vanakkam. naandaan Troy. It’s time for Magh’s critique of
Agnishatdal, and I’ve such sights to show you – without creepy
puzzle-boxes!
Let
Us Begin….
Our virtual trip to India Lovely pic this issue, with women carrying
jugs atop their heads, from what seems to be near a local well or
other watering source. A good selection of colors!
Hemchandra
It’s always cool to read of interesting scholars, and this man
counts as such. I wonder how his work compares to, say, that of
Nagarjuna, and his tetralemma-based logics?
That
Strange Circus
Show Saptarchi asks a question of the usefulness, or its lacking, of
strutting politicians!
Masai:
2 of 4
I’m impressed that the Masai have held onto their culture as they
have. Brieuc adds further details to this story of a people little
understood by most Westerners!
Vikram
aur Betal Part 1:
Raghu A wise king is told stories by a quick-witted ghost, and in
this tale, an evil ascetic seeks to gain supernatural powers, kill
that same king and rule the world! Does the king prevail? I enjoyed
this muchly.
Bitter
Pill Dose 27: Politics
BP discusses the rule by red cadres in Bengal, and a terrifying look
at the state’s past, and foreboding vision of the near future of
WB!
The
authoress reviews the book Logan’s
Time
and interviews its author Dayna Leigh Chesser this issue! Cool!
Royal
Marriage
from Agnimalya Patreon A complex romantic situation develops between
the kingdom of simians and the kingdom of jackals when the Prince of
jackals runs from an arranged marriage and falls for another girl.
Who is it that REALLY lives happily ever after in this tale? Got a
real tickle out of this one from the ending!
Khola
akash
I really enjoyed Labanya’s poem from this issue, as well as SB’s
Bengali and Hindi poems, particularly the first,
“Brishti”
The
Authoress’s painting this issue, “Saraswatipuja”
shows the Goddess sitting on a lotus attended by a swan. Liked this
one a lot!
Republic
Day
This painting has an ominous message, told with only a few words and
a pair of eyes!
Glimpses
of Past: Ahmad Shah Abdali
He was persistent, I’ll give him that, but there’s something
seriously messed up when a man’s hobby is compulsive serial
invasions!
Story
from Ved and Puran: Wayward Son
A pious man falls into arrogance, and is sent to learn from many
teachers, each important in his journey, though he grasps it not at
first. Does he finally get the meaning behind it all? Amazingly fun
to read!
Ponga
Pandit 13 The evil teacher
plots to train his students in teamwork, but teamwork to do the WRONG
thing – coordination in service to evil deeds!
So,
here we are! I’ll be back very soon for Falgun’s Twins, and until
then, I say, nanri, and bid you… …vanakkam.
