(pause)
Niira Radia: What about Tatas? What's happening on that?
Ratnam: Ma'am, Tata...everything's ok, but this rent 50 percent, yesterday I got a mail, that's why yesterday also I tried you.

33
00:02:54,559 --> 00:03:07,103
Niira Radia: Haan.
Ratnam: This agreement, they say that 50 percent of the rent has to be paid by us. For which I have already sent a mail to 
Krishna Kumar stating that its not possible. Then I made a call to Krishna Kumar, he did not picked up (sic) and then I called Sanjay Ubhalia.

34
00:03:07,103 --> 00:03:09,919
Niira Radia: <i>Haan.</i>
Ratnam: He says that he will take up the issue with Krishna Kumar and sort it out, that.

35
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:18,879
Niira Radia: No, but when you were in Bombay, it was agreed that no rent and -
Ratnam: Very clearly it was agreed and Krishna Kumar also said that he will talk to Voltas (a Tata Group company) and he will waive that.

36
00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:24,255
Niira Radia: <i>Haan</i>.
Ratnam: But yesterday whole day ten times I tried Krishna Kumar, Krishna Kuma was in a meeting it seems.

37
00:03:24,255 --> 00:03:31,935
Niira Radia: No, no, yesterday was Indian Hotels board meeting, it was the annual results being announced -
Ratnam: Oh, oh, oh.
Niira Radia: - and also they were in the middle of buying Sea Rock Hotel in Bombay, no?
Ratnam: Oh, oh.

38
00:03:31,935 --> 00:03:41,406
Niira Radia: So that's why, and I know that - it was very difficult to reach him yesterday.
Ratnam: Yeah, yeah, that's why I called you , I wanted to tell this.

39
00:03:41,406 --> 00:03:50,879
Niira Radia: No, I will speak to him, I will speak to him uh, Ratnam I'll speak to him Monday, because you know today he is not there, he has gone with the Chairman (Ratan Tata). I hope he hasn't travelled to the US today.
Ratnam: Who, ma'am?

40
00:03:50,879 --> 00:03:57,279

00:04:20,832 --> 00:04:35,167
Niira Radia: ...Let me talk to her. I'll just talk to her and, you got my other number <i>na</i>?
