Agnishatdal Shraban 1427, July 2020 Critique by Sharmishtha Basu

Agnishatdal Shraban 1427, July 2020 ( https://shoptly.com/sharmishthabasu ) Critique by Sharmishtha Basu Agnishatdal Shraban 1427, July 2020 https://gumroad.com/l/xGMbhD https://shoptly.com/i/b3p9 By your good old editor! Few words about the works of my much cherished authors. So the critiques will be honest, short and sweet! Shraban by Labanya: Very nostalgic poem filled with colours of rain, pouring rain! I really love rain especially when it is in lap of nature, away from human presence! Political propaganda 2 by saptarchi : What can I say? It is really hilarious to research where will “Nazrul” metro station take me! Honestly? These imbeciles are really something! Fogline by Brieuc Martin Onraet 3: Funny piece Brieuc, I loved it! Love your takes on human beings! Just love it! When Gold went on a trip by Raghunandan Kuppuswamy: Well, wonder if they will retrieve their money, after all they were psycho but that money w

Agnishatdal Shraban 1427 July 2020 Critique by Labanya

Agnishatdal Shraban 1427 July 2020 ( https://shoptly.com/sharmishthabasu ) Critique by Labanya Agnishatdal Shraban 1427, July 2020 https://gumroad.com/l/xGMbhD https://shoptly.com/i/b3p9 Hi friends, let us begin! Shraban issue begins with tribute to legendary warrior Maharana Pratap, someone who fought against aggressors till his last breath. As a child we sort of hero-worshipped him and his type. Well, I still respect his courage, though I have not read about him in details but still respect him Political propaganda 2 by saptarchi : I too think this habit of changing the names of roads, areas and cities should stop! Do something new if you are such a patriot and name it whatever you want! Don’t confuse people! Fogline by Brieuc Martin Onraet 3: I really love the style of Mr. Onraet’s writing. Good description of human beings from a third eye I will say. Rather enjoyed the quips. When Gold went on a trip by Raghunandan Kup

Agnijaat Shraban 1427, July 2020 Critique by Labanya

Agnijaat Shraban 1427, July 2020 ( https://shoptly.com/sharmishthabasu ) https://gumroad.com/sharmishthabasu Critique by Labanya Agnijaat Shraban 1427, July 2020 https://gumroad.com/l/mjfPYT https://shoptly.com/i/b3pc The fourth birthday of Agnijaat was on 17 th July! May you live to be a hundred! The ezine starts with reminder of upcoming Rakhi and it is really early in August this year, so thanks! Indie Author Speaks 14 : Blurb writing certainly is an art. Few can master it. FTQFS : Agreed, smiling is a good habit, if you are surrounded by nasty grouches smile in heart. Techbabble : Agreed again! Can’t they do something about these slippery laptops and tablets? The smart-phones are slippery too but we always use cover on them something we can’t do with laptops or tablets. So for God’s sake use materials that are not slippery! Corona diaries and Kolkata blues : Covid 19 certainly is proving the incompetence of Indian administration again

Shubh Ganesh Chaturthi!

  Wish you all a very blessed Ganesh Chaturthi!

SBPnB December 2019 Critique by Troy David Loy

SBPnB December 2019 Critique by Troy David Loy https://www.amazon.com/author/troyloy Proposal A man proposes to his bride-to-be, and convinces her that he’s the one for her! Puja Pujita Verma is hardly the nicest of women, and when she tries to have her way with the man of her dreams, her spoiled nature gets in the way, destroying his love for her, and her life with him. Punishment There’s a triangle between Sabuj, Tannishtha, and Sneha, and much ugliness between the latter two! When Sneha tries to destroy Tannishtha and steal Sabuj, does the tide turn? What happens when Sabuj tells Tannishtha what’s going on? Most enjoyable! Pure evil Two men discuss the plotting of an evil daughter, and her and her family’s destruction and poisoning death of a girl. One of those men is accused by the other of a plot to destroy the girl and others, and NOT without good reason! Quagmire Sanjay and Seema have a problem: their love is almost universa

Coming Kingdom December 2019 Critique by Troy David Loy

Coming Kingdom December 2019 Critique by Troy David Loy https://www.amazon.com/author/troyloy One rainy evening A young woman, a “computerwali,” braves torrential weather while she journeys to the bus station from work. Does she survive the terrible weather? One romance, two twists Nat and Mahua have a thing going between them, but the triangle is completed by one Rekha, and complicated by Nat’s past with her. When he now is obsessed with Mahua, does his relationship with his parents and inheritance still hold? Our deed The Infamous Trio riff on the poisoned romance of Jayant and Bina, wed without dowry. Family and friends barred from her parents-in-law home for her status, she slowly turns on and divorces her spouse after having more than enough of ill treatment. What happens when Jayant remarries with his parents’ consent? Our God Ratna discovers Meera, a young dalit woman and child hiding from pursuers in her car, and drives from the scene with them.

Agnishatdal book 11 saraswatipuja 2020 Critique by Labanya

  Agnishatdal Book 11 saraswatipuja 1427 ( https://shoptly.com/sharmishthabasu ) https://gumroad.com/sharmishthabasu Critique by Labanya Agnishatdal book 11 saraswatipuja 2020 Bitter Pill https://gumroad.com/l/wXRZN https://shoptly.com/i/oaz Agnishatdal Book 11 shares a set of works by author Bitter Pill. Twain Shall never meet- Talks about BP’s belief in the words of old wisdom that said good and evil should not mingle too freely, too much. I sort of agree with that, because being good does not means we are saints, we too can get tempted and fall! These abused victims- Not everyone who is labeled a victim is always a victim, sometimes wolves do wear sheep skin to trick. Shapeshifters- In this world of stolen identities this one seems quite possible. Sita was a rare soul- Quite true, even though Indian women quite believe that they are angels incarnate, and men often say so if not believe, but in reality they are just human beings capable o

Agnimalya December 2019 Critique by Troy David Loy https://www.amazon.com/author/troyloy Missed chance An older man, nicknamed “Grumps” gets a stern talking to about trying to win back a younger flame who now wants naught to do with him. Missing persons list Young Moyna is missing, possibly abducted on her way to school. What is going on, and can they find her before it’s too late? Who is responsible? When a wealthy woman seems connected to this and other disappearances mysteriously vanishes herself, only to reappear elsewhere, the hunt is on! While the missing girls are yet to be found by the end, I found this story a good way to raise social consciousness on this very sort of thing happening in real life! Money and love Smriti and Anirban are coworkers, and seem perfect for each other in other ways as well. Smriti has ideas of her own, but refrains from romancing him. After he helps her find a new job elsewhere, they meet again, much to

Agnishatdal Ashar 1427 June 2020 Critique by Sharmishtha Basu

Agnishatdal Ashar 1427 June 2020 ( https://shoptly.com/sharmishthabasu ) Critique by Sharmishtha Basu Agnishatdal Ashar 1427, June 2020 https://gumroad.com/l/mNnNi https://shoptly.com/i/bb7o By your good old editor! Few words about the works of my much cherished authors. So the critiques will be honest, short and sweet! Megh by Labanya: A romantic poem, filled with romance. Beautifully penned! Political propaganda by saptarchi : I too would have loved if Indian government cleaned up and kept Ganges clean instead of building Ram Mandir and Statues! But who will convince these dramabazes that! Fogline by Brieuc Martin Onraet 3: Funny piece Brieuc, I loved it! “Pink things with big ears that eat everything and are delicious to eat...” You are awesome! When Gold went on a trip by Raghunandan Kuppuswamy: Poor fellow, getting both ears cut off by a crazy man and his son! Well he had earned a fistful of those coins if not more!

Agnishatdal Ashar 1427 June 2020 Critique by Labanya

Agnishatdal Ashar 1427 June 2020 ( https://shoptly.com/sharmishthabasu ) Critique by Labanya Agnishatdal Ashar 1427, June 2020 https://gumroad.com/l/mNnNi https://shoptly.com/i/bb7o Hi friends, let us begin! The ezine begins with a tribute to Madhav, never heard his name, his philosophy flew above my head but he has tried two noble things in his life, eradication of devdasi system and offering dolls of dough instead of animals in sacrifice. Political propaganda by saptarchi : Next came Saptarchi with another article I quite agree with, politics these days is more theatrics than running a country. If you don’t believe me listen to a few lectures of political leaders! Just like S I too feel sorry that Indian Government did nothing to save Ganges or other water-bodies in the country. Fogline by Brieuc Martin Onraet 3: I really love the style of Mr. Onraet’s writing. Well, human beings are 62% pig, good take! When Gold went on

Agnijaat Ashar 1427, June 2020 ( https://shoptly.com/sharmishthabasu ) https://gumroad.com/sharmishthabasu Critique by Labanya Agnijaat Ashar 1427, June 2020 https://gumroad.com/l/HJNol https://shoptly.com/i/bb7n The scenario is grim, ever since the lockdown has been lifted the virus is on a rampage across the country, things are getting worse every day. Don’t count much on governments, take care of yourself! Take care of your own safety as much you can! The Ashar issue starts with a sketch of Bankimchandra Chatterjee whose Bengali is still incomparable. Too tough for me though! But his expertise on Bengali without losing sweetness of language is beyond question. Indie Author Speaks 13 : This month Agni speaks about consumerism in creative world, yes, critiques certainly have become quite business men and women these days, take it products, books, movies, arts- they make lots of money out of their pen! Pretty tragic for creators for
