It starts when Mr. Ashok is outside doing some walking with the other masters around the complex. The servants are standing at the corners holding their waterbottles and towels.
The blonde girl from the Ukraine doesn'tgo out of Balrams mind and so he asks Vitiligo-Lips to get him a girl like that. Vitiligo-Lips tells Balram that he needs at least 6500 Rupees for that. Balram asks how he could make some extra cash by cheating his master. Vitiligo-Lips tells him things like driving other people around when he is sure his master doesn't need the car at the moment, to siphon petrol from the masters car and sell it or even take the car to a corrupt mechanic, who takes way too much money and give the driver a cut of that amount. Balram starts doing those things, because he needs the money for the girl.
As he has enough money for the girl he tells it Vitiligo-Lips and they drive to the hotel the girl is at. Balram pays 6800 Rupees, because he is a servant.
They go upstairs to the girls room. Balram is quiet disappointed, because he had imagened, that the girl would be prettier. But nevertheless he had already paid and his twenty minutes are running. As he touches her he shrieks and slaps her, because her hair is dyed. The manager who took the money from Balram enters the room. Balram smashes his chin against the door turns around to the girl, because she is screaming and then gets beaten up and kicked out of the hotel. Vitiligo-Lips has already left and so Balram takes the bus for getting home.
Mr. Ashok is sitting on Balrams bed when he arrives. First thing he says to Balram is that he knows where he was and what he where doing there, because Vitiligo-Lips has told him. Balram gets nervous until he notices that Vitiligo-Lips has lied to Mr. Ashok and just told him Balram would be at the temple offering prayers for Mr. Ashoks health. Mr. Ashok tells Balram that he feels pitty for him and that Balram gets a new room to sleep in and that he can go to hospital to get his red marks he has on his palms and behind his ears treatened.
Mr. Ashok tells him that he is sick of the life he leads and that he would like to bea simple men, but he hasn't got the courache for doing that. They go eating together at Balrams the place Balram is used to eat.
Workout
I were wondering why the masters are doing their workout outside of the hotel. They are running around the complex, which might look quiet funny. If you have the money for a servant you can afford a hotel with a fitness center in it as well. For example the Park Plaza in Dehli has rooms from 8,999.00 - 9,999.00 Rupees per day. Park Plaza Hotel
With respect to "the workout" you've certainly made your point, Sebastian! ;-)
