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.

Of dreams and reality 2019

Of dreams and reality https://www.amazon.com/dp/b0105jdvh4 Life and its myriad tugs and pulls that bring out the best and worst of imagination, experiences. We all start our lives with dreams in our eyes and hope in our hearts. Believe me! The broken hearts and souls you see around you are the ones beaten by themselves or the world! Some pieces of those dreams, hopes and turmoil are wrapped inside these covers for you. Hope you will enjoy them! You can guess by the name that this book contained a set of poems about human existence, its vices and virtues, its behavior good and bad!  Then this year I added a bunch of poems of various mood and topics, written in my own style seventeen. Now the mood of the book has changed substantially so check out and see what you can gather from them. Hope you will enjoy it. Do drop a line after reading them please!
