Koral Dasgupta is a young wife and mother and also an author, academician and
content strategist. Currently she is working as freelance illustrator from home
while taking care of her new born.
Her
first book Power of a Common Man an academic
analysis of Shah Rukh Khan's career used as consumer behaviour theory to
explain how his image works for the masses and returns such a huge popularity released two years ago was
a super seller. Koral is now set to release her second, Fall Winter
Collections published by Niyogi. This one is the journey of a Rajput
sculptor, who as he works on an ambitious project with Krishna's Women
finds companionship in a young Bengali professor.
What
is interesting about the book is that Dasgupta combines mythology with fiction,
using the paradox of some professional achievements that often comes at the
cost of grilling personal failures. The plot, though a simple love story, is a
throwback on the art, music, poetry and ambience of Santiniketan which makes
all the difference.
Her book launch promises to be different with
a panel discussion on Representation of Visual Art and Artists in
Popular Media where artistes from various mediums will discuss art and
culture.
I
recommended the book to everyone interested in performing mediums and
importantly, Shantiniketan.
