Agnijaat Chaitra 1426, March 2020


Indie Author Speaks 12: Quite liked the editing tips shared by Agni, they all are quite good and should be kept in mind. If you edit your own writing or hire someone to edit it for you, or someone does it for you!

FTQFS: A scary reality in conservative societies, where men can’t directly approach and seduce women they hire women to lure women out to them! Eternal and tragic reality!

Techbabble: Well, just read the forums, these days customer care executives are losing their ethics, manners and expertise steadily all over the country!

The unexpected: Sometimes life teaches us viciously to save a penny for rainy day! Like the thing happened to Agni.

SOS: Many of the miseries caused to us are by other human beings, not luck or fate, that is a sure truth, and quite often by those we trust deeply!

WOW: Very true, if only I could conquer half of myself!

History of India: Interesting piece on early Aryan civilization. Though these days many historians claim that Aryans are not outsiders but Dravidians evolved.

Fun and Frolic section:

Confessions of an alcoholic by Pat Ritter: Sounds like a great story, from which many can learn, the ones who are on the brink of alcoholism or the ones that already are! It is a horrible addiction.

Agnijaat and Agnishatdal Book 12: Books will be published in early May, will be waiting.

Pikatron September 2018 critique by Editor: Will have to get the newsletter from Agni.

10 unforgettable movies: Have watched a few, will check out the rest.

Indian Raga Now:

K.L. Sehgal- He was awesome.

Utpal Dutt- I have watched him in many hindi movies and few Bengali movies he rocks!

Tinkerbell and never beast: Will have to try my luck and see if I can get the movie.

Mother nature: Kolkata chokes me too, but what can we do about it?

Youtube channel: Already checked them all out.

Storytime:

Flying monkeys: Short and hilarious!

Ramnavami: We Bengalis really don’t worship Ram. There are many that worship Krishna though! He was a very noble man if not husband, that part is for sure!

Theme: Sun- a lovely compilation of painting and poems about sun, the paintings are specially cheerful.

The cartoon babu shakespeare: You will see them everywhere in India and on internet! Just tell them that English is not your mother tongue, or if Indian then you have studied in vernacular medium! The scariest ones are those who themselves don’t know English and try to force their English on others!

In the end quite enjoyed the Ezine, and its colourful sketches/paintings specially!

That is it I guess! See you again next month, and thank you Agni/Sharmishtha for translating my works!

Yours sincerely,
Labanya

Agnishatdal Poush 1426 Critique by Troy David Loy

Agnishatdal Poush 1426 Critique: Agnishatdal Poush 1426, December 2019 https://gumroad.com/l/umPGr https://shoptly.com/i/mon by Troy David Loy https://www.amazon.com/author/troyloy iravu vanakkam. naandaan Troy. Welcome to the Poush 1426 review of Agnishatdal! Here are a few of the outstanding features for this issue… First there’s… … Let us Begin… Our Virtual Trip to India This painting shows a young woman leaning, her back to a tree, while a small fishing boat travels past on the river in the background. Bharatendu Harishchandra So, here is one whose linguistic influence was deep and far-reaching. I must look for any published works of his that remain in print, and I suspect that these are more than a few sources I can look on. Rupjibi and Kalambiji Saptarchi criticizes the intellectual failures of modern Indian movies made for money, not the writer’s craft. Masai 1 of 4 Brieuc begins this series on the Masai people...

Scott Hastie, new face in Agnishatdal!

  Scott Hastie is a full-time Scottish born writer, based in the UK - he lives and works in tranquil surroundings in the English countryside, some twenty miles north of London. Primarily a poet, Scott also has had one novel - 'Reunion' published, as well as several lavishly illustrated local history books. Ten of his books remain in print today - principally his two early signature volumes of poetry: 'Selected Poetry' & 'New Poetry', first published in the 1990's - together with showcases for newer equally distinctive work, such as the beautiful and soulful 'Meditations' first published in the Autumn of 2013. Scott's current poetry is very much a positive and sparkling affirmation of human potential, with a growing emphasis on spiritual awareness. Given the impact of this more recent output and its fast growing cross-cultural popularity around the world, a much more definitive and comprehensive hardback collection of al...

Agnishatdal Kartik 1427, October 2020 critique by SB

  Agnishatdal Kartik 1427, October 2020 https://gumroad.com/l/Agbdb https://shoptly.com/i/buji By your good old editor! Few words about the works of my much cherished authors. So the critiques will be honest, short and sweet! Kalipuja by Labanya: What a beauty. It captured the purity and beauty of Kalipuja perfectly. Will Bengal shine again by saptarchi : This question haunts all Bengalis that love their culture! Things have improved a bit under TMC but with saffron brigade’s eyes glued on Bengal the hearts are fluttering! If they ever come to power that will be the darkest day for Bengal. Fogline by Brieuc Martin Onraet 7: Another piece of hilarious conversation between those who have created human beings and their boss. I wonder how human beings would have looked if they had feathers! Faithmark by Raghunandan Kuppuswamy: Quite an interesting story, well, instant reward for listening to a holy man. Hope he won’t become greedy and ruin the bless...
