Dosa Hut Epic - Vol 2

The Middle Days - Slight return -1

He could smell the perspiration sprouting out of his body. He suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to piss in his pants. He wondered when was the last time he pissed in his pants but his mind failed to guide him properly to his illustrious past... or atleast he felt so. The fear was becoming almost too hard to handle now. And the sudden flight of the file across the room zooming just inches away from his ear and out ofthe 83rd floor into the corporate oblivion of the Chicago maze did'nt help his fear at all. He was the Democratic senator and look at himself, fully exposed to the murderous wrath of Raghu, a stupid Indian who owned some dosa restaurants...

But that is where the power lay...like it or not. Raghu just made it clear that if there was anymore attempts by the government to prevent the hostile takeover launched by Dosa Hut Inc. on Microsoft, the senator can start counting the flowers on his grave. After the first bid was putto a grinding halt by the government when reports suggested that the Dosa Hut supremo Vasanth actually planned to convert the Microsoft Seattle facility into a giant Marijuana processing plant, Raghu had carefully singled out powerful senators and ordered them to meet in the Chicago hideout and put forth in clear terms, how he wanted the next bid to be handled...he asked the government to mind its fukcing business.

As Vasanth and Raghu became more and more popular, their haunts started influencing the market considerably...News headlines like this on theWall Street Journal, The Washington Post or the Daily Mirror was quite common..."Dosa Hut chief refuses to play golf with the US president...NYSE tumbles 658 points", "Dosa industry barons buy out thePrime Minister's stake in all the football clubs, the PM retires tobecome a Buddhist monk in Tibet", "Tech stocks tumble as Dosa Hut decides to buy all the taxis running in NY roads" (wondering what connection? there ain't any...there are no reasons for stocks totumble...they'll tumble when they feel like it)...it could be like this too..."Dosa industry moghuls Vasanth and Raghu have reportedly not touched beer for 2 days...Heinekken and Budwizer file for bankruptcy". You never know...

Big people, big controversies...and it never left Vasanth and Raghualone. One fine Autumn morning, the New York Post screamed thus:"Argentinian model Lorenza Lopez claims that the Dosa Hut supremo Vasanth is the father of her 3 year old daughter". Industry circles were shocked out of their wits. The Dosa Hut big two were in Morocco trying to bail out the Moroccan king who'd gotten himself caught for some drug shipping charges in the Meditteranean. Apparently, they'd lost two big containers of coke and acid in it...The Dosa Hut lawyers went bonker sover the news...What would it mean? What if she presses for child rearing charges? Men were despatched to Buenos Aires immediately but they came back with no comforting news. She will press for child rearing charges till the child reaches 18 years of age and she was looking at something in the region of a billion dollars a year.

As an immediate reaction, they released a press report in their Los Angeles stronghold. The NY Times was on the streets bellowing "Dosa hut chief vehemently denies having had anything to do with Lorenza Lopez's child. He was indeed in Sweden opening an AIDS research lab at the time when Ms Lopez claims to have had a relationship with Vasanth three years ago". This move proved to be a major miscalculation on Dosa Hut's part because, Lorenza Lopez, with a calculated calm, challanged Vasanth for a genetic test to prove his claim. The lawyers actually thought their supremo was in Sweden and decided to accept the challange in court and also lined up a defamation suit if the charge fails.

Then came the lightening from the sky...
