One for all! All for one! - The Three musketeers

-

In this post, I will be blogging on a book which has one of the most gripping plots ever, "The Three Musketeers".

Written by Alexandre Dumas, the main story arc concerns a young man named d' Artagnan who arrives at Paris, to join the King's musketeers(highly ranked soldiers). In Paris, he meets the three musketeers, Athos, Porthos and Aramis and they become friends. Together they go on missions to save France from enemies and protect themselves from wily spies as well. The musketeer's phrase 'One for all, All for one' is eternal. An other famous story written by Dumas is "The Count Of Monte Cristo", which is a personal favourite of mine.😎

The Three Musketeers captures medieval France and England in the 1700's. I could understand the political situation in those times; how small arguments can transform into fights between countries! We can also see how weak monarchs are taken over by lower officials. In this book, the prime minister has full control over the country and the King is afraid of him as well.

A reason why I am head over heels in love with this book is because of it's enthralling plot and breathtaking description. The sword fights have been so vividly described that the visual image in my mind is very realistic. There are also areas where it becomes very dramatic. I could never guess what came in next.😌😂

My favourite character in this book is Athos. He is the oldest and wisest of the musketeers. I like him because of his sangfroid attitude. He has saved d' Artagnan from tricky situations as well.

I would strongly recommend you to read this book as it is very entertaining. I would recommend you to read the Count of Monte Cristo as well.😃

Dear all, it is with immense ple a sure I am writing this as it is my 50th blog !! I have been able to cross the Golden Jubilee after exactly seven months and ten days and it has been an incredible journey. I was first introduced to blogging and the world of blogs on 4th May 2018, by my dear father . Making me write blogs was on his radar for a long time as he thought it would help me improve my English writing skills, my observation skills and most of all, helping me organize and structure tasks. When I  started blogging, I would make many errors and my father would diligently and lovingly correct them. But now, I am happy to say that though I make errors while writing, I manage to fix most of them by myself. If you have ever wondered at any point what happens behind the scenes to make my blog, then here you are: 1. Deciding on a topic: Unlike other bloggers, I write about varied topics and deciding a subject is very crucial. I mostly follow a structured order of topics

Our world is being rampaged by the coronavirus(Covid-19) and new personal and social norms have been created in order to prevent the spread of the virus. As we are unsure whether if the virus will be eradicated or the fact that it may continue to remain on earth, we have to equip ourselves for the future in order to be able to live with it. In this blog which is the first of a duology, I will be looking at 3 normal features that we were accustomed to before the spread of the virus and how these features will be reshaped and remodeled in the future. I will also be giving my predictions on what we can expect from these changes in the future. 3 features of the ' Old Normal ' and how they will be modified for the ' New Normal '. 1. Wearing A Mask In Public Prior to the Covid-19 spread, it was not at all necessary to wear a mask in the public. Moreover, people who were sick were only encouraged to wear it. However, it is now made mandatory for everyone to wear a

Why Marketing Is So Crucial For Firms

Why Do Firms Need Marketing? Marketing is for firms what breath is for humans. Generally speaking, the 3 main reasons why entrepreneurs say the reason their company faced heavy losses is because it was either undercapitalized, employed the wrong people or the market conditions were bad. However, I would like to add a fourth point here which is poor marketing. Not only does effective and good marketing help a company sell its product thereby generating revenue, it also helps build indirect customer and business relationships and helps the company gain widespread fame and an increased customer base.  Types of Marketing : 1. Print Advertisements 2. Word of Mouth 3. Radio and Television Advertisements 4. Social Media Advertisements 5. Cause Marketing - Marketing that involves messages about social causes and activist messages 6. Relationship Marketing - Marketing campaigns that stress customer satisfaction more than sales transactions. The Advent of Digital Media Marketing Prior to the bir
