BHOOTHNATH RETURNS !!!

After dying, a soul of a human being does not go to hell unless and until his/her desires get fulfilled or he/she is satisfied with his/her life or his/her last rites are performed correctly and rightly as per the traditional rituals of his/her respective religion. Bhoothnath’s desires got fulfilled and he started his journey towards the Bhooth World. All the ghosts are very happy in that Bhooth World. In the Headquarter of Bhooth World, the work culture is as slow as in any Indian Government sector office. To take a re-birth as a human being, Bhoothnath was given the Token No: 100001029. All the ghosts were laughing at Bhoothnath because as a ghost, Bhoothnath failed to frighten a little boy. The Chief of the Afterlife Department of the Bhooth World admitted that there were some technical faults and that’s why; Banku was able to see Bhoothnath. The Chief permitted Bhoothnath to go back to the world to prove himself as a scary ghost for the children. ‘Dekho bhai hamare Bhooth World mein teen cheezon ki bahut kami hain. Entertainment! Entertainment! Entertainment! Aur yeh Entertainment hain!’

‘Pehli baar koi bhooth bina janam liye Bhooth World se Prtihvi wapas jaa raha hain.’ Again there was a technical fault. Akhrot was able to see Bhoothnath. Akhrot and Bhoothnath became good friends. In India, trailer hit toh picture hit. Those boys got scared of Bhoothnath. The very next day, Akhrot became a Hero for them and they allowed the poor boy to play cricket with them. ‘Saala over-acting karta hain, par India mein chalta hain.’ Akhrot’s job was to act as a guide to the foreign tourists who like to see poor India and adult India. Though, people staying in Dharavi area are not Slumdogs but Bulldogs only. ‘Chal tere ko bhi dikhata hain.’ Akhrot took Bhoothnath to his area, the Dharavi slum area of Mumbai. ‘Yeh apun ka ilaaka full Bollywood ki Maa ka. Ek film ke ticket mein, sau(100) filmon ka mazaa. Romance kadak hain, fight ki bhi scene hain. Thakur shaqh ke ghere mein hain, Basanti ka pairh bhaari hain. Yahan Devdas ke teen show daily hain, Ram jaane Ganga kab se maili hain.’ Akhrot introduced Bhoothnath to his mother. Akhrot’s mother was scared of Bhoothnath. Bhoothnath wanted to help Akhrot in an honest way.

Due to the presence of the soul of Aatmaram in a newly constructed building of Rawat Builders, the project was not progressing further. The wife and the child of a dead engineer were getting harassed by an agent of Insurance Company. In India, it is still very difficult get insurance claims from any Insurance Company. Thanks to the callous rules and regulations of IRDA and Indian Government. Bhoothnath and Akhrot entered into the battlefield. ‘Arrey! Babu Aadmi hain. Har kaam mein waqt lagaata hain. Sudhar ne bhi tohda waqt lagaya ga na.’ The soul of Aatmaram felt satisfied as his wife got the Insurance Claim of his death. Rawat Builders gave some money to Akhrot as the construction works started again in that building where the soul of Aatmaram was no more. Slowly and steadily, with the help of Bhoothnath, Akhrot started doing the work of satisfying the souls of dead human beings who were blocking the construction process in several parts of Mumbai. Bhau, a mafia turned politician was looking for someone to start the construction process of a 300 crores INR project. Akhrot was offered 2 lakhs INR to start the construction process of that project.

Few years back, people of a slum area in Mumbai were murdered and their houses were burned as the promoters wanted to create a big residential complex on the lands of that slum area. The soul of the dead people of the slum area told everything in details to Bhoothnath. Akhrot denied the request of Bhau. Bhau was becoming very harmful for the poor and common people of Mumbai. Bhau has won all the previous three Lok Sabha Elections from Dharavi Constituency very easily as all the good candidates or people who dared to stand against him either got bribed or killed. Akhrot motivated Bhoothnath to contest the Lok Sabha Election of 2014 against Bhau from the Dharavi Constituency. ‘Kya soch raha hain tu?’ ‘Soch raha hoon apna desh ka kya hoga?’ ‘Jinko sochna chaiye tha woh soh raha hain beta, tu bhi soh jaa.’ As per Indian Constitution, any person of at least 25 years of age having a valid Voter ID card is eligible to become a candidate of Lok Sabha Election provided he/she is not having any mental problems and no criminal background. There are so many loopholes in the Indian Constitution. It is not mentioned anywhere that a person must be alive and can be seen physically. By bribing a doctor and a cop, one can easily get a medical and character certificate. At least, a candidate of Lok Sabha must be a college graduate.

Bhoothnath was still sceptical to file nomination in his name as a candidate of Dharavi constituency. Akhrot tried to make him understand again by saying, ‘Tu hain na, sirf apne baareme soch raha hain, desh ke baareme bhi toh soch. Dekh kya halat ho gaya hain desh ka.’ After staring at several newspapers hanging on the wires of a local newspaper shop, Bhoothnath realized that India has become a nation of Corruption, Scam, Rape, Child Labour, Poverty, Terrorism and Crime. As if the common people of India are singing a sad song out of frustration, ‘Sahib nazar rakhna, Maula nazar rakhna. Tera karam sabko mile, sabki fikar rakhna. Sab ko barabar baanth yeh dharti yeh aasmaan. Koi na ho dard mein, sabki khabar rakhna. Sahib nazar rakhna, Maula nazar rakhna.’ After getting the Medical Certificate and No Objection Certificate from the Police Department, Bhoothnath headed towards the Election Commission Office along with his lawyer, Gafdi and Akhrot. The Election Commission Officer, Shri Uday Lagoo accepted Bhoothnath’s nomination.

The Media Channels got a spicy story as a ghost became a candidate of Lok Sabha Election of 2014. Bhoothnath utilized the media channels and a writer too. ‘Hum hain King, hamare jaisa kaun hain. Rab hee toh hamare backbone hain. Party toh baanti hain.’ But, Bhau Saheb was smarter than Bhoothnath to allege that Bhoothnath is misusing his own powers. Bhoothnath gave all his ghostly powers. Bhau’s diplomacy went in favour of Bhau. In India, to get a death certificate also, you have to bribe the concerned officer. What a strange nation India is indeed! Banku’s dad, Aditya gave important information to Bhoothnath. ’Kabhi kabhi burai ka anth khud burai kar dalti hain.’Bhoothnath implemented the non co-operation movement to those Indians who are yet to have a Voter ID Card. Without a Voter ID Card, and Indian has no identity at all as if he/she is a ghost for the nation. On the Voting day, some people regard it as a picnic day by skipping the polling booth and going for a family picnic. Every Indian must cast their valuable vote. Who ordered his men to attack Akhrot? What deal was made between Bhoothnath and the Chief of the Bhooth World? After the results of the Lok Sabha Election of 2014, why the people of the Dharavi Constituency celebrated by shouting proudly with joy, “BHOOTHNATH RETURNS”?
