Did You Ever Love Me? Book Review: Can Rithvik singh turn heartbreak into a homecoming?

Did You Ever Love Me? by Rithvik Singh is a tender contemporary poetry collection about love, heartbreak, longing, self worth and learning to let go. Its greatest strength is emotional accessibility: Singh writes directly to readers who feel intensely and care deeply. The collection offers comfort without pretending heartbreak is simple, though its simplicity may occasionally feel familiar to seasoned poetry readers. Did you Ever Love Me? Have you ever loved someone so completely that, after they left, you were left wondering whether they had ever understood what they had been given? Not merely whether they loved you, but whether they ever noticed how much you loved them, how much patience you offered, how many small things you remembered, or how often you chose to stay when leaving might have been easier. There is a particular loneliness in that question because it rarely arrives at a dramatic moment. More often, it finds you while you are doing something completely ordinary. Yo...

5 Steps You Should Know to Calculate Influencer Marketing ROI


Influencer marketing is undoubtedly earning huge revenues for brands in today’s digital world that goes even without saying. According to a study, it is estimated that $8 billion is to be spent on Instagram influencer marketing alone.

This gives us an insight into how effective is influencer marketing. It is the department of digital marketing that is unparalleled and unmatched in terms of the impact they create. To calculate the Returns on Investment accurately, one needs to follow these five steps-



1.       Campaign goals for ROI tracking- The first step is to set campaign goals to track ROI. It is imperative to lay down a clear set of objectives so that it can be determined easily if your influencer marketing campaigning is moving in the right direction. The major plus point of learning objectives is that you can perceive the kind of influencers you want and content distribution platform.


2.       Measuring campaign performance- it is not only about setting goals the trick is to measure the performance. The metric system must be such that it as the real factor in it. Be specific, have a timeline, be realistic. It isn’t necessary to have only one metric system you can have a more than one metric system to measure different aspects of campaigning.


3.       Setting the bar for individual influencer- You have to find out which influencer is generating more business and who is lagging. Influencers who are underperforming can be given a more detailed briefing about your brand so that they can address their followers better. Cutting down the resources, in this case, is not the remedy. Individual bars can be set, such as the amount of user-generated content created an average engagement rate, etc.


4.       Appropriate tracking platform- It is rather backdated to track the ROI manually. Its time to track ROI using marketing platforms because they are accurate and give an exact idea about performances. Let’s not forget; it saves time. Examples of some influencer marketing ROI calculator include – NeoReach, Tapinfluence, Grin, etc.


5.       Take the extra step- Let’s not be limited to only measuring the ROI through business generated. It is equally important to measure the influencer. Measuring the influencer will give you an idea about your pick and if it was the right decision to appoint him in the first place. Here the key is to start with a small set of influencers and then to increase the expenditure selecting more influencers.


With these five steps accessing the results gets easier, and it gives a general idea of about the ROI of influencer marketing. We are not to forget that influencer marketing requires the right strategies to generate business, and it is not always the influencers who are under-performing at times; it’s the strategy as well.

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...

Politics - A profession

Note: This article was originally published on 18 March 2009, 01:10 on this blog and has been thoughtfully revised on 30 January 2026, 12:00 noon to reflect fresh insights and updated context. This post is loosely inspired by the  TATA Tea a d  where this politician goes to ask for votes and a voter asks him for his qualification and work experience the the important 'job' that he is embarking upon. The politician laughs at the voter, asking him what job is the voter referring to. The voter responds, "The job to run the country". Do politicians in other countries view politics as a profession? Or is politics viewed similarly across international boundaries? The best way of course to find out is go to that ever useful tool for professionals - LinkedIn.  Here are the results: Barrack Obama Hillary Clinton Sarah Palin The apparently technologically challenged Senator   John McCain. I also came across many politicians, prime ministers who have LinkedIn profiles. While ...
