  18. I No one asked “Why?” as the weight of this question is unbearable to the best of us. However, one man refuses to fall off the edge of this bureaucracy. Upon awakening, his consciousness triggered a pair of wings to bloom on his back, carrying him toward the light of liberation. magine a long queue of men with the same face, height, and every other trait. They looked like they were from the same factory with their matching black coats and trilby hats. Each man with a perfectly square briefcase took one step at a time at the same rhythm. Like some products on a manufacturing belt, they slowly moved toward the rim of nothingness. These complexities of human life intertwined with the mediocrity and uncertainty in my stories are nowadays called “Kafkaesque.” This beautiful blend has something to do with where I was born and spent most of my mediocre life — “The City of a Hundred Spires.” In Central Europe lies a city with a blend of history, culture, and mystique—Prague, mirroring the soul of my literary creations. A place that will bloom wings on your back and make you fly far away from the same old queue, the birthplace of my fictional world. I am Franz Kafka, and this article is a tour of the magnificent city of Prague. “History” — one does not have to die but change in some sort to become a part of it, like the city of Prague. However, one cannot become history while still alive, like me. Focusing on Prague, its beauty is a fruit from a gigantic tree. The seed of which was planted on the grounds of wars and revolutions of all sorts. History f The O ity Of A C undred Spires H Prague is the capital and the largest city of the Czech Republic. Located on the longest river, the Vltava, it is home to about 1.3 million people. As I stroll through Old Town Square, I am immersed in the history echoing through the centuries-old buildings. Founded during the Romanesque era, the city of a hundred spires later flourished during the Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque eras. This city has been a part of major world events like the First World War, resulting in the defeat of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Prague became the capital of Czechoslovakia due to its thriving industrial sector. Followed by the positive wave of the Velvet Revolution in 1989, when Czechoslovakia experienced significant benefits. The year 1993 witnessed the Velvet Divorce, leading to the establishment of the Czech Republic, proudly declaring Prague as its new capital. Since then, Prague has emerged as the cultural center in Europe, showcasing a distinct influence from the forces of globalization. | April 2024 22

  19. The Economy: To understand a city, one must first know its people and the way they live their lives. Here is an accumulation of the economy of the city of a hundred Spires. Best Things to Witness in the City of a Hundred Spires: 1. Charles Bridge Whenever I was free from my 9 to 5 prison, I loved strolling through the Hradčany neighborhood. Charles Bridge is one of Prague’s most famous landmarks and a popular attraction for visitors. Therefore, it makes sense that there is a daytime frenzy unlike any other. However, during the main season, one is hustled through the bridge rather than being able to see much of it in the afternoon. www.theenterpriseworld.com | 23

  20. 2. Prague Castle Prague Castle is on a peak of around 70 meters high and stands proudly over the Vltava River. Upon reaching the summit, one can find the world’s largest enclosed castle grounds, with other attractions to explore. St. Vitus Cathedral: It is a magnificent Gothic structure and the most important church in the Czech Republic, serving as a focal point of the city of a hundred spires. A highlight is the view from the clock tower of St. Vitus Cathedral. • Golden Lane: House number 22 on this charming alley was previously home to Franz Kafka. The 16th century gave rise to the unique appearance of the Golden Lane with its modest home. • Old Royal Palace: If you lean towards history, you might want to visit the Old Royal Palace. The Old Royal Palace was the scene of the Prague defenestration. The heart of the palace is the 60-metre-long Vladislav. • St. George’s Basilica: One of the oldest structures in Prague Castle, this basilica dates back to the tenth century. • You have to go through security before entering the grounds of Prague Castle. Certain places (such as the St. Vitus Cathedral entry or certain courtyards) are free to visit, but many attractions (like the Golden Lane) require a ticket. 3. Old Town Square Prague’s old town is on the other side of the Vltava River. The Old Town Square is the main square by far. You will eventually arrive here if you stroll through the city’s winding lanes. Every row of houses in the Old Town Square is more exquisite than the last, making it a veritable work of beauty. Some major attractions are located in the Old Town Square, including the Old Town Hall and the impressive Church of Our Lady before Tyn. Old Town Hall with its astronomical clock: The clock is one of the main attractions in this city of a hundred spires, the Old Town Hall, created in the fifteenth century. Since then, it has continuously evolved. This place has a glockenspiel that chimes every hour on the hour. | April 2024 24

  21. 4. Jewish District: Jewish cemetery & Synagogues The Jewish neighborhood is located in the northern section of Old Town. It is about a five-minute walk from the Old Town Square. There are several nearby attractions to discover here. The Old Jewish Cemetery: This location has about 12,000 gravestones jammed up against one another. You are welcome to tour the region. • The Spanish Synagogue: It is a Jewish district’s most striking synagogue. Its Moorish-style construction surprised us with its interior design. • The Old New Synagogue: It is the oldest synagogue in Europe and one of Prague’s first Gothic structures. • Maisel Synagogue: An exhibition on the Jewish history of Bohemia is housed in this unassuming synagogue. • Pinkas Synagogue: Here, there is a memorial dedicated to the victims of the Holocaust. • Klausen Synagogue: A modest synagogue designed in the Baroque style. • 5. Wenceslas Square Wenceslas Square holds a political significance that extends beyond its appeal to tourists. Numerous historical events have taken place on the square, including the student Jan Palach’s self-immolation in protest of the Prague Spring’s repression. Wenceslas Square is not so much a square but a broad avenue. www.theenterpriseworld.com | 25

  22. Further things to do in the City of a Hundred Spires KLEMENTINUM LIBRARY Klementinum Library:The Baroque library of the former Jesuit institutions is the most impressive sight. However, one can only see it when on a tour. Franz Kafka Statue: Czech artist David Černý’s sculptures dot Prague, featuring the futuristic head of Franz Kafka (Yep, that’s me) near the Quadrio shopping mall. John Lennon Wall: This street art wall pays homage to John Lennon. It’s worth a quick stop if you’re in the area. Dancing House: The Dancing House, a prominent modern architectural marvel in Prague, was erected in 1996 along the Vltava River. While not deemed a must-see, a brief photo stop at this distinctive sight is recommended for its unique design. Wallenstein Garden: Situated beneath Prague Castle, this Baroque garden offers an ideal spot for a brief respite during your sightseeing adventures. | April 2024 26

  23. Prague’s Bohemian kitchen is known for its hearty, meat-heavy dishes, alongside modern-inspired restaurants offering high- quality cuisine. • Vegetarian options in Prague are excellent, providing delicious alternatives to meat-based meals. • Czech sweet treats, reminiscent of Austrian classics, include curd dumplings, pancakes, buchtel, and golatschen. • Trdelník, a popular pastry from Slovakia, is a must-try treat in Prague. • The Czech Republic is considered the beer world champion, with Czech beer being the most popular and highly- regarded beer in the world. Prague offers a diverse culinary experience, whether enjoying a hearty meal or a pint of beer at one of its many pubs. Cheers to good food and great company in the heart of Europe. Concluding this journey, I must say that a lot has changed from my time in this City of a Hundred Spires. The streets are more vibrant and colorful now. The smell when passing by the coffee shops and local cafes is different. The sun sets a bit early these days through the tall buildings in Prague. However, the city still feels the same as when I spent countless sleepless nights, wondering with my shadows. This city gave me the warmth that silenced the crowded market of thoughts in my mind. I was the same man standing in the queue like others, moving towards nothingness. However, this City of a Hundred Spires gave me and my storied wings to survive, even today, years later. So, dear reader, should you ever find yourself lost in the labyrinth of life, remember to look up. You might find the light that leads you, born not from the absence of questions but from the courage to ask them. “This is Prague, the place where my stories take flight.” Cuisines that will Touch Your Soul While writing “A Hungry Artist,” I was consumed by the thought that every artist is a selfish fraud, even ready to die out of hunger in the name of art. Maybe it was me that I tried to portray through this story. However, that won’t be the case for you. I have put together all the best places to feed your soul with vibrant flavors in this city of a hundred spires. www.theenterpriseworld.com | 27

But it wasn't until 1988 that Air Jordans truly became iconic. A talented architect turned designer named Tinker Hatfield made a bold move.

  34. Enjoy the delicious taste of Coca Cola perfectly blended with a delightful coffee flavor. It's fizzy and refreshing, just like regular colas, but with a twist. The best part is it has caffeine, which gives you a little energy boost, perfect for when you need a pick-me-up. Sometimes, you can find it in fancy glass bottles, making it look cool. It's for grown-ups who like the flavors of both cola and coffee. Imagine a drink that is a blend of cola and coffee –Coca Cola Blāk. It was fancy, so it often came in cool glass bottles. Which made it look stylish and appealing to people who liked trendy stuff. They were trying to attract grown-ups who enjoy the fancy tastes of both cola and coffee. It was different from regular sodas – it's a special drink for people who wanted something more sophisticated and unique. They were trying to stand out as the usual sodas you see in the stores. Even though it seemed interesting, it didn't stick around for long. There were a few reasons, like different tastes, more competition in the market, and not reaching a big enough audience. In this article, we'll explore more about Coca Cola Blāk and find out why it didn't stay on the shelves for too long. What was the purpose behind launching Coca Cola Blāk? In the end, a combination of factors, including taste preferences, market competition, and target audience limitations, contributed to its lack of success and led to its discontinuation from the market. In this article, we will explore why it was discontinued. The purpose behind launching it was to create a unique beverage that combined the classic Cola taste with coffee avors. The product targeted consumers interested in a blend of cola and coffee, providing a unique and innovative beverage. It aimed to offer a caffeinated and refreshing experience, catering to individuals seeking a unique avor within the Coca Cola product line. | April 2024 42

  35. Case Study - Coca Cola Blāk: A Unique Blend of Cola and Coffee Key Features: Here are some key features: Coffee-Infused Flavor Carbonation Caffeine Content Coca-Cola Blāk combined the classic taste of Coca-Cola with coffee avors, creating a unique and bold beverage. Similar to traditional colas, Coca-Cola Blāk was carbonated, providing a zzy and refreshing quality. The drink contained caffeine, offering consumers both the familiar energy boost from cola and the additional kick from coffee. Glass Bottle Packaging Targeted at Adults In some markets, Coca-Cola Blāk was available in stylish glass bottles, enhancing its premium and sophisticated appeal. Coca-Cola Blāk was positioned as a beverage for adults, aiming to attract those who enjoyed both cola and coffee avors. www.theenterpriseworld.com | 43

  36. Consumer Reaction: Ultimately, consumer preferences, market dynamics, and the specific niche appeal of Coca Cola Blāk contributed to its failure, leading to its discontinuation in 2008. Despite its short-lived presence, the product remains a notable example of the challenges of introducing unconventional flavor combinations in the highly competitive beverage industry. People had different feelings about Coca Cola Blāk when it was around for a short time. Mixing cola and coffee flavors got the attention of people who wanted to try something different. The idea of having a cola with coffee in it interested those who were looking for a new and bold taste experience. However, people had different thoughts about how it tasted. Some thought the mix was cool and different, liking that it wasn't like regular sodas. They enjoyed the strong and unique flavors that came from combining cola and coffee. However, others thought the taste was strange or something you had to get used to, causing a split in what people liked. Strategically targeting a specific demographic – primarily adults – was the target audience of Coca Cola Blāk. The product targeted consumers who valued both cola and coffee, catering to the preferences of a more mature audience. This special way they marketed the product affected how people saw it and what they expected from it. Despite initial interest, Coca Cola Blāk did not achieve widespread success in the market. The product faced challenges in establishing a solid and permanent consumer base. They stopped making the drink because not many people kept buying it regularly. This shows it's tough to keep a niche drink with a unique taste going in the long run. Valuable Marketing Lessons: The marketing journey of Coca Cola Blāk provides valuable lessons for brands in the beverage industry. Here are some key takeaways: Understanding Consumer Preferences: Its introduction highlighted the importance of thoroughly understanding consumer preferences. While the fusion of cola and coffee seemed innovative, it was essential to gauge whether it aligned with widespread taste preferences. Targeted Positioning: The beverage industry is diverse, and successful products often have a well-defined target audience. Coca Cola Blāk's premium positioning for a mature demographic demonstrated the importance of aligning the product with the specific preferences and lifestyles of the intended consumer base. Balancing Uniqueness and Familiarity: Innovation is crucial, but it needs to strike a balance between uniqueness and familiarity. It aimed to offer a distinct flavor combination, but finding the right equilibrium between the classic cola taste and the bold coffee flavor proved challenging. Why the Product Failed? Coca Cola Blāk, aimed to bring a unique twist to the beverage market by combining cola with coffee flavors. Despite its innovative approach, the product faced challenges that contributed to its ultimate discontinuation. The distinct taste, blending the sweetness of cola with the boldness of coffee, proved polarizing among consumers.

Additionally, the marketing and branding of the product may not have effectively communicated its unique value proposition to consumers, impacting its overall success. Limited Edition Appeal: Introducing a product as a limited edition can create excitement and exclusivity. However, brands must carefully assess whether the product has the potential for long-term success or if it is better suited as a temporary offering. Adaptability to Changing Tastes: Consumer preferences can evolve, and a product that once seemed innovative may lose relevance. The lesson here is for brands to stay attuned to market dynamics and be ready to adapt their offerings based on changing tastes and trends. Communication and Brand Storytelling: Clear Effective communication about a product's unique features is crucial. Coca Cola Blāk's marketing could have placed more emphasis on narrating a compelling story about the fusion of cola and coffee, aiding consumers in comprehending and connecting with the innovative concept. | April 2024 44
