Niira: Hello.
Manoj:
Haan woh Utpal

Niira: No no, that is sub judice.
Manoj:

na?
Manoj: Okay, okay.
Niira: Jaiswal
ki story
humko help
hi karegi (Jaiswal's story will help us).
Manoj: Umm.
Haan, theek hai. Ki yeh allocation
hua nahin hai. (Umm. Yes, okay. That this allocation hasn't taken place.)
Niira:
Haan, haan haan. Par Manoj,
ek baat hai, mein tujhe ek baat bataon, yeh jo Anupam
aur yeh sab hai na (Yes yes yes. But Manoj, there's one thing, may I tell you one thing, this Anupam and all) -
Manoj: Hmm.
Niira:
Agar tum aur mai, aur hum log teen-chaar jane agar handle
karle na (Id you and I, and us three-four people handle this) -
Manoj:
Haan.
Niira: - (inaudible)
kisi ki zaroorat nahin hai (there is no need for that).
Niira: Is time, because honestly speaking,
na, mein jo dekh rahi hoon, aur woh mujhe feedback
aa raha hai, ki yeh jo humko - jaise Rohit
se bhi feedback
aata hai ya to yeh, in logon se, isne aise kiya hai, isne aise kiya hai - hum log jyada tar fear psychosis
mein jeete hain, tujhe pata hai na, I always try to break free of that - (...honestly speaking, what I am seeing, and what feedback I am getting, for example from Rohit - this person did this, this person did that - we tend to live with a fear psychosis, you know, I always try to break free of that -)
Manoj: Hmm, hmm.
Niira: So I do not believe, after what I've seen that nothing is possible without communicating, and I don't think that they're so powerful,
ki there are wheels within wheels, they have great strategies as Vishal puts it, you see.
Manoj: Hmm, hmm.
Niira: I do not believe that, their strategy is destructive, and you can always counter destructive strategies.
Manoj: Hmm, hmm.
Niira: So I honestly don't know that, you know, his meeting Arindam or this or that will cause - I don't think so. Because I - Arindam has been on the phone with me since yesterday, twice he called me, you know, everyone has been in touch. Sukumar by the way called me this morning
haan-
Manoj:
Haan, what's he saying?
Niira: You know, when you - I just want to say one thing to you, that I'm really grateful, and I'm sorry, maybe next time the meetings should be one-on-one, also you know, he says, when you come to Mint, just remember that you're going to have lunch with us.
Manoj:
Arrey wah! (Well done!)
(inaudible)
Manoj: Madam,
bas, woh ek hi hai (just that one thing), I mean what you mentioned in the morning that it's upto reporters you don't get involved because they have a tendency of lee - being leeches, more than anything else, Sukumar and all that is fine, but you know, Nayantara and Supriya are all -
Niira: I don't even handle them, but they keep on calling me, and I get really bugged with them.
Manoj:
Haan, to aap bol do na, ki isse deal
kar le (Yes to tell them to deal with it) - you know, travelling or something like that and they will -
(inaudible)
Manoj: No because it will get irritating after a point of time, I mean, since I handle them on a daily basis,
yeh kuch story
de do, koi paper
de do, yehi chalta reha hai unka life
mein...
Niira:
Haan, haan, haan, haan.
Niira: And then I said - I said, "Okay, can I choose the menu?"
Manoj:
Nahin (No), okay, TP.
Niira: Of course you can (chuckles).
Manoj: (chuckles)
Niira: So anyway, just letting you know.
Manoj: Good good, good good.
Niira: Keep that in mind, keep that in mind that we do not need that, and so when you meet Vishal now -
Manoj: Hmm.
Niira: - you need to tell him that you know, honestly speaking, our observation is quite different from what we're being told, you know -
Manoj: Hmm.
Niira: On the ground,
tumhari team
ko review
karna kal (review your team tomorrow), I think we should take some very pragmatic steps, you know?
Manoj:
Theek hai, theek hai (Fine, fine).
Niira: Now let's look at it from, that point of view. Huh?
Manoj: Sure -
