Hello! I bid you welcome to this month’s critique of Agnijaat!
Indie Author Speaks 12 — Goodreads:
I too spend far too little time on Goodreads, either to update my book challenge or to manage my Author page. Perhaps soon, after September….
Passwords are not that safe:
Beware the powered-down computer left unattended! I’d add that this is particularly a problem when the password is written down, easy to remember, or is not kept in a locked safe or truly secret place by the owner!
Unemployment the demon — 6:
The Authoress discusses the theft of wages by rich employers in business, aided and abetted by government after a little greasing of the palms.
India THEN: Hamida Banu:
This, then was the mother of a great emperor who worked hard to raise her son. it’s said that behind every great man there is a woman, often most importantly one’s mother. Akbar was certainly no exception.
Nature @Kolkata in Shraban:
Good that Kolkata is getting rain this season, and hopefully not too much! The summer here is just awful, terrible for walks at the local Botanical Garden!
Movies and Society….5:
The Authoress talks about substandard products, in both movies, and at the chemist’s when buying medicines.
Indian Raga Now: Rahat Fateh Ali Khan:
Here’s a man difficult to join in a duet, and I’ve found a link worth listening to here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ca1vb-AIWAs
Window to West — Brother Bear:
These look like movies worth watching. I’m a bit behind on my popular culture chops, and not in favor of hunting myself, unless done for food, and not sport!
Sweet Memories — Narendrapur Flat:
Bird calls are a wonderful thing to wake to, especially birds that tend not to be overly afraid of humans!
Theme for Shraban: Satisfaction:
1: First, we have a digital painting of a man, perhaps a yogi, or even a god or godlike figure, in deep meditation and framed by the setting sun.
2: Here, there’s a digital painting with two scenes, a girl who seems to be discarding a necklace of beads, and in the other, a pair of divine lovers on a swing, accompanied by verse speaking of the illusion that satisfaction often is, especially in love.
3: a 17 word diamond verse on the variation in how satisfied people tend to be, some easily, some not at all.
4: 7x2 diamond verse on the elusiveness and impermanence of satisfaction.
5: Tale of two old men on their death beds, on happy, and one not, one who failed but with purpose, one who succeeded, but confronted with his end in a life without meaning.
6: Here’s verse by the Authoress on finding meaning and happiness in writing.
7: A commentary on contentment and how difficult it is to achieve, even by sages and saints!
Behind The Veil — 5:
Cartoon memes on the victim/victimizer roles of the upper classes in Indian society before and after 1947.
That’s it for this month, so tune in next month for this month’s Agnijaat review, and in proper abbreviated Soruggon,
Tf. Tk. Tts. (Be well. Be safe. Be brilliant as the stars.)
And in romanized Tamil, naan pooyittu varaenga (I shall go and return.).
