Agnimalya November 2019 Critique by Troy
David Loy
Justice
Rumi meets a stranger who regularly attends her
performances, a mysterious man who seems quite smitten with her. He
seems rather odd, not the typical bar customer, but polished and
cultured, and has an unusual request: to read the diary of a woman
dead by her own hand after the schemes of another! But is this man
truly fallen for her, or is there some other motive? Would like to
see a follow-up story where the motive plays out!
Kamal
Kamal is deceived by promise of marriage to another,
another who has no intent to fulfill said promise. Her pregnancy from
this sham results in a daughter. She returns to her hometown an
outcaste from society and years later, leaves to marry elsewhere.
What of her daughter, many years later? She’s met by Medha, who
knew Kamal, and a marriage between the daughter, Sujata, and Medha’s
son is arranged.
Karuna
Preeti encounters a bundle in a local park, thinking it kittens, but
in fact an abandoned baby. After years of pining for a child, what
does she make of this? After adopting the child, years pass, and she,
named Karuna, takes up her mother’s trade in a design studio.
Karuna meets someone, Jay Sen, an artist she’s long admired; what
results from this? With the disapproval of Jay’s family, Jay wishes
marriage, which goes through anyway, and things shift for Jay’s
parents. This one ends nicely for all involved!
Kashish
Kashish and Suman are sisters, and when Deepak notices and then
begins seeing Kashish, to the consternation of Suman, and the initial
disapproval of his parents, does Deepak overcome this obstacle? This
one I rather enjoyed.
King
meets Queen Tapesh and Jishnu gossip about a suspected
murderer of two previous wives getting married again, but does the
one suspected get another opportunity to murder again from this third
marriage? It doesn’t end favorably for him, as his third wife is
better prepared!
Kitso
Mili finds an abandoned kitten, and chooses to rescue him. The kitten
turns out to be rather feisty but develops a close friendship with
Mili’s dog. Does he stay or leave as he grows? I liked this one!
Komal
Shubham is married to Rani, each the opposite of the other, and
neither happy with the arrangement. Their young daughter, Komal,
holds them together, but for how long? When Rani leaves both father
and daughter, there is at first relief, and then Shubham meets an old
college flame, and love is rekindled for both.
Life goes on Smita meets young Mishtu, a child of her
neighbor Jayanta, with a complex past marriage, and as they get to
know each other, things get interesting. This one was good.
Kiss
the frog The Infamous 3 gossip of the success of young
Karuna in her marriage to one Amrut. Their object of ridicule is the
froglike Sohan, who ends up failing to prevent the marriage despite
trying. His description reminds me of some of the seedier movie roles
played by the late Peter Lorre
