Have you thought of covering up the ball right until the point of delivery?
you are joking honestly.

I think that the doosra is actually bowling from the back of the hand, which is pretty similar to a googly except that the wrist is turned in the opposite direction. It's also pretty hard to bowl a doosra with a straight elbow.
hari got it right.to bowl doosra you need to release it from back of hand.
the problem and the reason only two people bowl it is power.
If u try to bowl from back of hand, u can't use shoulders to produce power.hence bowlers have to bend there arm to generate sufficient force to enable it to reach the batsmen.and this is the root of problems.
However, I don't think anyone in your community will be watching u.
So here's how u do it.
first of all, u need finger control.
try moving (any) of your finger to base of thumb(the little mountain) and press the third joint (counting from base) with your thumb.
then try to straighten your other three fingers, if u can do it you are more than ready.
Remember that your little finger is necessary to bowl it.
When u try to ball it, remember that your palm should face skywards and fingers open towards slips and after a little experience towards 2nd slip.
The power and spin is determined how quickly open you fingers.while direction is determined by the little finger.
And when u initially bowl it, u will generally get nice amount of pain in your fingers and wrists, because it puts a lot of tension on them.
Anyway, good luck doing it!!
