Sharmishtha Basu’s Pen n Brush November 2019 Critique by Troy David Loy

Sharmishtha Basu’s Pen n Brush November 2019 Critique by Troy David Loy

Love almost lost Dibyo falls for Supti, and the more this dawns on him, the more he struggles to cope with the stress of suppressing it as his health declines. When Supti tires of her treatment at Dibyo’s office, she opts to leave, to escape Dibyo’s toxic parents. But Dibyo has a plan, and not one his parents would prefer, to save his love for Supti.

Love confessed A young man declares his love for the girl of his dreams, a declaration that turns out well, as she feels likewise for him. This one ends well.

Love is in the air Shuchi, Joy, and Tinni are friends, and Tinni notices that one loves the other. Will she succeed as matchmaker between them? An enjoyable short story.

Love net How to entrap strong people? A defense minister describes his plan to entrap them with love and lust through handpicked seducers and seductresses. What thoughts does this idea lead to in the prime minister? I’d say suspicious ones!

Magic Reva has a problem involving toxic siblings who exploit her at every turn. What does she do to escape this, to stand on her own, to actualize herself as a fulfilled person? Seeking work at a local orphanage, she draws her plans for a better life.

Love twists Maitreyee spurns Amal, for his uncultured behavior in public, and when he marries another instead, befriends his bride. The two friends discuss love, friendship and their meaning when Maitreyee herself marries.

Manager Mr. Dwivedi is in a business fix, and plots to change that by arrangement with one Mr. Jain. What scheme hatches between the two of them, with strings attached? Dwivedi’s “niece” looks like the solution to his problems!

Mandukraj Two women converse on the intrusive and venomous Vinod, “King of the Frogs” after he attempts a campaign of vindictive behavior. If there be a thing such as Karma, might “Mandukraj” actually have become a frog? The one gawking at the two while they speak might have something to say on that, could it speak!

Tiasa An accident leaves Chaiti disabled, and bitter, but young Tiasa can help, and help she does, making Chaiti much better for it despite her scarred persona!

Girlfriend slayer Debendra is disabled, with a twisted leg, with his mother extremely protective of him, and even in manhood is shy and lonely. What happens when he meets the lovely Mira? Will love blossom, or will it die before it can truly get started?

Miss Bittermouth Seema is intensely disliked at her work office for verbal bullying, and the four young women she tormented give her a parting gift after they arrange to leave the office for another with friendlier staff. What will this gift be? Very amusing, this one!

Meaning of life Mohini is in her forties and yet unmarried, so how does she create meaning in her life despite her circumstances? This one was heartwarming.

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...
