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.

Both feet grounded: I am not much aware of the political condition of USA, heck I don’t know much about Indian politics, but it seems misguiding people is the latest trick of politicians. Returning to enlightenment value? : This one is a scary piece, a story how people are being turned against each other AGAIN and AGAIN by politicians. The challenge now and ahead: no wonder #45 and Feku are buddies, their way are eerily similar. Should we punch Nazis?: The Nazis should be punched but not physically by exposing their intentions and the effect of their actions on society! When weaponized church conquers Government: It become

The dawn of data abstraction by Vasu Srinivasan translated by Raghunandan Kuppuswamy: Very well written and translated piece, I wonder what will happen in the story next month. It finished at a very interesting spot. Magna- End of
