@blue.Precisely, Kools, and he says the same thing to his Shambu kaka when he is attending to Arjun and planning to miss the shashti puja if necessary. He should told Arjun that he was busy with a number of other patients in Kolkata and could not leave them. It is theCV's fault that they made him say this stupid thing.
In any case, if you want a specialist doctor, you have to go to him or her,and no vice versa, as they do with Dr Michael DeBakey for heart surgery and the like. Very few would travel to another city or country. And if Ovi was ready and eager to go to London, why can't she go to Kolkata?
The fact is that she thinks this doctor is Indian, and she would feel more at home with her ladidah friends if she had a
firangi, and went to a Western hospital. The way she puckers up her (woefully inadequate) nose at the idea of actually having to stoop to staying in a 'small hotel', I felt like taking a stout slipper to her backside. It would have done her a world of good!
And if I had been her husband, seeing the tantrums she throws at the drop of a hat, and the way she carries on as if she is doing him and the world a great favour in condescending to produce this kid, for whom she does not seem to care tuppence, I would not have taken a slipper to her. A hatchet, more like! She is the ruddy limit, that girl!

Anjili for a principled not money minded Doc , Onir's explanation about not leaving Kolkata during pujo days and calling the patient here only is slightly arrogant
what if the patient is not in a condition to travel ...surely his expertise in complicated surgeries makes him familiar with complicated conditions
And pujo is about Maa Durga , don't the educated believe that saving a woman is a service to her rather than staying put in one place to observe rituals
That was the thinking of Bengali reformists .
