Chetan Bhagat And His Market

Hello Friends,  This blog is my response to the assignment assigned to us by our Prof. Dr.DilipSir for MA Semester 3 in Paper of Cultural Studies and my topic is Chetan Bhagat and his market. So, read, understand and enjoy. Happy Learning! Five things about Product Marketing you can learn from Chetan Bhagat As a product marketer specialising in content, I’ve always found it irksome to explain to people just how difficult my craft is, and how much time it takes to do it well. Building a brand isn’t easy; it takes a lot of effort, planning, strategy & execution, and involves as much editing out as it involved creating more. And even then, one misplaced word or misguided blog post can turn around and bite you. But there is one gentleman (or a brand, however you choose to see him) who has consistently been so good at product marketing, that it would be a shame not to try to learn from him. Chetan Bhagat has been so good at selling books that several of our more established, critically

Kuleshov Effect & Film Studies

Hello Friends,  This blog is my response to the assignment assigned to us by our Prof. Dr.DilipSir for MA Semester 3 in Paper Contemporary Western Theories and Film Studies and my topic is of Kuleshov Effect in Film Studies. So, read, understand and enjoy. Happy Learning! Kuleshov Effect: Everything You Need to Know The Kuleshov effect is the idea that two shots in a sequence are more impactful than a single shot by itself. This effect is a cognitive event that allows viewers to derive meaning from the interaction of two shots in sequence. Kuleshov believed that the interaction of shots in filmmaking was what differentiated cinema from photography, as photographs are single shots in isolation that don’t allow viewers to derive the same meaning. What Filmmakers Can Learn From the Kuleshov Effect?

Poem Lakshman by Toru Dutt

Hello Friends,  This blog is my response to the assignment assigned to us by our Prof. Dr.DilipSir for Semester 3 in subject Indian English Literature Pre Independence and my topic is the poem Lakshman by Indian lady writer Toru Dutt. So, read, understand and enjoy. Happy Learning! Click here to view the entire poem "But then thy leader stood beside! Dazzles the cloud when shines the sun, Reft of his radiance, see it glide A shapeless mass of vapours dun; So of thy courage,—or if not, The matter is far darker dyed, What makes thee loth to leave this spot? Is there a motive thou wouldst hide?" "Lakshman" This quote is significant because it reflects Dutt's impulse to open up and expand on old legends, as well as her interest in adding personal dimensions to these tales that increase their verisimilitude.
