Extended... by 10 Days

Srichand Arora becomes a suspect for PK-12

Why is it getting so difficult to recognize this person below-left? Ten days have gone by and only a dozen-odd members have made an attempt to identify this ‘mystery man’ of Pehchaan Kaun-12 (ref post of April 26). Unfortunately, most of their entries are way, way off the mark. In the circumstances, we are left with little option other than to extend the deadline by another 10 days.

Mystery Man of PK-12

The results of this contest shall be declared on May 16, 2015 – a Saturday.
This is the first time in the 12 editions of Pehchaan Kaun that so much time is being given to put a name to a mug shot. It is possible that over-thinking and the anxiety to play safe have added to the all-round confusion. Or could it be (as Jagmohan Papneja put it) that with more members and effectively, more faces to deal with, things have got tough this time? Either way, some more time to study the photograph should perhaps help.

So now, you have time to revise the name on your entry -- any number of times, but as always, the last one will count. On our part, the entries received so far have now been published against the post of April 26 – if that should facilitate matters.

Mallika Kagzi treats us to tea

Briefly, the responses appear overwhelmingly in favour of Yusuf Rassiwala with as many as 6 out of 13 entries pitching for him. The other suspects are Kiran Prakash, Mohar Singh, Sitaram Hivarkar, Jagmohan Papneja, Ved Prakash Grover and Dilip Babani. Significantly, nobody has yet done an ankle check for the tell-tale scar, even as Kiran Prakash has been trying relentlessly to lure the males of the Club with free pedicure in the Garden. This has only raised Nahid Khan’s suspicion -- more so, when Kiran Prakash refused to oblige her by taking off his shoes today – thus leaving Santosh Tyagi, a silent observer till then, utterly confused. Equally confused, Mallika Kagzi had the last word as always: “Why get into so much magaj-mari early in the morning? I am prepared to pay. Or tell me exactly where you get the toffee (sic) from!”
