Agnijaat
Falgun 1425, February 2019
Vanakkam.
I hope this Chaitra sees you all well. I’ve this time critique of
Falgun 1425’s Agnijaat, so let’s do this!
Shubh
Shivratri*
Here’s
a pic of Lord Shiva meditating, accompanied by one of his attendant
ghosts while a girl nearby fasts, hoping for good husband.
From
the Quill of Femme Sole: Fight for my right!:
Here’s
cartoon using stick figures of women with misplaced priorities on
both sides of a debate. Why the dichotomy? Why not both sets of
rights?
Hinduism
and India – 3:
The
authoress notes that Hinduism’s history is one of flourishing by
adaptation to create a rising tide that raises all proverbial ships,
other religions in India, for benign coexistence rather than strife.
Hinduism’s proponents ought not to make their own faith
disreputable! I agree.
Words
of the Wisest 20
I
find the notion of using one’s weakness as a strength a novel idea,
and a useful one if you know how to do it, though that indeed takes
wisdom to figure out!
Indian
Raga Now: Nazia and Zohaib Hassan
Two
more performers to put on my bucket list! I’ve found a link to
Nazia’s piece, Boom Boom, here:

SPOTLIGHT
ON – Simi Garewal
Actress
and talk show hostess? She shares a few skills with a Britisher of
Indian/Pakistani descent named Jameela Jamil whom I’ve watched
before, suggested by Amita Patel on the podcast Inside Pop. Give them
both a watch and a listen!
Sweet
Memories – Ocean
I
can sympathize with the authoress on this, and have good memories of
being on the beaches in the next town over. Though in a world where
we humans do nothing serious to avert climate change, rising sea
levels are making coasts creep ever inland!
Shivratri
This
festival suggests to me an old warning when wishing badly enough for
something:you just might get what you ask for!
Theme
for Falgun: Friendship
One:
an image of two close friends, holding hands amidst the fires of
hell.
Two:
Two close friends coversing, each basking in the other’s company.
Three:
ian image with verse of two women together, maybe on beach, maybe on
rooftop, with the top of a palm frond in the background.
Four:
7x2 diamond verse, on the value of stalwart friends who support us.
Five:
story of an injured sprite, found by a young girl, and recovered by
its fellow faerie folk.
Six:
Here’s verse on non-judgmental friends, who stay together in rough
times.
Seven:
This is a piece on the contrast between friends and lovers, and why
friends are often better in the long term.
Fir
Milenge*
This
shows a girl standing at the shore of the ocean, watching the tide
come in. I like the color palette used with this one!
Circle….
it never ends…*
This
one uses an image of four oval framed pics, each with a girl’s hand
holding flower blossoms of various sorts! This one stands out nicely!
That’s
it for Chaitra, 1425! I’ll be back next month to review Agnijaat,
and so, in Soruggon…
…Talotaa
frang. Talotaa kas. Talotaa tranga suulaat.
And
in Tamil……Vanakkam.
