THE MBA GANG : Paperback and eBook
The MBA Gang is coming next week out in print to order and eBook for Download editions.
I would first like to thank the first members of Desitrain’s Inner Circle - those who encouraged me to go ahead and write fiction - however shitty it may have been. Neha Kamath, Shuchita Nayak, Pundalik Dhuri, Chandni Malik, Neha, Vi, Manoj Mhapankar, beeonthebrow, Ranga (WB), Cliff Letterman and many others who kicked my bottom to get on with it. The result is more than 6 fiction stories since The MBA Gang.
Thanks to Trasie Stittsworth, from Hollywood, for being a constant support and source of encouragement. None of this would have been possible without her constant motivational speeches.
Thanks to Trasie too, for quickly running through proofing the novel, though she is tearing her hair, wishing she had more time and banning me from looking over her shoulder on her computer screen on which she feverishly edited THE MBA GANG… Any faults in the book are mine and I apologize to all of you in advance.
Thanks to Deepak Swaminathan a.k.a. DPac for taking up the challenge to design the cover at such a short notice and being patient with me and my Hitlerian view of “perfection”.
And above all to you, dear readers of Desi Train. Thank You for believing in me. If it was in our destiny to meet, then we have, through these pages on Desi Train.
Please do spend you hard earned dollars to buy a copy - print or a download. And if you have a website or a blog please do put up a banner for the MBA Gang advertisement. - that I’ll put up in a day or two… I’ll also be providing Click Thru features (if you are a member of Click thru or such commission sites) whereby you will get a percentage from books sold through your site.
Following is a work in progress cover design. The final cover may be in red. Click image for actual size.

can’t wait to buy the paper back version, so that i can chuck out the much thumbed dog eared word doc copy currently i have.
dpac did a fantastic job - in spite of his upcoming interview he was up for the challenge - bechara, uss ko pata nahin tha ki .. oz ko kush karna mushkil hi nahin namumkin hai. the end result, as striker said, looks like a curious mix of dch and reservoir dogs.
