Agnishatdal Shraban 1425

G’day! Here is this month’s review of Agnishatdal and of the coolness within its pages!
Let’s start with….
Let us begin …. Our virtual trip to India:
Lovely digital painting, this one, of a woman, or perhaps goddess, bedecked in fiery blossoms and garbed in red. I like the balance of colors and proportions, along with the background shades, even without the anti-aliasing.
Shraddharghya – Homages:
Beautiful balance of flesh tones and blue with this one. The objects in hand seem to be blue seedpods, flowers, or perhaps small butterflies!
Prafulla Chandra Roy:
A scientist this one was, a chemist no less, and a great one at that. Good that he
achieved so much in his life, despite chronic health problems and financial woes early on. That is inspirational.
Subhash Chandra Bose:
I’ve heard of this man in a course on Indian history I took some years back. Not adverse to working with evil men to achieve freedom for India, he was nonetheless a patriot, not a villain himself. He would have made an interesting partner for debate had he lived today, and would likely best me quite easily.
Stories Reflections and Thoughts:
An image of a girl on the shore, holding a large pearl from an oyster at the water’s edge. I like the mix of sand and blue, as well as the proportions of the figure in it.
The Black Queen, P.8:
The chess-players match wits, with the Black Queen victorious, and the White King somewhat worse for wear. I like the conversation after game’s end, and of learning something of the origins of the board!
How Fate was Outwitted 4:
Vidyadhar meets the now-grown son of his teacher, and engages him in a series of good works, though now without even his sole means of support, his bullock. What is Vidyadhar’s plan?
No-thing is a “now”-thing:
Nice verse from Dom, this time in long-form. So much to think about from this one!
Pisces:
Sherri’s image this time is a brilliantly gleaming, almost neon-light colored piece with a pair of sea-going creatures evoking dolphins or dolphin-like fish.
The Haunted Friend, Part 1:
An antique farmhouse in a remote locale, and haunted too. Hemdiva gives a great beginning to A Scary Vacation.
The Shapeshifters:
BP discusses Ye Olde Folks who try to pass as younger with fake birth certificates and baffling intent!
Audrey Hepburn:
I’m sure I’ve seen some of her movies as a kid. She was definitely a regal-looking actress in just the right roles for that demeanor.
Ghatam:
Now this is an instrument I was wholly unfamiliar with. Lot’s of good stuff with this one!
Minutes Together …:
I like this one, two young people sharing a fresh blossom between them. Lots of feeling with this one!
Guru Purnima:
Respect for teachers, a good idea when your country values education as an
investment in its future. Sadly being a teacher in my country is an extremely high-stress, low-reward job, with minimal pay. What can I say? The American educational system is broken and run by fools and zealots who do NOT value the nation’s future.
Pieces of Past: Kabirdas:
Men like this are sorely needed in the current World on Fire, with so much strife between religions and cultures, even when not outright warfare.
Story From Ved and Purana: Garud Teertha:
I love stories like this. Garuda was probably the first Hindu being of note I read about as a child, when my reading habits ventured sometimes, but not all that far from the usual. I think it was an Ingreji translation of a chapter of the Mahabharata, a different story than the one told here, if memory serves me correctly.
Behindtheveil 6:
Some cool stick figure political cartoons.
Saraswati Spoilers:
This is kind of neat! a couple of verse pictures of the Goddess Saraswati, in both Bangla and Ingreji.
I’ll see you once more next month, and in proper abbreviated Sorrugon,
Tf. Tk. Tts. (Be well. Be safe. Be brilliant as the stars.)
Or in romanized Tamil, naan pooyittu varaenga (I shall go and return.).
