HouseFull to Launch its First Digital Campaign ‘No Rok Tok’
*Housefull.com, India’s premier furniture and furnishings destination* to launch its first - *Digital Campaign *- *‘No Rok Tok’*, highlighting a magnificent range of durable furniture pieces with unique colours, design combinations and utility driven shapes to fit within traditional and modern houses. The *Digital Campaign* will be launched across the country on 12^th August, 2016.The digital campaign is conceptualized by *Lowe Lintas* and directed by *Shayondeep Pal*. The film revolves around the unique concept of No Rok Tok. Traditionally, every one of us faced restrictions over the way we used our furniture, fearing breakage or damage. But HouseFull furniture being sturdy and durable, gives us the liberty to use it without unnecessary limitations.
“Lowe Lintas has done a great job in conceptualizing this campaign, which clearly conveys our strength to the consumers. It’s a different and unique take on the whole idea of furniture. It just doesn’t talk about design but also focusses on one of the most important factors that the Indian consumer considers while buying furniture - Durability. This is our very first digital campaign and we are excited about it.”, says *Akshay Chaturvedi, CEO, Housefull.com.*
The film opens with a small kid jumping and dancing on the bed with joy, when suddenly his mother walks in to his room. As soon as the kid sees his mother, he freezes in the fear of being scolded for dancing on the bed. However, the mother smiles and asks, why he hasn’t switched on the music, thereby highlighting the idea that in a house furnished by HouseFull’s durable furniture, there is No Rok Tok.
“Though the Indian consumer is warming up to the idea of buying furniture online, they still remain concerned about the durability of the furniture bought online. HouseFull wanted to address this concern and I feel the campaign No Rok Tok furniture is a beautiful expression of the same. This is our first ever chance to showcase our stylish, yet durable range of furniture and we wanted to make a digital film because that’s the media that our consumers are consuming. We are pleased to have Lowe Lintas as our partners; they have done a great job on this campaign.”, says *Sana Ahsan, Brand Manager, Housefull.com.*
Their exquisite furniture collection includes a vast variety of stylish pieces such as *Sofa Sets, Dining Tables, Bedroom Sets, *and *Wardrobes* to furniture accessories such as *Shoe Cabinets, Book Cases, Bean Bags *and *Furnishings*.

We need less vision and more competence from political and business leaders
The things that people don’t know. Brexit, for example. “Brexit means Brexit”, I get it, but a bit more detail would be great. When will we leave the EU, for example? The date keeps shifting every time I check. Do we have a workable trade deal in mind? Boris Johnson apparently saw a “bright future” in the Canadian model, but that now appears unworkable. And how much will the whole thing cost?
Then there is Donald Trump. The job he is after requires a fairly solid grasp of geopolitics – and yet he apparently did not know about the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Trump’s national campaign spokesman Katrina Pierson – an example of ineptitude so grotesque that The Atlantic’s Derek Thompson opined that it was “journalistic and civic malpractice” to allow her on TV – stated live on CNN that President Obama started the Afghan war.
How uninvolved and generally uninterested does someone have to be not to know these two facts? When George W Bush invaded Afghanistan in 2001, it was front-page news in the local newspaper of the French village of Champagne-sur-Seine where I lived at the time. In March 2014, when Russian troops invaded Ukraine, I saw images of explosions, gun fire and desolate Ukrainian villages on every TV screen in every country that I travelled to. How could Trump and Pierson not have noticed? More importantly, how did they manage to get away with such staggering ignorance for so long? Who advises them? And who votes for them?
*Read more*: It’s too easy to get away with an exaggerated CV
Two more blatantly incompetent statements over the past week came, bizarrely, from Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York, and Newt Gingrich, the former speaker of the US House of Representatives. Giuliani said that there had been no successful radical Islamist attack on US territory before Obama entered the White House and Gingrich did not know the latest US crime statistics. When caught out on CNN, Gingrich responded that he cared more about what “the American people felt”, rather than the facts.
The other day I came across a speech by environment and rural affairs secretary Andrea Leadsom on UK farming. It contained some impressive recommendations. Notably, Leadsom thought that the farmers with “big fields” should “do the sheep”, whereas those with “hill farms” should “do the butterflies”. Someone on Twitter promptly commented that the “sophistication of the analysis” was “humbling”. I agree.
*Read more*: From Brexit to Trump, the elites have lost control over politics
Unlike Trump and Leadsom, Giuliani and Gingrich are seasoned politicians, so this carelessness, talking on impulse and disregard for facts smack of some cheap post-Trump relativism, when anything you say goes, no matter how uninformed or downright crazy, as long as you deliver it with sufficient aplomb and provoke a strong reaction.
I see this lack of rigour in the business world too. A couple of years ago, I clambered for a ticket to hear the world’s leading light in organisational sciences talk about her new book. I came an hour in advance, looking forward to learning great things. Forty or so minutes into the talk, I was still waiting for that singular piece of wisdom. It never came. The speaker’s most important message was that one should expand one’s network. She wrote a book about this, went to speak on every conceivable TV and radio show, wrote an article for the Harvard Business Review. Just like Trump, she spoke with charisma, but if I wanted just the charisma, I would have gone to a Will.i.am concert instead.
Most would agree that, in a leader, vision is more important than technical knowledge. But there are degrees. Not knowing how things work is not about vision. It’s basic incompetence. People like that do not deserve a hearing. Reported by City A.M. 2 hours ago.

The Night Of Burning Questions: Freddy Makes a Gruesome, Game-Changing Move
Here are the other lingering questions we're left with after Episode 7: Is a serial killer on the loose? [...] Chandra doesn't let up - she posits the theory that Box removed the inhaler from the crime scene, going against department protocol and his 30-plus years of experience working crime scenes, because it didn't jell with the "crazed killer" picture he was trying to paint. Box is clearly blindsided on the witness stand when Chandra brings up Duane Reade and the hearse driver. The investigator Stone hired to photograph the crime scene reveals at the trial that there's a missing knife from the set at Andrea's house. Granted, this could all be totally irrelevant, as Helen (Jeannie Berlin) basically destroys him on cross-examination and implies that the knife probably just went missing in a totally innocuous way, but it's interesting information to file away regardless. Stone's Chinese miracle worker tells him that there's no magical powder to get rid of his asthma - the only cure is to get rid of his new feline friend. -Round of applause for Amara Karan, who was the MVP of this episode as Chandra, who's incredibly poised in the courtroom and steps up to the challenge of cross-examining tough witnesses.

Trumpland
George Saunders’s article on Donald Trump’s supporters was written in an unusual style for the magazine: fragmented, colloquial, and, at times, rambling and chaotic—a perfect representation of Trump’s fans (“Trump Days,” July 11th & 18th). This election has brought “aspiration” to the forefront of political choice. The left hopes that, by electing Clinton, the ongoing experiment called America will continue to be aspirational for other nations; Trump supporters, on the other hand, seem to aspire to be more like Trump. This constitutes aspiring to a superficial candor and to wealth that is underpinned by tasteless gluttony, and summarized perfectly by one supporter: “I love that everything in Trump’s house is gold.” Let us remember that King Midas was his own undoing.

Gender Studies
Nell and Henry always said that they would wait until marriage was legal for everyone in America, and now this is the case—it’s August, 2015—but earlier in the week Henry eloped with his graduate student Bridget. Bridget is twenty-three, moderately but not dramatically attractive (one of the few non-stereotypical aspects of the situation, Nell thinks, is Bridget’s lack of dramatic attractiveness), and Henry and Bridget had been dating for six months. They began having an affair last winter, when Henry and Nell were still together, then in April Henry moved out of the house that he and Nell own and directly into Bridget’s apartment. Nell and Henry had been a couple for eleven years.
