Naandaan Troy. I’m back this issue, to review Agnijaat’s Shraban
1426 eZine. So, please join me as we take a look at more of the
Authoress’ creations!
Indie
Author Speaks – Few Tips – 3:
Seeking
out our dreams in life is a good thing, but we need financial
security as well. Here, we’re given what I think sound advice to
keep to what makes us enough to live on while waiting for that one
big break in life, which may or may not actually come. So much good
fortune is an elusive thing, and we must make do.
From
the Quill of Femme Sole: Role Models:
Potential
role models are everywhere, so here, we are advised to be choosy, and
only select from those who are real people who do real good, not mere
celebrities who are famous for being famous, or somesuch!
India
now: Cleanness:
The
Authoress gives a horror story of nasty critters, and
nigh-indestructible ones too! Having been in apartments for many
years in a similar predicament, and having engaged in chemical
warfare to get rid of them, this feels very close to home, to me
literally. I feel the horror, and the disgust, she conveys!
My
Pen: Pseudo-scholars
Here,
the Authoress gives her view of online video lectures involving one
too many scatological references, obscene language, as well as
excessive talk of other gross bodily functions as well.
Wicked
Animals:
Here
the Authoress gives us the top ten creatures, with humans as tenth on
the list, that deceptively, and I might add, diabolically, serve as
minions and vehicles of ancient spirits and other nasty beings
of…pure eeevil! It even now makes me look a little more
suspiciously at cute, innocent-looking kitties, especially the
tricksy Mister Eccles!
Spotlight
on: Rajesh Chaurasia
This
is excellent! A good chance discovery, I think as I listen to his
work while typing this, with link below. It’s anyone’s guess how
long the YouTube post will be still available. It’s good to expose
myself to more Classical artists as things go. Good find!

Window
to West: Awesome Lorax
Hmm.
I’ve enjoyed Dr. Seuss books as a child, and found his character
designs fun and whimsical. The Authoress here gives us a film of one
of his best characters, though I prefer the original 2-D art style to
computer generated imagery. Do give this one a look on your movie
rental or streaming platform of choice!
Sweet
Memories: fireflies
Fireflies
are beautiful at night, and here the Authoress speaks of her
experience with them in Kamalpur. it must have been magical to see
them swarming in droves in the dark!
Festival
This Month: Hariyali Teej
This
is kind of cool! I don’t recall hearing about this before! I love
reading about Indian festivals, as the very first I found out about
is the Tamil festival of Pongal, on an episode of the old Cosmos
series in 1980. Sagan was talking about the cosmological ideas of the
ancient Indians, mentioning the northward Gupta empire at its height
as a golden age of learning and science, and a powerful contributor
to what later became Western science.
Theme
for Shraban:
With
[1] a cinqku on water as the source of life, then [2] a haiku on
water’s beauty, [3] a cinquain, on rain over a lake,[4] a quintilla
on a browning, dry leaf, [5] a quintain on fishermen going to sea by
dawn, [6] a diamond verse on the beauty of sky and ocean, and [7] a
seventeen verse, on the duality and oneness of two opposing elements,
the theme this month is water, as a crucial part of our planet and
its life!
This
is it for now. I’m on to review this eZine’s Bhadra 1426 issue,
and following that, Ashwin’s!
So,
join me next time, and until then…
…Vanakkam,
and in abbreviated Soruggon…
…Tf.
Tk. Tts!
