Well corona is getting more and more comfortable in the country with each passing week, so, we can quite guess now that we will have to get used to its existence for a few years at the least! What a pity! In the end nature showed again she can snuff us out anytime any day!

Indie Author Speaks 12: I too wish I had read this article when I was in school. It truly is a good way to motivate yourself to keep a tab on your goals, distribute them in weekly, monthly and annual categories and then see what you have done with them at the end of each period, or a little before ending!

FTQFS: I really don’t believe that every human being is worthy or capable of love. So romance should be targeted and it should be handled with decency.

Techbabble: True, MS Word is becoming erratic and bossy and many a times annoying!

Lockdown biased and Kolkata blues: Agree with both. Lockdown is followed by only conscientious and intelligent people, the rest are following it only if they are scared that cops will get them. As for the dismal condition of Kolkata, Bengal, India, World… human civilization… peas of the same pod!

SOS: Life indeed is a very beautiful journey filled with surprise joys!

WOW: Last month’s WOW is repeated this month, it indeed is quite good.

History of India: quite interesting to see Indian history through the eyes of an non-Indian, can’t say I can understand all that they are saying or believe, but fun anyways.

Misunderstood: Interesting perspective, terrorism has given Muslims such a bad reputation that it has absolutely tarnished their image. Even though anyone can guess that huge majority of Muslims have nothing to do with terrorism yet terrorists have become the icon of their culture!

Fun and Frolic section:

His life worth living by Pat Ritter: This one sounds like a great read! The true experiences of a person who has lived through world war 2, Pat is a great storyteller so the book must be amazing!

Urania’s Table 1: Sounds fascinating!

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

An open letter to horror movie makers: Well, they truly are running out of ideas and the capacity to scare people with story or direction. That is for sure. Wonder if they will recover after Corona jolt! Maybe they can use this break to write and plan great ghost stories!

Indian Raga Now:

Shobha Gurtu- She is quite good.

Geeta Bali- She was adorable.

Did you hear that thing about Morgans: Hugh Grant is really good in comedy roles. This movie is hilarious!

Boisakh Shot: lovely photos!

Youtube channel: Already checked them all out.

Storytime:

Tale 1 from Urania’s Table: Loved the sci-fi fantasy a lot.

Jamai Shashthi: This one too is certainly going to get devoured by Corona!

Theme: Angels- pretty paintings.

The cartoon Mr Stick: Good point, what is the use of staying indoors if a makeshift shop is opened right outside your house and its customers are thronging there!

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

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...
