Objective : To become a phantom by taking active participation in college politics and the random dhishoom – dhishoom moments .

Requirements : A college (obviously) , an incident to account for your entrance in the main arena , few experienced phantoms , DC (Disciplinary Committee) 

Theory : If nothing new is happening in your life and you feel an acute need to get into the limelight , the simplest way is to be a part of the dark side of the things . And doing so , you can make an entrance into the mainstage college politics . 

Once you enter this field , you can proudly give yourself the title of “Phantom” .

According to Magical Me , a “Phantom” can be described as a “person who can be expected to be involved in any out-of-the-routine activity taking place in your proximity and have a high probability of having his name on any of the suspension letter that’s generated by the management” .

Entering this field is far more easier than surviving here . Once you are in , you get yourself the attention of other Phantoms those already exist there . Here , every Phantom is alone . You got to make your best efforts to peek your nose in all the matters , fights and even the smallest of the quarrels taking place . Once you are successful in creating an issue out of no-issue and then being responsible for arranging the compromise between the two parties  , you can proudly call yourself a “Phantom”.

During the period of recession , when everything is going as per schedule and nothing exciting is in the air , a phantom always stays focussed and tries to be in the news through miscellaneous activities ( eg. banging others on the pretext of not liking their attitude , giving threats to every second person that comes their way , etc )

Properties Of A Phantom

• A phantom always acts as a Godfather for the upcoming Phantoms .
• Once a Phantom is ready to take action , he takes part in the continous struggle to be Phantom No.1 and in the process , forgets his Godfather .
• A phantom always appreciates if someone approaches him for help ( not in studies , ofcourse )
• If you are a phantom , you need to have a bike (on which you can fly)
• Phantoms are rarely seen in the college premises .
• Dhabas = Phantom’s Adda
• Phantoms rarely reside in hostel . They have their own secret den somewhere in the city .
• Whenever a DC is set on a phantom , it is a matter of Pride . Though he makes the best of efforts to escape unsusepnded , by accumulating all the possible sources available .
• A phantom is a phantom’s biggest enemy . 
• Two phantoms having a common foe are the best of friends .

Result : A phantom continues to dominate the political scene until and unless some other phantom forces him to step back .

Precautions : Phantoms are non volatile and can be highly inflammable on disturbing . Maintain extra care while approaching .

I chose to watch Gulaal over 13B this weekend and I don’t regret even a single bit for that . The movie was fantastic and Anurag Kashyap more than succeeded in portraying what he wanted to . If you hold an interest in the classic politics , then this is a movie you would love to watch again and again .

Disclaimer :  Spoilers Ahead

———————————————————————————————————————————————————

The movie starts with Dilip Kumar Singh (Raj Singh Choudhary , the protagonist of the story) being taken to a place , wearing black clothes and with red gulaal all over his face , where Dukey Bana (Kay Kay) is delivering a fiery speech in an attempt to lit the patriotic flame in the heart of every Rajput for regaining the Rajputana . The start itself leaves a big impact on the audience . Kay Kay is at his best . His character , Dukey Bana , is the senapati of the Rajputs , who is trying to gather all the resources to initiate a revolution against the system .

Dilip comes from Bikaner to study law , not knowing that he will be engulfed by the political storm that existed there . He stays with Rananjay (played by Abhimanyu Singh) , who took birth in a royal family but refuses to lead the life of Your-Highness .

Dilip and Rananjay were introduced to Dukey Bana by Bhati (Deepak Dobriyal) , Bana’s most trusted man , when they decided to avenge the ragging of Dilip . Dukey convinces Ransa to fight the college elections . Ransa was murdered and the circumstances saw Dilip standing as a nominee for the post of General Secretary .

Dukey Bana resorted to unfair means and Dilip won the elections over Kiran (debut performance by Ayesha Mohan) . Kiran uses her innocent face to trap Dilip in her false love and drains him off all his emotions to the extent that Dilip refuses to beleive anyone when told about the real face of Kiran .

The master mind behind all the moves is Karan (played by Aditya Srivastav) , Kiran’s elder brother . He is Ransa’s step brother and is fighting for his father’s name . He planned everything , from Ransa’s mother to Dukey Bana’s murder from Dilip’s hand , in order to get the tag of “Rajput” and aspires to take the position of Dukey Bana . With the death of Dukey Bana , the power of Senapati is transferred to Karan . And thus , the madness which ended with Dukey Bana , will now be carried forward by Karan .

———————————————————————————————————————————————————

The songs of the movie are awesome with very meaningful Lyrics . Piyush Mishra ( who brilliantly played the role of Prithvi Bana , Dukey’s elder brother) , has written the lyrics . composed the music and has playbacked a few songs as well .  The Prithvi version of  Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna and Yeh Duniya agar mil bhi jaaye to kya hai points out the theme of the story , that how worthless was the revolution and the demand to establish Rajputana , at the cost of lives of a number of people . Still , there are  few lines such as Jaise dur desh ke tower me ghush gaya re aeroplane which can hurt few people .

Everyone has done a justice to his character . Kay Kay is brilliant as ever . Abhimanyu Singh did justice to his character , creating humor at many places . Raj Singh Choudhary has successfully portrayed an innocent boy who suffers the brainwash during ragging , and then unknowingly gets involved in the dirty politics of love , power and revolution , finally leading to his death .

We all know what happened in Mumbai a few days back ….. the terror attack …. destruction caused …. loss of lives …… All of us are angry over this incident and are echoing a single voice to wipe down terrorism from the face of the planet ….. and to ensure the measures so that nothing of this sort happens again…..

Everybody is awake now ….. everyone wants to participate in some sort in the fight against terror ….. “The Rebuild India Mission” is one such step that we all need to participate in …… What this mission is all about???…….. Have a look…..

Late in the evening on the 26th of November, things seemed normal and peaceful. We all were busy with our night duty (read blogging) when all off a sudden the nation landed in dire straits. Some unknown intruders had penetrated our national territory with a motive of causing mass destruction. By the beginning of the next day, they had managed to do that and much more. Indians worldwide were left with only one thought – “enough is enough”. In the aftermath, the nation was left shattered, wounded and demoralized. We knew we had to build it all up again. We knew we had to initiate the ‘Rebuild India’ Mission – and that’s how it all started.

Step 1
Armed with a very small group of bloggers but ones with huge levels of motivation, we initiated a movement to publicize the voice of the citizen. Bloggers simply wanted to scream out their frustrations. We said we would provide them with a punching bag. Some were up with suggestions based on where things were going wrong and wanting their ideas to be heard. We said we would provide them the stage and the microphone. Gradually everyone starting from key business personalities to socialists were raising their voice. The gap between the elite and the ‘Aam Aadmi’ was erased and that’s how the ‘Rebuild India’ Article Repository was formed.

Step 2
With a huge content base in hand, we were contemplating our options when suddenly it occurred to us that these were the suggestions of bloggers. We needed the general citizens to approve these suggestions, for even a master plan fails without consensus. We got back to the drawing board and came up with a plan to separate the grain out of the chaff for public approval/disapproval.

That’s how the ‘Rebuild India’ Online Survey got going and this is where we are at the moment. At the end, we expect a full-proof case of stats and figures on how we rebuild the nation.

Step 3
This is where the game begins, as this is where everyone gets involved. We alone won’t decide what to do next, it’s the bloggers of the IndiBlogger network who need to guide and support us. In fact, you guys need to carry forward the rebuilding process, and we assure you that it’s not a small responsibility. It’s a responsibility of providing hope to over a billion Indians citizens and many more residing across shores. Tell us what to do and we would be all ears. Raise your hands in support and join us.

Let’s get together and make a difference! Let’s get together and rebuild the nation!
