Magh 1425 Critique:
By

Salutations,
O humans! This Falgun I offer the previous issue of Fireborn’s
critique. I’ll not what stands out, what’s new or simply updated,
what I liked, and questions that rear their heads, as this is a
critique, after all! So, let’s do this!
Indie
Author Speaks – Pocket Money or More 2:
The
authoress here suggests a website for helping out new writers become
more financially independent. I’ve bookmarked the website for a
further look.
From
the Quill of Femme Sole: We are the big cheez!
The
authoress discusses the seedy side of guys who make remarks about
female dress. it’s a common thing for guys to ‘mansplain’
morals to women through those remarks. Pathetic man-babies!
Hinduism
and India – 1:
The
authoress notes the ordinarily ecumenical character of Hinduism, as
opposed to Hindu nationalism and the bullying of non-Hindus by those
said nationalists.
India
THEN: History of Goa:
An
interesting account of the legends and early history of Goa. I’m
myself reminded of the Goa Inquisition, perpetrated by the monstrous
policies of Portuguese colonists. 2000 people killed is not 500000
people killed, but even just one killed in an act of persecution is
too many!
Nature
@Kolkata in Magh!
Good
that weather there is benign in character, and I hope for a few weeks
more in the authoress’s locale!
Wake
up Hollywood!
Miss
Basu notes the poor quality of so many Hollywood movies, and I don’t
blame her! I’m guilty myself of liking Spider-Man: Into the
Spiderverse. Yes, it’s a superhero flick, but the quality of the
writing is much better than most from a storyteller’s perspective.
Indian
Raga Now: Asha Bhonsle:
Ah!
A new singer to check out! I will enjoy searching for her playlists
online!
Spotlight
On – Rahat Fateh Ali Khan
Now,
here’s a kind of music I’ve not heard much of, and this entry
suggests listening at least from curiosity if not spiritual interest.
Suryasaptami:
The
festival of the Sun God? Makes perfect sense to me to honor the Sun,
which even non-believers will rightly acknowledge as the source of
energy for all surface-dwelling life on Earth. Without, it, this tiny
world would be dark, and it’s surface life quickly freeze to death,
spinning endlessly and dead in the void!
Theme
for Magh: Versatility:
One:
This is an almost surreal image, of what looks like a goddess bearing
a lunar crescent walking through a field of flowers above the spiral
of the galaxy, and worlds in the distance.
Two:
A quote-pic showing ships at sea and a young woman in the foreground.
I like this one!
Three:
17 syllable verse extolling the things about the world that make life
worth the effort of living!
Four:
7x2 diamond verse in praise of difference, in ourselves and others,
that makes the human experience so rich!
Five:
Here is a frightening look at a world where everyone is the same,
shades of the Borg, or Doctor Who’s Cybermen, but with ordinary
people!
Six:
This is verse celebrating the diversity of humans, warning of the
opposite possibility in a less pleasant and so much more boring
world.
Seven:
A piece celebrating diversity in the human species, and the fact that
we must learn to coexist rather than clash over arbitrary differences
and petty disagreements.
Reformers
vs Dramabaz:
Cartoon
meme of the efforts of reformers being twisted and subverted for less
than ethical purposes!
So,
that’s it for this Magh’s eZine issue! May you flourish and
prosper, and in
abbreviated
Soruggon, Tf. Tk. Tts, Oh, just do well, all, and take care!
