Agnijaat Jyeshtha 1425 Critique By Troy David Loy: https://www.amazon.com/author/troyloy
So, from the screaming heights of random wordplay, sentence wrangling, and the spelling-shocked war-zone of consonantal conflict, I give you this critique!
Window to India*
Lovely digital painting this time, with what appears to be a lake or river with a bird perched on a flowering plant of some kind (My botany is incredibly rusty, as I haven’t really brushed up on plant species since boyhood.) on the nearside shore. I love the mix of color here, and the definition of form used.
Indie Author Speaks 10 – Scheduling
I concur with the authoress on this. The biggest pain, and subsequent worry at times is scheduling a post, only to have an error in text or links, or lacking a needed update to time sensitive information, especially when I have to be away from my devices and can’t just log in and update the entry before it publishes. Grrr!

I’m not sure what to make of this painting, though I do like it. It catches me between amusement, of a pupper playing with a cloth doll as though a prized possession, and the sense of a giant adorable doggo with a normal-sized human in his mouth. I remember from an old animated cartoon I saw as a kid growing up, of a too-friendly dog character saying, “I will hug him, and I will pet him (or her, in this case), and I will call him ‘George’.”
Unemployment the demon – 4
Interesting. That such things discussed here happen is probably not uncommon in corrupt systems, and worthy of needed reform. The trouble is, the system favors those in power, and they are unlikely to change things as they are. Still a racket is a racket, and corruption is corrupt.
Happiness Skills – Of Siri and popsicle
The authoress comments here on the personalization, and sometimes sexualization of artificial intelligences. For my own part, I don’t see it as a thing to do: I can’t relate to digital assistants like Siri if they can’t even accurately belt out the lyrics to “Bohemian Rhapsody” when I say, “Hey, Siri. I see a little silhouetto of a man…” Try it yourself. Siri gets it wrong nearly every time. Artificial, yes. Intelligent? Not so much to me, and definitely not sexy.
Baz Bahadur:
Now this is interesting. As Malwa’s last Sultan, he had a good motivator in his queen, but even he couldn’t stand long against the might of the Mughals despite his skills as ruler.
Nature @Kolkata in Jyeshtha:
Hmmm. This makes me wish I knew a mad engineer who could build something that would switch weather patterns between countries, giving Kolkata some of my hometown’s rain on hot days.
Movies and society….2:
Unfortunate that the appeal of some performers doesn’t reach as far as it could. But moviegoers are often fickle, and sometimes too particular in their tastes.
INDIAN RAGA NOW – Suresh Wadkar
Great! A new performer I must listen to. I’m often oblivious to movies from the 1970s, but this begs to be looked at closer… Woo hoo! Here’s a linky to some of his performances with Lata Mangeshkar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73TyZ8r6WhE
Story Time*
Cute pic! Here’s a girl reading on a tree limb, with a doll (or maybe a faerie without wings?), or could it be…a fractal version of herself? Cool!
May Day:
The authoress discusses some unfortunate local history in West Bengal, particularly the public processions of a previous regime.
Theme for Jyeshtha – Youth
This month, here’s a collection of images, image poem, story, poetry, and commentary.
My fave of all of these is One, showing a young man and girl in picturesque dress together, reaching for each other by a riverside. Well done!
Fir Milenge*
Image of a girl by a roadside, waiving goodbye to departing company unseen but implied in the distance.
New Day (comic): flower or frog?
Cute little pics about the uncertain fortunes and misfortunes each day brings.
That’s it for now! Tune in next month, same bat-time, same bat-channel, and in proper abbreviated Soruggon, Tf. Tk. Tts.
