Agnishatdal Jyeshtha 1425 (May 2018) Critique By Troy David Loy

Agnishatdal Jyeshtha 1425 Critique By Troy David Loy: https://www.amazon.com/author/troyloy
So, from deep within the vowels of the earth, with cacophonous consonants, and a dash of slightly mad punctuation, here is this month’s critique!
Enjoy!
Kazi Nazrul Islam:
A true iconoclast in an era of colonial domination, and an innovator of poetic works. His vast number of songs alone would serve to make his mark on the world!
Manna Dey:
Here is an award winning singer worth checking out! It’s rare when someone’s voice is considered the gold standard for performance, but not unexpected given his uncle!
Stories reflections and thoughts*
Here, a young girl combs the shore for shells, an oyster with pearl nearby – Nice balance of colors with this one.
The Black Queen piece 6
Nguyen warns his friend, Lieutenant D of the Black Queen’s approach. Preparations for combat are made with D’s garrison and the villagers, but surprises are in store…
How fate was outwitted 2
The Guru’s wife is giving birth to child, and Vidhyadhar is told to guard against
strangers, but Brahma comes to mark the baby’s fate, and it is not one in the baby’s favor…Vidhyadhar is told not to tell of it… Or else!
Mount Graylock*
Here are two gorgeous photos by Dom, one of a valley, the other of a forest lake.
Get em Boys:
BP comments on anti-Muslim sentiment in India, with the Hindu fear of losing women to Muslim men gaining traction, causing tension in interfaith relations.
A bouquet of Hope and Love* – Sherri of Palm Springs:
A lovely image, and a brief personal intro by the artist herself!
Treats of D Month*
This time, an image of a bird perched on someone’s finger
Jackie Chan:
Here’s a good actor, one whose moves in action flicks are worth watching!
Rajendra Prasanna:
Hmmm. A performer I’ve not previously heard of. But I’m listening now, and here’s a bit of linky love I’ve found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6VUg0RCbic
Creator’s Quill*
A puppy and writer’s quill adorn this month’s image heading the authoress’ work.
This month, the Bengali and Hindi poems are each 17 words, so that’s 34 going into my study files!
Pieces of Past: Firdausi
This month’s story is worth 60,000 golden reasons not to diss your court poet. he might say bad but true things about you!
Story from Ved and Purana – Dakshayagnya
Here we learn that never, ever, fail to invite a major deity to a royal celebration, especially the Destroyer of Worlds himself!
Mannequins and Girls:
Comic memes of girls who are magically transported to a world of living mannequins. These mannequins are more judgemental but apparently much less dangerous than the ones in Doctor Who, Season One, Episode 1 “Rose.”
Aaand that’s it for this month! I’ll be back again for another critique, and until then, in proper abbreviated Soruggon, Tf. Tk. Tts.

Agnishatdal Poush 1426 Critique by Troy David Loy

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

Shubho Jagaddhatripuja!

    Shubho Jagadhdhatripuja, May our worlds be blessed forever. Wish you all a very blessed time ahead. Love.

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
