By your good old editor, few words about the works of my much cherished authors. So the critiques will be short and sweet!

Well this month we have a new kid in Ezine, Labanya, she writes in Bengali only, I will translate her works for her. She is pretty adamant about “Writing in Bengali only”. I was like that once so I don’t mind translating for her.

Kalipuja by Labanya: Labanya’s first Bengali poem is for Mother Goddess Kali, her puja is coming up real soon and I loved the poem a lot! Check out my clumsy translation that will be added with it.

Berlin 2: Part 7 by Brieuc Martin Onraet: This month’s piece is a grim reminder of world war, its ghastly side.

Games Ghost Play 1 by Raghunandan Kuppuswamy: Now this is one thundering start! A ghost walking towards you in a desolate road in night is scary enough but walking towards you in broad daylight, well that is certainly super creepy.

Shad 3 by Troy David Loy: A fascinating story of a runaway warrior, from a clan that destroyed weaklings and absorbed their existences. That is one scary tribe!

Happiness is a minority by Dom Collucci: a poem very close to my heart, people who squabble and judge are rarely the happy lot, and at present they certainly are vast majority! Those who have stayed away from this crowd willingly are the happy lot!

Bitter Pill dose 24 by Bitter Pill: Religion: This month BP shares views about devil worshippers and I will have to agree with the author, this is a disturbing trend and if you believe media it is in the rise in West! Not a very healthy mindset for society!

Clippings by Freya Pickard: This month you will read the critique of Freya’s fantastic newsletter June 2018 by your good old editor!

The Drovers by Pat Ritters: This month Pat tells something more about Harry, it is indeed a fascinating story well told if you believe me, if not then prove me wrong! Read it and tell me it is not!

Dirkball 7 by Robert Sherriff: Cute painting a cat sitting on a branch quite in a regal pose and listening to a squirrel!

Farce in the name of justice 1 : Saptarchi: This is quite a trend in India, nothing new I believe, otherwise corruption would not have turned into a quagmire into this country! Be an honest journalist or cop and you will die or face worse! The message is loud and clear to media and police force since independence! It happens because of corruption of majority!


I believe that will be it for my critique as an editor, you will have to read the rest in Ezine. Of course there is truckloads of more works there!

heading back to caves!

  Step by step our country is being led back to primitive times, back in the times when men lived in caves and if they fancied a woman they dragged her by hair and forced themselves upon them [gangrape of a child in Hathras, U.P. the perpetrators were helped widely by U.P. Govt.'s police and BJP supporters, trying to nail the girl's family for her death, calling it all a hoax.]. If any other man dared to look at their women they were clobbered to death or cause serious physical injury. The U.P. govt [where women certainly are not safe, and most probably still live the life of second class citizen in most places] recently legalized an outrageous law [blaming muslims of course, wicked fellows trying to steal Hindu girls in the name of Love Zehad] that makes women's bodies the properties of their family, their larger family, the state and the police but not theirs! If an adult Hindu girl decides to marry a Muslim man she will have to get approval of cops and he...

Shubho Chhatpuja!
