Chaitra 1426, March 2020
Hi
friends, let us begin!
The
ezine begins with a tribute to Kalidasa, I have read Bengali
translation of few of his works and he was one of those writers that
made me ache to learn Sanskrit well enough to understand his works!
Life had other plans! He is as famous as Shakespeare is in English
world and equally or more revered. I have read his biography too,
reading one more time is quite alright for me!
Glory
days by saptarchi:
S speaks out for so many of
us through his/her works! What have these politicians done to you
Bengal! The glory of India past!
Masai
by Brieuc Martin Onraet: Not
at all fond of hunters, unless of course they fight with bare hands!
So this month’s piece was not fun at all, loved the pix though! Mr.
Onraet certainly have lived quite a life!
Vikrama
aur betala by Raghunandan Kuppuswamy: great
instalment Mr. Kuppuswamy, now I will be waiting for next month to
read what happens next! Ha!
Gardens
of Sarusammog by Troy David Loy:
Another fascinating piece by Mr. Loy, the description of Saru is
quite fun, cute and intimidating too!
Never
go back by Dom Collucci:
Wise words. If only we could turn back the clock! Life is just like
that, once you have moved forth there is no turning back! Great words
of wisdom Mr. Collucci.
Bitter
Pill dose 28 by Bitter Pill: politics 4:
Politicians in general are repulsive, don’t know if Indians are
exceptionally bad or they all are peas of same pod excluding a few!
They really stink!
Clippings
by Freya Pickard: This
sounds like a great newsletter, I will subscribe or ask Agni to give
me her copies!
The
shearer by Pat Ritters: Well
finally the officer shared the news to the man how he ended up in
jail, good thing is he was not imprisoned, just restrained!
Dirkball
by Robert Sherriff: cute
pic.
In the end
I will talk about Agni’s works in short-I have been requested by
her to do that, to highlight the work of other authors in
Agnishatdal, I will talk about her works in Agnijaat.
Treats:
Two lovely
shots- one from holi and the other one from her photography trip!
In the
treats section Agnijaat and Agnishatdal Book 11 links have been
provided.
Final
life by Andrew Mowere:
Fantasy story, will have to check it out and see if I can get a copy
to read! The interview with the author was really great as usual.
Love to know about the person writing the things!
Love
continues from within by
Dom Collucci-Love Mr. Collucci’s works, so I am pretty sure the
book will be a treasure trove!
Pikatron
by Troy David Loy sounds like a great reading material with fractals
as added beauty!
SBs’
book in amazon, sounds
good! Will be checking on them, maybe grab a copy and critique them
too!
Kalkaprasad
Maharaj- Never heard his
name. How callous we are when it comes to our talents! Look at
YouTube it is filled with Western artists and their works! Wish we
were like them!
Haunting
hour: Have watched a few
episodes in YouTube, they are really great! Absolutely loved them.
Hafiz
Ali Khan- So he is Ustad
Amjad Ali Khan’s father. Will check out YouTube if there is any
piece by him.
Youtubia-Frankenstein-
Will check out! Thanks for adding a bit about the story.
True
Treasure Carl Sagan: He
absolutely is!
Golgappa
is absolutely delicious! My mouth waters when I think about it!
Minutes
Together: this month’s
story ventriloquism was scary and tragic.
Loved the
Bengali poem and the hindi poem both. Thank you for adding my work in
your ezine Agni.
Chandbiwi
was in our history book, she certainly was brave and inspiring!
Kamoda-
thought provoking story! Can’t say I don’t feel sad for the
daitya!
Words-
butterflies- do you know someone that does not loves butterflies? A
cute pic made the post perfect.
Ponga
Pandit- another good tip!
The
sketches all through the ezine were pretty!
That is it
I guess! See you again next month, and thank you Agni/Sharmishtha for
translating my works!
Yours
sincerely,
Labanya
