Agnijaat Ashar 1425 (June 2018) Critique By Troy David Loy:

Agnijaat Ashar 1425 Critique By Troy David Loy: https://troythulu.net
Welcome! Lets go through some major points in this issue of Agnijaat for1425!
Indie Author Speaks 11 — Duotrope
Advice here on a website that provides various publishing services. I’ll poke around on the site myself this month, and see what I can find.
From the Quill of Femme Sole*
Here’s a cute little digital painting of a girl trying to talk above the howling and barking of naughty dogs. Methinks there may be some symbolism here, some social commentary, given the text.
Unemployment the Demon — 5
Looking for a job? Don’t be stupid, be a smarty, come and join my political party! The authoress discusses the downside of civic engagement and its role in getting a government job — in exchange for your MIND and SOUL!
India THEN: Birbal
Here’s a man who served Emperor Akbar, even died in his service, but never seems to have lost his favor because of a good mix of loyalty and wits. I would be terrified to get into a contest of zingers with this man, as I have enough trouble with ordinary puns!
Nature @Kolkata in Ashar
The Authoress relates the seesaw pattern of weather this month in her current hometown. I’d really like to give the city some of the rain we’ve been getting in Norfolk.
Movies and Society….3
Here’s a discussion of the downside of being a virtuous woman in India, and its futility in attempts to succeed in the film industry.
INDIAN RAGA NOW: Udit Narayan
I’ll have to listen in to some of this fellow’s singing. Lately I’ve been expanding my horizons, music wise, and he seems a good choice to hear perform.
Window to West: Lilo and Stitch
I’m noting this one on my to-do list of movies to rent. I’ve been doing that a lot lately, and who knows what screenwriting tips I can get from it!
Sweet Memories - Hyderabad House
Wow! Just from the photo alone, that looks like it was a magnificent (or at least incredibly cool) place to live! It reminds me of my late Grandparents’ place up north in Deerfield New Jersey, now long since demolished. But it too was a great place to live in its heyday.
Theme for Ashar: Dark Days
One:
This looks like a tower of some kind on a coastal area, or part of an ancient, sunken city now exposed, with seaweed wrapped around it.
Two:
A digital painting of a faerie in pain, with verse suggesting a metaphoric way to get pack at pain and make it something better.
Three:
17 word verse on falling, rising, and despair.
Four:
7x2 = diamond verse on past beauty that remains still despite the ravages of time.
Five:
Here is micro-fiction of a monster who snuffs the light, devours those in the dark, and moves about to seek better pastures elsewhere once everything is eaten.
Six:
Freeform verse on avoiding the darkness within.
Seven:
Essay on darkness without, darkness within, and avoiding the latter.
Fir Milenge (Till we meet again)* Interesting image this time. It’s done well, and reminds me a lot of a Disney princess from the hair and dress style.
In this circle, like any, without end, do join me again, next month when I cover the essentials of Agnijaat’s Shraban 1425 issue!
And, in proper abbreviated Soruggon:
Tf. Tk. Tts.
I really must create a dictionary on that language!

Shubho Jagaddhatripuja!

heading back to caves!

  Step by step our country is being led back to primitive times, back in the times when men lived in caves and if they fancied a woman they dragged her by hair and forced themselves upon them [gangrape of a child in Hathras, U.P. the perpetrators were helped widely by U.P. Govt.'s police and BJP supporters, trying to nail the girl's family for her death, calling it all a hoax.]. If any other man dared to look at their women they were clobbered to death or cause serious physical injury. The U.P. govt [where women certainly are not safe, and most probably still live the life of second class citizen in most places] recently legalized an outrageous law [blaming muslims of course, wicked fellows trying to steal Hindu girls in the name of Love Zehad] that makes women's bodies the properties of their family, their larger family, the state and the police but not theirs! If an adult Hindu girl decides to marry a Muslim man she will have to get approval of cops and he...

Shubho Chhatpuja!
