Wendell confronts Sujay, and sends him packing!

Eyewitness reports are coming in from various sources about an incident that occurred last night (May 07, 2009) at the Times of India First Anniversary party at the Hotel Mariott. Apparently designer Wendell Rodricks was involved in a verbal confrontation with PRO Sujay Gupta and station-head Ethel D'Costa which led to the latter two making a hasty exit from the party.
Onlookers say that the trouble started when Sujay trooped in with Ethel towards the end of the party, post dinner, and in passing said something to Wendell, who retaliated by saying something to the effect, "I don't speak to, or mix with, people like you who sell Goa and Goans." Sujay apparently walked off to the other side of the party in a huff, with Ethel in tow.

Wendell was asked by some people about his comment and he took great pains to explain, to those who didnt know, about Sujay's exact involvement with the Timblos and Fomento and Cidade de Goa and how he was the spin doctor who had been hired to make their illegal and unethical activities look clean.

As the party progressed someone informed Wendell that Sujay wasn't even invited for the party and had just tagged along with Ethel. Sujay on the other hand seemed unconcerned about not being welcome and was all over the place socialising with Ethel.

Litte later Wendell went up to Sujay and told him that he was a backstabber and had no business mixing around with Goans. Wendell's partner Jerome joined in the argument by bringing up the fact that Sujay, on behalf of his employers, had filed a frivolous Rs. 500 crore case in a Calcutta court. Wendell too was quite angry by now and was shouting loudly. Sujay and Ethel were trying to pacify them but it didn't work and they kept on firing Sujay and even Ethel for having brought this 'slimeball' for the party. They accused Ethel of being 'two-faced'.

Wendell told them both to get out which they eventually did, with theTOI editor leading them out. There were lots of cheers when they then left, mortified, and even some clapping.
This is what I gathered from various sources that were present at the party. I hope someone who was present will write a more accurate report. It is a good thing as I see it. People like Sujay who are paid mercenaries for the people who are raping Goa should be told that we are not going to take any more crap. My hats off to Wendell and Jerome for doing the right thing. Sujay is paid to hide dirty deeds. He should be exposed and socially ostracised.

Cheers!
