Agnijaat
Boisakh 1427, April 2020
This
is the first issue of Bengali New Year 1427. Well, it began in
lockdown and hope and I pray it will end better, far better than the
way it began! Wish you all a very happy Bangla Nabobarsho-Bengali New
Year.
Indie
Author Speaks 12:
Good
tips for Indie authors. Being Indie author is not all about
independent right on what one can publish, it is also a solid
responsibility too! Quite solid I will say!
FTQFS:
Oh
yes, the way human beings express their lust and label it as “love”
is insult to the feeling! If it could I am sure it would have
committed suicide!
Techbabble:
I
so agree, I am still one of those who prefer a book, newspaper over
online reading or offline reading. I do wish they will find a
substitute of paper so we could read without feeling guilty! They are
manufacturing weapons like popcorn but can’t create a
paper-substitute and boast of their supremacy! Human beings!
The
kingdom of the fallen:
Do I agree with Agni? Yes! I have spent most of my life in communist
regime and I know damn well that low-castes rule Bengal, not so
called high-castes when it comes to real life, in religious life the
upper-castes have upper hand of course, but most of them being
liberal don’t practice it, the hapless low-castes on the other hand
practice their muscles really good in real world!
SOS:
So true! Human beings are really insufferable mostly. Some you can
tolerate, very few like or love, the rest… well the rest are just
different degrees of….****
WOW:
So
beautiful! If only we could see God in human beings [majority of
them]! In the rest it is easy to see God and God’s beauty!
History
of India:
That
is a new one. I did not know that Indian history is divided like
that- Hindu, Islamic and Christian era. Ha! Wow! Well, I know very
well that how good Hindus were at record-keeping so….
Human
beings:
Well, I think very few people bear their ethnicity on their
countenance or behavior. Most of us are quite similar. It is when we
speak we give out our nationality or other things. Some people are
not transparent even then. So, it certainly does not surprises me
that people can’t assess Agni by looking at her or talking with her
a little.
Fun
and Frolic section:
Dream
Angel by Pat Ritter: Sounds
like a very interesting read for author’s admirers or fans. I
always love this type of stories where authors open up their hearts
and share their views.
Lucifer’s
liegemen:
Sounds like an interesting book.
Pikatron
october 2018 critique by Editor:
Will have to get the newsletter from Agni.
An
open letter to Disney:
I agree, after watching quite a few really good movies made by
Indies, and many good illustrators and animators in YouTube I will
really agree with Agni that if big media houses spend a percentage of
their profit to encourage these talents instead of churning out same
stories again and again or repeating their own old works viewers will
be mighty glad!
Indian
Raga Now:
Preeti
Sagar-
She sang quite well. Have heard very few songs by her though but her
voice is very sweet.
Hrithik
Roshan and Shahrukh Khan-
It really feels good when people like these who are quite safe in
their own lives and can easily forget others come out and help others
again and again. Like Bill Gates! Hope they will be blessed by God!
The
night before Christmas:
Love the Christmas gifts Jack Frost doled out to kids.
Chaitra
Shot:
lovely photo! Wish I was there to see that halo! The rainbow is quite
visible! Cool!
Youtube
channel:
Already checked them all out.
Storytime:
Swarm:
Will love it if it happens!
Ponchishe
Boisakh:
Tagore was the only one of his own kind. So are his works!
Theme:
fairy-
a lovely compilation of paintings. No verses or prose this month
though! Love pretty pictures so it works fine for me!
The
cartoon Mr Stick:
Quite real! Sitting at home watching people on the street from the
very first day of lock-down, and reading about them in newspaper…
all I can say is absolutely true words spoken Mr. Stick.
In
the end quite enjoyed the Ezine, and its colourful sketches/paintings
specially they are refreshing and pretty!
That
is it I guess! See you again next month, and thank you
Agni/Sharmishtha for translating my works!
Yours
sincerely,
Labanya
