Kanimozhi: Hello.
Niira Radia: Kani, one feedback that's coming back from Congress is that, that you've not even declared who your official negotiator is.

Niira Radia: Five, five people are negotiating at the same time. If your dad also appoints one person who is going to negotiate what everybody has done, then the problem gets solved.

Kanimozhi: Hey Niira, what can I do Niira? I really can't do anything about it.
Niira Radia: You can't tell them to appoint the official negotiator?

Kanimozhi: You know OK, we'll have to say it's Dayanidhi Maran.
Niira Radia: Well, I don't think he will. Do you think he will say that?
Kanimozhi: He will...quite positive.

Niira Radia: Good God. So, he is also not going for the swearing-in?
Kanimozhi: No, no. He is not going.
Niira Radia: Mm-hmm.

Kanimozhi: And then because I just wanted to stay back for the kids' sake and take a later flight, he also wants to.
Niira Radia: My God. You know, he is watching everything you're doing...

Kanimozhi: Let him watch. I am here at some stupid mall, picking up music CDs. He can join in if he wants to.
Niira Radia: (laughing) What are you picking up?
Kanimozhi: (laughs) I am picking up some Fateh Ali Khan. If he wants he can come and...
