The MBA GANG Challenge
The MBA Gang is about 3 chapters away from “The End”.
Before I publish the last of the 3 chapters, I thought it would be fun to have a MBA Gang Contest, to see how far this fiction has stretched your highly overactive powers of imagination.
The winner of this contest will get 1 T-Shirt of his/her choice from the Desi Train Store (cheap shit, but hey its free). And an invitation to join the Inner Circle, if you already are not in it.
Plus… yes there is more, if you are in Southern California, oz will buy you dinner and drinks (at a decent place and not at Ram Bharose Hotel). It would also be an opportunity for you to discuss and pick oz’s brains on Bollywood, fiction, comedy, business and whatever else Desi Train has triggered inside you. The offer for dinner is open only until May 31, 2006.
So here is the question:
What do you think is - the secret / twist in the story of the MBA GANG, that oz will reveal in the penultimate chapter?
Please post your answers in the comment section of this post.
Last date of posting your answers is the second before I post the penultimate chapter - which could be tomorrow, day after, or perhaps in a week :)
All the best!!!

J is the dead man walking? The guy who held the account before the 3 M’s took over?
That’s the guess for now, I ll come up with more senarios…wait.
Damm, now i ll be up the whole night looking at the story from all the ‘wide angles’ to come up with the twist.
or… are they seriously going to rob the bank, kidnap the netas and parade them naked???

Oz, I’m in Sacramento, but damn I’ll fly or drive down to SoCal for the dinner. Alrighty, I think one of the four in the MBA Gang will betray the gang. And I think it will Atanu.

Damn you guys really have an imagination, I better write the next two chapters pretty quick.

Damm Rakesh, u had to come up with the betrayal too… fine, won’t plagiarize…
Another one, J is the over enthusiastic CBI officer who got screwed last time over and now he is with the trading groups in Tokyo or some other East - Asian city.

Me thinks that at the end the identity of J will be the biggest twist.See all the other characters have got maa-baap ka diwa hua decent names but this central character gets only one alphabet.Bahut nah insaafi,bahut nah insaafi.Oz bhai mera maano J ko ek laamba saa naam de do.Neha aur MK ka shaadi karwao.Atanu ko ek rasgulla ka dukan khulwado.And since someone has to die,Sumanth ko maar daalo.Waise bhi he was about to commit suicide.But before he dies make sure he kills all the villian’s thugs and has a full 15 minutes farewell speech.But since this is not a Bollywood thriller I know you will come up with the most un-predictable twist.Till then I will quench my thirst with a Smirnoff twist.

MKs wife and her political honcho dad ….umm?

Ah… all possible answers have already been taken :(
So i will go for long-shots… think out of the box :-?
Maybe J and Manohar are the same person?
Maybe the Yadav is a part of the CigarClub?
Maybe there will be an item number?
Will try to think up some more :)

I think J is the person who initially had the account in his name and then the 3Ms supposedly killed him, but he somehow escaped and is now back to seek revenge.

Early bird catches the worm - and the last bird gets bird poop. And I am pissed. Most of the good guesses have already been guessed.
Anyway, let me just list out all the possible twists, based on my *noir* and *pulp* know-how.
1. Trust no one! Because nothing’s ever what it seems - your friends could betray you, and dead people are not really dead, just because you/someone saw them dying.
2. Something always goes wrong.
3. Double, triple, quadraple passes.. I mean crosses (football season’s around the corner, folks)
4. The one who comes in during the first few minutes/chapters and then disappears (or dies) only to resurface (if not claimed dead) later as the proverbial friend in need during the major crisis - is always the bad wolf (in sheep’s clothing) and will be unmasked in the last few scenes - after which there usually is an elaborate climax with major blasts or a suicide where the bad one kills himself (which is again a setup if the author has plans for a sequel).
More later..

Osawa is gonna double cross the gang and run away with the loot.

Yadav tries to do a “Ranjeet” on Neha and suddenly discovers that she is not exactly Neha (crying game, anyone?) - immediately after that, MK kills Yadav and kills himself.
