today the system's not like that <i>na</i>?

9
00:02:15,647 --> 00:02:33,055
Jehangir: I actually think that given their loss per case, they have come through pretty well. 
Radia: Yeah, yeah, they have come through very well but I think that our silence has been very good because, they are so desperate- yesterday they got their lawyer on every channel..

10
00:02:33,055 --> 00:02:42,271
Radia: They were leaking out letters, saying we have written and they have not responded.. then the lawyer went hammer and tongs against us yesterday on every channel.

11
00:02:42,271 --> 00:03:05,311
Radia: And he still maintained a very comfortable silence... saying <i>theek hai</i>,  (okay) we  have got time, we will respond. What's the hurry? Why're you getting desperate? I will just tell you, had I left it to MN, he would have wasted a statement immediately.

12
00:03:05,311 --> 00:03:17,599
Radia: <i> Band karo inko! Yeh karo, woh karo</i> (Stop this! Do this! Do that! ) I am very glad, MD agreed with me, because he said, you think like me.. he always says that, him and his words..

13
00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:32,192
Radia: You know, he yes, he is hurting them...the silence is hurting them. They are getting desperate. <i>Hum karenge jo hame karna hai</i> (We'll do what we have to do.) We have got a very good case.

14
00:03:32,192 --> 00:03:41,918
Jehangir: When is Tata Power announcing its thing? 
Radia: <I>Uska humne hold pe kar liya tha. Aaj kal mein kar denge</i> (We had put it on hold, they will do it today or tomorrow.)

15
00:03:41,918 --> 00:03:58,304
Radia: I was very late. Reached at 4.30 in the morning. Finally when I came back I had to deal with something which was to do with that Brazil asset for Tata Steel. I finished working on that paperwork till like 4 o'clock.

16
00:03:58,304 --> 00:04:14,175
Radia: 'Coz Yatish is not....otherwise I would check it out in the office <i>na</i>...I mean, Yatish will do it and I will check it in office.. and all that. He will bring it in front of me and I will get time to do it but here I don't get time for things and (inaudible) to do anything!

17
00:04:14,175 --> 00:04:28,000
Radia: I came home by 12.30 and then sat through and Yatish worked late in Delhi and while he was drafting I was looking at it.

18
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:34,143
Radia:  How are you, darling?
Jehangir: I am fine.
Radia: I am working everyday this week - Saturday, Sunday included.

19
00:04:34,143 --> 00:04:46,432
Jehangir: Why?
Radia: Just, work. Everyday there's a meeting. Even now, from morning I have been on the phone since 9 o'clock. I got up at quarter to 9 with a severe headache.

20
00:04:46,432 --> 00:04:59,743
Radia: And I've been on the phone and phone and phone...multiple issues, also, Tatas. I am doing a historic thing today- I am taking my one client to meet the other one.

21
00:04:59,743 --> 00:05:15,359
Jehangir: Oh really?
Radia: Yeah, but nothing...no discussion on it. please <i>haan</i>! Taken me long, long to convince.. it's been very difficult to convince your friend.

22
00:05:15,359 --> 00:05:24,575
Jehangir: So, what did you finally tell him?
Radia: No, I talked to him yesterday. I met him again yesteday.

23
00:05:24,575 --> 00:05:52,479
Radia: And I said to him, that you don't recognize that this disparity will hurt you? Forget about the...forget about everything else. Forget about if they are right or wrong, whether they are doing is for themselves, whether they are doing is for this or whatever.. they may tomorrow come together or whatever.. how does that matter to us? What matters to us is the disparity, is the input cost. If they make it, it will not make it competitive!

24
00:05:52,479 --> 00:06:07,071
Radia: Just focus on that! 
Jehangir: Tell me, where are they doing it?
Radia: I can't tell you that. Not on the spot.

25
00:06:07,071 --> 00:06:15,519
Jehangir: Good. Well, I hope it goes well. 
Radia: Hmm?
Jehangir: I hope it goes well.

26
00:06:15,519 --> 00:06:18,079
Radia: I am sure it will.

27
00:06:18,079 --> 00:06:27,040
Radia: I'll tell you, I'll tell you. Call me when you are on a landline. On my landline. 
Jehangir: Okay, meow.

28
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:39,328
Radia: You have my landline number?
Jehangir: Umm...I will speak to you in the evening, I am just heading into the office. We will talk about it afterwards, tell me how it goes. Hope it goes well, wish well for it.

29
00:06:39,328 --> 00:06:45,471
Radia: Yeah it's in the later part of the day today. 
Jehangir: So, we will talk in the night <i>na</i>, when we finish.

30
00:06:45,471 --> 00:06:55,120
Radia: I have a dinner in the evening at 8.30...it has to do with their matter only, we are meeting somebody who I know is going to handle something. 
Jehangir: So whenever you are done you phone me, I won't bother you then. You call me whenever you -
