Agnijaat Boisakh 1425, April 2018 critique by Troy David Loy

Agnijaat Boisakh 1425 Critique
By Troy David Loy: https://www.amazon.com/author/troyloy

Bah! It’s already 1425! So here is the critique for Boisakh’s issue! Ready, set….
….Go!
Indie Author Speaks 9 – Scheduling
Sound advice for those in need of blogging time, especially with posts readymade for scheduling!
Unemployment the demon – 3:
Here’s a commentary on societal and governmental corruption, including some ideas on resolving it.
Happiness Skills…. Skill 22:
Here the authoress discusses stalking, otherwise known as “seeing love without real evidence that it is actually there.” Seriously, guys, don’t do this if you don’t want to be deemed a danger to others and locked up. It’s creepy as f***.
India THEN:
A pic of an ancient Indian, possibly a scribe, priest, or other scholar of some king’s court.
India THEN: Aurangzeb
A discussion of one of the strictest of the Mughal emperors, reputedly one of the least popular and allegedly a failure when it came to effectively and justly ruling his empire. It’s a question worth examining regardless of the conclusions reached.

Nature @Kolkata in Boisakh
A pic showing a bird perched on a tree branch. He looks like he’s surveying the territory for rivals.
Nature @Kolkata in Boisakh
Here’s hoping the weather this summer stays rainy, at least for a bit longer. It’s no fun living in a pressure-cooker!
Movies and Society….
A commentary on the reflection of popular culture and society through movies. I’ve noticed something similar in Hollywood flicks myself, even with the movies that sell; they often sell because they reflect the culture, not despite it.
INDIAN RAGA NOW: Sukhwinder Singh:
Now here’s a new singer to check out! I’ve heard a bit from Punjabi artists before, including the death-metal version of Tunak Tunak Tun.
SPOTLIGHT ON – The Bee Gees:
Once of my favorite bands of the ’70s. I never saw Saturday Night Fever, as I was a bit young at the time, but the Bee Gees are to me a highlight of the decade’s music.
Window to West – The charade
A movie I’ve not seen but worth looking at all the same. Will check it out!
Sweet Memories – Noreen Barron
The authoress reminisces on an old friend who helps maintain her faith in humanity.
Story Time:
A pic of a girl reading a book while nestled in a tree limb.

Agnimalya: The ones left behind:
A tale from the authoress’ collection of stories, this one is of evil cultists and stolen children.
Nabobarsho*
The authoress commemorates the Bengali New Year with painting and words…
Theme for Boisakh is Life Begins:
An image of a goddess with vermillion on her outstretched hand, and what looks like a pouch held in it.
One: An image of a baby in diapers, apparently active and happy while trying to get an adult’s attention – AND without crying to get it.
Two: An image of planetary crescents, with verse included. My own understanding of the question it asks, as a layman, is that the evidence favors the Big Bang, AND doesn’t rule out anything prior to that, including a God. We simply don’t know what came before.
Three: Some 17 word diamond verse addressing the above question as well.
Four: 7x2 diamond verse on the good and bad memories of the previous year. I like this one.
Five: A cute little story of God being annoyed by the errors of a mischievous angel – for creating humans!
Six: Some verse with advice not unlike the Stoic wisdom from the philosophers of ancient Greece and Rome.
Seven: Que sera sera:
The authoress on her thoughts of the passing of an old year and the beginning on the new. Good musings here.
Frog Princess*
A frog princess falls for a butterfly, and goes crying to the frog king when rejected. It does not end well for the butterfly, or for its lotus….
Goodbye 1424, Welcome 1425:
Here are some nice digital paintings, celebrating the New Year, with Bengali script that I had no trouble reading – progress!
So, that’s it for the first 1425 issue of Agnijaat. I’ll be back next month with the this issue’s critique!
Aaand, in proper abbreviated Soruggon….Tf. Tk. Tts.

Agnishatdal Poush 1426 Critique: Agnishatdal Poush 1426, December 2019 https://gumroad.com/l/umPGr https://shoptly.com/i/mon by Troy David Loy https://www.amazon.com/author/troyloy iravu vanakkam. naandaan Troy. Welcome to the Poush 1426 review of Agnishatdal! Here are a few of the outstanding features for this issue… First there’s… … Let us Begin… Our Virtual Trip to India This painting shows a young woman leaning, her back to a tree, while a small fishing boat travels past on the river in the background. Bharatendu Harishchandra So, here is one whose linguistic influence was deep and far-reaching. I must look for any published works of his that remain in print, and I suspect that these are more than a few sources I can look on. Rupjibi and Kalambiji Saptarchi criticizes the intellectual failures of modern Indian movies made for money, not the writer’s craft. Masai 1 of 4 Brieuc begins this series on the Masai people

A piece from The Soul Devourers Now available in shoptly as Agnimalya Book 9 https://shoptly.com/sharmishthabasu   "The names that our parents gave us were Agni (Fire) and Vari (water), yours was Agni, mine Vari, based on our natures, of course; I don’t think you would mind if I call you Agni." Her sister asked.   She shrugged.   "Who are these people?" she asked.   "These people were once human beings. Their greed was too strong, so strong it tempted them into selling their soul to the devil. There is a temple in Gajmahal, where they worship the devil, and have been for centuries. These soul devourers –– yes, that’s what they are called because that’s what they become capable of devouring souls–– souls of their victims are their life-force. That keeps them alive, as some of them are centuries old. Their head priest was one of the first priests of the temple, and has done it for centuries now."   "These p
