Utopian World



Can a girl, alone, late at night ask for help from a group of boys ? It doesn’t seem to be safe in practical life.
This issue of physical safety of women has been highlighted in ‘Going Home’, a short film directed by Vikas Bahl, produced by Phantom Productions, featuring Alia Bhatt for #VogueEmpower. 

The film shows a young girl, driving home, alone late at night on a lonely road. Suddenly her car breaks down and she is left stranded with no help in sight. She comes over a car full of men who are smoking and staring at her. Without a second thought she asks them for help. Rowdy look and cunning smile on the faces of men reveals that they are up to something.
The Director has beautifully presented a completely different side of a story in merely five-minute film which surprises us. A utopia is visualised where women safety is not an issue, a world for which we females yearn for.

The film has power to make us think and act. It pushes our face in mirror wall of introspection and provokes us to think, ‘Can we turn this world into a safe place for women where mistrust and fear do not dictate their actions and they feel free to ask anyone for help?’

An ode to millennials; Fizzy Goblet was founded in 2014 by Laksheeta Govil. Since then it has managed to revive the beautiful silhouette of traditional Juttis and fashionable Kolhas, and give it a complete modern look. Recently, Fizzy Goblet opened their flagship store in Delhi on October 4 th 2019 at DLF Promenade in Vasant Kunj.  “ Delhi always struck a chord in my heart and influenced my design sensibilities, which is why I am thrilled to bring Fizzy Goblet to the city especially around this time of the year. ” Said Laksheeta. Other than their drop-dead gorgeous collection, what caught my attention were the ‘Invitation cards’ for the launch.

Culture, a marketing tool

Image
While watching a video on you tube, I came across an advertisement of Samsung Inverter Refrigerator. Being a student, refrigerator as a product didn’t grabbed my eyeballs. But still the advertisement worked its magic on me and I liked it, because of the cultural values it displayed. A beautiful mother daughter relationship was shown where mother still takes care of her working daughter like a child and daughter reciprocates it. It stated that nothing should come between the happy moments and the way mother takes care of her daughter, the same way refrigerator will take care of her mother. With increasing competition and growth of advertising sector, many companies have resorted to a common trend of using culture and our value system as a marketing tool. Consumption decisions made in the market cannot be viewed as an independent event- it is closely related with values and social relationship and cultural allegiance. Therefore, companies portray the culture of country, in ...
