Saraswati

This is my first attempt of Bengali poetry book with English translation in shoptly. Have tried a few in Amazon but as I have shifted venue, from now on these too will show up here.

　

This book is dedicated to the Goddess we, all creators adore I believe, Goddess Saraswati- the creator of art, music, literature.

　

There are Bengali poems, their rough English translation and of course illustrations. Hope this tiny colourful book will please you! It is next to impossible to translate poetry, so I don’t try. I just capture the essence and share that. I think that is more honest and intelligible too!

　

I will love to hear from you, compliments, suggestions anything will do!

Agnimalya July 2018 in patreon for my patrons

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
