Love them or hate them, these words are here to stay!
We all know that the virus was not the only thing we had to evade in the pandemic, remember the phrase “New Normal”? The very foundation of communication as we knew it has changed – not just what we say, but also how we say it.
In this issue of Subtext, we break down a few buzzwords in communication and tell you how you can use them to be a successful communicator in a post-Covid (PC) world.

The one for Hindalco and Indian Railways!
Launch video of India’s first all-aluminium freight rake
TIC was proud to partner Hindalco in its launch of India's first aluminium railway wagon. As Hindalco's video partner, we were excited to create a video to launch a product that is about to be a game changer for India's transportation industry.
From scripting, storyboarding and post-production, the video was made in a record time of one week. The video shows how the all-aluminium wagons will transform and modernise Indian Railways and reduce its carbon footprint. In fact, each aluminium rake can save over 14,500 tonnes of CO2 over its lifetime. A fact that thrilled us beyond measure.
The video is a mix of real footage and some exceptional typography!

Ough!
English is a funny language and a confusing one at that! In German, you read a word exactly the way it is spelled, but English likes to play with your mind.
Sample this:
How many different ways can you pronounce ough?
Maybe "Auf" as in cough
Or "Uf" as in rough
That's just two ways. What if we told you "ough" can be pronounced in 9 different ways?
"A rough-coated, dough-faced, thoughtful ploughman strode through the streets of Scarborough; after falling into a slough, he coughed and hiccoughed."
Did you get all 9?
Listen to this clip and see how many you got right!
