Bollywood 101: The Raj Kapoor Family Tree | MissMalini

Raj Kapoor Family Tree

Raj Kapoor Family Tree

As I was blogging about Ritu Nanda?sNew Year?s Eve party it occurred to me that a family flow chart might help clarify this complicated lineage! I?m guessing you knew most of these connections but I found a few particularly intriguing. Like for instance I didn?t ?realise Shweta Bachchan Nanda?was connected to the Kapoor family by marriage. Especially since the massive fallout between the Kapoor and Bachchan?s over Karisma Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan?s broken engagement must have made extended Kapoor family?occasions?a little weird, no?

Amazing how much Karisma resembles her mom Babita Kapoor,?especially that smile!?I also noticed that Samaira Kapoor has light eyes! Are we thinking next generation Bollywood perhaps? Aadar & Armaan Kapoor are growing up fast and I?m guessing the Kapoor clan will continue it?s filmy pursuits for generations to come.

PS. Raj Kapoor?s two brothers Shammi Kapoor and Shashi Kapoor were also big in Bollywood, I thought Rajiv Kapoor (Raj?s youngest son) looked so much like Sammi that I initially had them confused until I realised this was good ol Chimpoo! *lol*

Cute how Riddhima Sahni and Karisma Kapoor named their daughters Samara and Samiara isn?t it? I wonder if that was planned?

Any other interesting observations that come to mind? Leave me a comment below!

Psst! There?s more on the family tree extensions here on Wikipedia.

Don't Underestimate the Power of ?Old School? Direct Mail | Smart ...

You are here: Home / Creative / Don?t Underestimate the Power of ?Old School? Direct Mail





Social media and web marketing have pushed direct mail to the back burner for some marketers, but a classic direct mail package, using all the tactics and techniques that have been tested for generations, can still be a powerful marketing tool.

Here?s why ?old school? direct marketing still packs a punch ? and some tips for using it in your smart marketing strategy.

Elements of a Classic Direct Mail Package

I began my marketing career as a copywriter at a marketing agency in Washington, DC that specialized in direct mail. I learned from a master (the great Dorothy Kerr) how to craft a classic direct mail package. Here?s what a package typically contains:

  • A carrier envelope carefully designed to stand out in the mailbox and engage the reader with teaser copy or design;
  • A letter that uses techniques like handwritten notes in the margin or underscored text to help the reader grasp the key points at a glance;
  • A second, shorter letter with a second call to action, called a ?lift letter? because it can lift response;
  • A descriptive brochure or insert, usually not personalized;
  • A personalized response form;
  • A business reply envelope.

Classic direct mail has a great offer, a deal so good the reader can?t resist saying yes, like a free trial, bonus gift, special discount, or a volume deal on the product (such as two for one or 15 months for the price of twelve). And classic direct mail is packed with benefits copy?all the ways the reader will benefit by saying yes to the offer.

A Case in Point: Mayo Clinic Health Letter

Smart direct marketers know there are many proven ways to engage the recipient in a direct mail package and generate a response.

A recent newsletter subscription package from the Mayo Clinic Health Letter is an ideal example of ?old school? direct mail tactics that still work.

The offer is a trial issue plus a free report on arthritis. Here are some of the techniques the Mayo Clinic deployed in this mailing:

  • A huge carrier envelope, 9.5? x 14,? using uncoated stock printed brown to look like a business mailing, a white area with rounded corners to look like an adhesive address label, and an indicia designed to look like metered postage (it even has the zigzag edge of old metered paper postage);
  • A envelope teaser in handwriting font: ?Please favor us with a reply within 10 days;?
  • An eight-page letter (yes, eight pages) on white, lined notebook paper with a personalized Johnson Box (a message above the salutation), text in typewriter font, ?over, please? copy at the bottom of each page to keep the reader going, and a double P.S. with a final, personalized call to action;
  • An insert that touts the credibility of the Mayo Clinic, economically produced in two colors;
  • A lift letter with testimonials from readers;
  • A reply form with an engagement device (peel-off stickers for the bonus offer), certificate-style framing to look official, a prominent money-back guarantee boxed in a certificate-style graphic with the word ?guarantee? in all caps and half-inch-high letters, and tried-and-true trial offer text: ?Send no money now. This is a trial offer!?
  • A bright yellow BRE with a personalized corner card from the mail recipient and a classic message to the mail room about the enclosed response: ?MAIL ROOM: SEND FREE GIFT RIGHT AWAY.?

The package repeats the offer no less than eight times. The letter copy piles on the benefits of subscribing. It?s all about the reader ? and it works like dynamite.

Why Old School Techniques ? and Direct Mail ? Still Work

The Mayo Clinic Health Letter package doesn?t just make me nostalgic for my early days in marketing. It also serves as a reminder that the proven principles of direct mail are still true today:

  • Copy focused on the interests of the reader and the benefits of the product is still the most effective message to produce sales;
  • A great offer, well-stated and prominently, repeatedly promoted, can still make people say yes;
  • Creative approaches and engagement techniques that have stood the test of time still work.

Granted, the target market for the Mayo Clinic mailing is an older demographic perhaps less accustomed to email and social media marketing. But even industries targeting very young audiences ? such as colleges and universities recruiting students ? rely heavily on direct marketing and use many of the same tactics seen in the Mayo Clinic campaign.

So the next time a marketing consultant advises you on how to reach your prospects, don?t overlook direct mail marketing. Even in a world of electronic media, direct mail can be a high-impact way to deliver a compelling message to an individual customer or prospect and a powerful tool in a smart marketing strategy.

    Plenty of events planned for families to party into 2013

    Calgarians are invited to ring in the New Year with a number of family events planned around the city.

    The city is hosting three all-ages parties Monday night.

    The events include a free family dance party, Citytv?s New Year?s Bash concert at Olympic Plaza and a family pool party at Village Square Leisure Centre.

    The downtown fun begins at 7 p.m. inside the municipal atrium at City Hall. The free family dance party features a kids? countdown at 9 p.m.

    To brighten the show, Calgarians are encouraged to dress in white, neon or anything that glows. The indoor atrium will host activities including games, crafts, power bikes that create lighting effects, fire dancers, a photo booth and dancing.

    From 9:30 p.m. to 12:15 a.m., Citytv?s New Year?s Bash at Olympic Plaza kicks off with a concert featuring performances by platinum-selling artist Johnny Reid, Serena Ryder, Victoria Duffield and Massari.

    Mayor Naheed Nenshi will lead the crowd in the midnight countdown to welcome 2013. The event will be broadcast nationwide on Citytv, beginning at around 10 p.m.

    There is no skating at the Olympic Plaza for the New Year?s events.

    The evening celebration will culminate with fireworks at midnight from the Municipal Building.

    Earlier Monday, the family pool party at Village Square Leisure Centre, at 2623 56th St. N.E., begins at 4:30 p.m. and goes until 6:30 p.m. Regular admission rates apply.

    There will be a DJ playing while families enjoy the wave pool, inflatable toys, arts, crafts, treats and prizes.

    Transit is free Monday night after 6 p.m.

    The Calgary Zoo is also hosting a family party complete with fireworks.

    This year?s event runs from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.,

    Be sure to arrive by 8:30 p.m. to catch a 12-minute, animal-friendly fireworks display choreographed to music.

    This year, the Calgary Zoo is using low-noise fireworks to avoid upsetting the animals. Pyrotechnics typically make two explosive noises, when being launched and when they explode above. The zoo is using fireworks that let off one bang only, officials say.

    There are no animal buildings open during Zoo Year?s Eve.

    Tickets are pre-purchase only at www.calgaryzoo.com or by calling the zoo at (403) 232-9300. Ticket prices are $12 for adults and $9 for children (ages 3-15 years). Children under 2 are admitted free.

    Parking is free after 4:30 p.m.

    Zoolights runs nightly until Jan. 5 or at the gate.
