Agnishatdal Boisakh 1427, April 2020

Hi friends, let us begin!

The ezine begins with a tribute to Lal Bahadur Shastri, I am quite an admirer of this man with grits, and am pretty sure that he was murdered.

Farce in the name of justice by saptarchi: These are the news items that make conscientious people without the heart of Mother Teresa wish human beings are wiped out of earth for good!

Fogline by Brieuc Martin Onraet: Mr. Onraet is a great storyteller, and an interesting mytho-sci-fi is in making I think. The names of the characters at least hint that! What is inside that lab?

Vikrama aur betala by Raghunandan Kuppuswamy: Smart sculptor. Power mostly corrupts so it is smart to stay away from power-plays for your own sake! Great story Mr. Kuppuswamy!

Gardens of Sarusammog 2 by Troy David Loy: Saru meets Korravi! Great piece Mr. Loy, Saru is like selfish giant of a story I have read as kid. No one enters my garden uninvited!

The dark made its mark by Dom Collucci: Wise words. Everything indeed came out of pitch darkness! Great words of wisdom Mr. Collucci.

Bitter Pill dose 29 by Bitter Pill: politics 5: Politicians indeed use media as their court poets in India. Indian media is thoroughly corrupted, despicably corrupted!

Prophets of God by Brendan: This is one hell of a piece of writing! We human beings will certainly either kill or perform character-assassination if Jesus or Buddha shows up to save us! Look at those who have tried to warn us against high and mighty crooks these days- Edward Snowden for example.

The shearer by Pat Ritters: Well the jailbird walks out of the jail, the bartender refuses him entrance, admonished by him he scampers away to his lodging. What next?

Treats:

five lovely shots- from Agni’s photography trip!

In the treats section Lucifer’s liegemen links and short description have been provided.

Click goes the shears by Pat Ritter: short description of links of the book about shearers of Australia, sounds quite interesting.

Love of my life by Dom Collucci-Sounds like a warm, romantic read.

Pikatron by Troy David Loy sounds like a great reading material with fractals as added beauty!

SBs’ book in amazon, The heart beats on – a collection of poetry, sounds good! Will be checking on them, maybe grab a copy and critique them too!

Sitara Devi- Her name I have heard and if I am not wrong watched her performance in TV too! Will have to check out in YouTube to see if there are any!

A haunting: Watched quite a few episodes in TV, they are spooky for sure! Their quality is better than many horror movies too!

Balraj Sahni- he is one of my favorite actors in Hindi movies. He has performed in many black and white movies, and was a really natural actor for sure!

Youtubia-One step beyond- Will check out! Thanks for adding a bit about the story. You forgot to change the title though, I was surprised a bit but then thankfully the name was right at the beginning of the post.

Minutes Together: this month’s story “You drank my poison” was Karma dishing out the right dish to the right recipient I guess.

Loved the Bengali poem and the hindi poem both. Thank you for adding my work in your ezine Agni.

Sukanya and Sage Chavan- A story that might have been tragic took a lovely turn, cute story.

Words- difference- Agreed, a good camera does magic on photos.

Scaredy Stick- This type of incidents makes pandemic-time scarier! An educated [highly educated ones] struts about the entire city’s crowded places with their infected son, spreading a deadly disease.

The sketches all through the ezine were pretty! Very colourful and lovely.

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: 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

Shubho Jagaddhatripuja!

    Shubho Jagadhdhatripuja, May our worlds be blessed forever. Wish you all a very blessed time ahead. Love.

A piece from The Soul Devourers Now available in shoptly as Agnimalya Book 9 https://shoptly.com/sharmishthabasu   "The names that our parents gave us were Agni (Fire) and Vari (water), yours was Agni, mine Vari, based on our natures, of course; I don’t think you would mind if I call you Agni." Her sister asked.   She shrugged.   "Who are these people?" she asked.   "These people were once human beings. Their greed was too strong, so strong it tempted them into selling their soul to the devil. There is a temple in Gajmahal, where they worship the devil, and have been for centuries. These soul devourers –– yes, that’s what they are called because that’s what they become capable of devouring souls–– souls of their victims are their life-force. That keeps them alive, as some of them are centuries old. Their head priest was one of the first priests of the temple, and has done it for centuries now."   "These p
