Manoj: Achhaa...(laughs)

7
00:00:44,068 --> 00:00:50,671
Radia: <i>Kabhi kabhi hi haath mein aate hain</i> Manoj. (Now and then I get my hands on them)
Manoj: (laughs)...

8
00:00:50,671 --> 00:01:02,064
Radia: They are saying that I ... my email to Rashmi Pratap was rude.
Manoj: ... what is the email that you sent?
Radia: You see ... the email I sent to Rashmi Pratap was ... you and I have just spoken - just a bunch of lies.... which is...

9
00:01:02,064 --> 00:01:06,944
Manoj: <i>Woh jo</i> VSNL <i>waala</i>? (That VSNL one?)
Radia: <i>haan</i> (yes)
Manoj: acchha

10
00:01:06,944 --> 00:01:21,846
Radia: I'm surprised that you even prepared the questions to send to me ... however, I leave it to ET to decide whether they wish to carry unfounded news.
Manoj: hmm...
Radia: Now is that rude?
Manoj: hmmm...

11
00:01:21,846 --> 00:01:27,346
Radia: Rashmi <i>kehti meine kuchh nahin kaha, yeh log lage huye hain</i> ... Javed <i>laga hua hai</i> ...and Bodi (She says she didn't say anything. These guys - Javed and Bodhi are behind it.)
Manoj: <i>acchhaa.. acchhaa...</i>

12
00:01:27,346 --> 00:01:32,717
Radia: <i>Toh meine bola</i> ... Rahul <i>ko ki .....tera</i> Bodi <i>laga hua hai.</i> (So I told Rahul that his Bodi is on my back)
Manoj: hmmm...
Radia: <i>Toh keh raha hai ... jo bhi hai theek hai...</i> (So he says okay)
Manoj: hmmm...

13
00:01:32,717 --> 00:01:40,563
Radia: <i>Lekin</i> (But) I'm not willing to accept <i>ki tere</i> journalist straightforward <i>hain</i>.... (that you're journalists are straightforward)
Manoj: hmmm...
Radia: ... <i>tumne jo kehna hai karo</i> ... (Do/Print as you like)
Manoj: hmmm...

14
00:01:40,563 --> 00:02:00,478
Radia: Vested interests <i>hain</i> ... you're playing into the hands....<i>maine toh usko yeh bhi bola hai</i> (I even told him-) .... don't worry, you saw my Rahul mail ...
Manoj: hmmm...
Radia: at the end of the day ... you're journalists, it's ok ... When we say something it's considered rude...
Manoj: hmmm...
Radia: ... and when the others say it, when they're bullying you then its ok.
Manoj: hmm ... I saw that, I saw that.

15
00:02:00,478 --> 00:02:05,810
Radia: <i>Theek hai</i> na? (It's okay, right?)
Manoj: <i>Chalo badhiya hai badhiya hai ... nahin nahin ... badhiya hai</i> (No no, it's good.)

16
00:02:06,461 --> 00:02:19,535
Radia: <i>Chhodna nahin hai</i> (I'm not letting it go) I've asked them to file a..  a case in SEBI.
Manoj: ... <i>achcha</i>...
Radia: (inaudible) Sajjid is included, <i>haan</i>.
Manoj: ... hmmm
Radia: Sajid, Sajjaad and Nimish.
Manoj: Oh <i>acchhaa</i> (ok)

17
00:02:19,535 --> 00:02:31,068
Radia: Because you know what they ... what I said what I believe ...I told Srinath this morning.....
Manoj: ... hmmm...
Radia: ... their attempt was to disrupt VSNL  - and the staff cause disruption ...
Manoj: ... hmmm...

18
00:02:31,068 --> 00:02:49,025
Radia: They did two things, one - they said that they got the source from ... their source was ADAG.
Manoj: hmmm...
Radia: For the ADAG to give credibility to itself because there's no credibility it got Standard Chartered to call journalists also ...
Manoj: Standard Chartered called up journalists and said what ... that we are talking ... we're ...(inaudible)

19
00:02:49,025 --> 00:03:05,764
Radia: That's right. Now we're not talking... I spoke to (?) then, Nimish Shah, the mistake he made was ... he told Suresh ki Allen Rothlin is going to lead this and then Sajjid called and confirmed it.
Manoj: ...<i>acchha</i>
Radia: <i>Toh jo</i> Suresh <i>ko</i> mail <i>gaya hai usme</i> Allen Rothlin <i>ka naam likha hua hai</i> (Allen Rothlin's name is in the mail that went to Suresh)
Manoj: ... hmmm

20
00:03:05,764 --> 00:03:18,221
Radia: ... that Allen Rothlin is going to lead this acquisition.....this sale of strategic partner... for strategic partner in the under sea cable.
Manoj: ...hmmm
Radia: What the hell are you talking? Allen Rothlin left the company 3 months ago!
Manoj: hmmm ...
Radia: Then I decided to hell..... (inaudible)

21
00:03:18,221 --> 00:03:22,561
Manoj: (laughs)
Radia: <i>Theek kiya na</i> Manoj? (I did the right thing, no?)
Manoj: <i>Nahin nahin bilkul</i> ... Allen <i>hai kidhar abhi</i>? (Absolutely the right thing. Where is Allen now?)
Radia: <i>Haan</i>?

22
00:03:22,561 --> 00:03:41,003
Manoj: Allen <i>hai kidhar abhi</i>?
Radia: Allen has joined some firm in UK or something.
Manoj: <i>Achchaa theek hai</i>. (Ok)
Radia: In fact he's not joined the firm ... he's consulting for a firm in UK
Manoj: hmmm...
Radia: He's not in the Tata group any longer
Manoj: ... hmmm ... and why would he lead? He doesn't understand telecommunications yaar.

23
00:03:41,003 --> 00:03:47,605
Radia: No, but that is what Sajjid has said ... and I said are you people crazy? Since yesterday I've been telling them, you are carrying the story every one hour...

24
00:03:47,605 --> 00:03:51,007
Radia: <i>Mai Siddharth(?) ko bhi chhodne wali nahin hoon... aur woh keh raha hai ki</i> Shirin has said that... (I'm not going to let Siddharth get away either. And he says that...)

25
00:03:51,007 --> 00:04:13,327
Radia: ...so I said I would accept what you are saying that... if I had said it was speculation then you had the right to carry the story.
Manoj: hmmm ...
Radia: But when I'm saying it is wrong then you are going too far. See Shirin <i>ko bhi na thoda sa sabak sikhana zaroori hai</i>. (Shirin needs to be taught a lesson too.)
Manoj: ... hmmm...
Radia: <i>Bahut kehte hain na</i> (They often said) 'we are great journalists of ethics' and all that. Now let us see.
Manoj: ... hmmm...

26
00:04:13,327 --> 00:04:25,080
Radia: <i>Tum cut out kardo</i>, CNBC <i>ko</i> respond <i>karna band kar do. Maine issko bol diya hai</i> ... Rohit <i>ko bhi</i>. (Cut them out. Stop responding to CNBC. I've told him too.)
Radia: We will not respond to queries that will come from CNBC ... on TATA communication... or on RIL.
Manoj: <i>Theek hai</i>. (ok)

27
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:31,699
Radia: Start that ... I'll tell Manoj also Modi...
Radia: Let's start to... squeeze them a little bit.
Manoj: <i>Theek hai</i>.

28
00:04:31,699 --> 00:04:34,179
Radia: Yeah? Ok.
Manoj: Theek hai...
Radia: Ok. Bye. Bye.

29
00:04:34,179 --> 00:04:41,205
Manoj: 18 hours <i>ke toh</i> ... Monday launch <i>ho raha hai</i> channel ...
Radia: Tuesday I think ... Monday ... Tuesday ... haan
Manoj: ... hmmm..

30
00:04:41,205 --> 00:04:47,611
Radia: <i>Par</i> 18 hours <i>ko toh tum rehne do bhai, usko bhi thoda karna padega. Modi kam nahin hai. Yeh sab kam nahin hai</i>. (But let 18 hours be for now, we'll have to fix them too. Modi is no less. None of them are any less.)
Manoj: (laughs)

31
00:04:47,611 --> 00:04:53,914
Radia: Dekh Manoj, they cannot ignore RIL, they cannot ignore Tata group.
Manoj: No they can't.
Radia: Haan. So we'll see na what we have to do.

32
00:04:53,914 --> 00:05:11,276
Radia: <i>Maine abhi</i> Ravikant <i>ka</i>... Modi <i>ko</i> reject <i>bheja hai</i>. I've even copied Ravikant on the mail. He wanted... (I just sent Ravikant's reject mail to Modi)
Manoj: On the budget?
Radia: He wanted him to have a pre-budget interaction and sent a mail saying to Ravikant directly... Request your this thing and mark me a copy.
Manoj: ... hmmm...

33
00:05:11,276 --> 00:05:32,842
Radia: I replied back. He sent it yesterday ... i waited till today. I of course (backend?) discussed with Ravikant, do you want me to say no? He called me back saying, absolutely, say no, and we are on mail also, please say no. <i>Maine</i> Modi <i>ko</i> mail <i>bheja</i> with a copy to Ravikant, saying I'm sorry my client has rejected... regretted your invitation.
Manoj: ... hmmm..

34
00:05:36,357 --> 00:05:41,802
Radia: <i>Dekhte hain kya hota hai</i> Manoj. (Let's see what happens.)
Manoj: <i>Theek hai</i>.
Radia: <i>Naya</i> channel <i>hai</i> (It's a new channel)
Manoj: ... hmmm...

35
00:05:41,802 --> 00:05:49,473
Radia: <i>Toh uspe usko</i> carry <i>karein... dekhte hain</i>... Manoj (inaudible) Anil Ambani <i>ko</i> carry <i>karein na</i>. Anil Ambani <i>ko</i> carry <i>karna nahin chahte</i>. (They don't want to carry Anil Ambani) Credibility ...
Manoj: ... hmmm...

36
00:05:49,473 --> 00:05:54,521
Radia: <i>Hai na</i>? (Isn't it?) Now you maintain this. Because for both of them you're going to need this...yeah...

37
00:05:54,521 --> 00:06:07,923
Radia: (inaudible)... <i>tum</i> Sajjid <i>ko ek baar</i> offline <i>keh do</i>. (You tell Sajjid once, offline)
Manoj: ... hmmm...
Radia: ... <i>ke tumhare khilaaf ja raha hai</i>... (That it's going against you)
Manoj: ... hmmm... hmmm...
Radia: <i>Tumne jo karna hai kar lo lekin</i> (Do as you wish, but) now they... Tatas have taken it on... head on...
Manoj: ... hmmm...

38
00:06:07,923 --> 00:06:14,639
Radia: Hmmm?
Manoj: <i>Theek hai... Mein baat kar loonga</i>. (Alright, I'll speak to him)
Radia: <i>Theek hai</i>? Ok..
Manoj: <i>Aur yeh donon mai</i> cancel <i>karwa doon</i>?

39
00:06:14,639 --> 00:06:29,599
Radia: Aaa ... (inaudible) <i>aaj shaam tak na</i> wait <i>karein</i>? (Shouldn't we wait till this evening?)
Manoj: <i>Theek hai</i>. (Okay)
Radia: <i>Hai na</i>? (Isn't it?)
