The fourth birthday of Agnijaat was on 17th July! May you live to be a hundred!

The ezine starts with reminder of upcoming Rakhi and it is really early in August this year, so thanks!

Indie Author Speaks 14: Blurb writing certainly is an art. Few can master it.

FTQFS: Agreed, smiling is a good habit, if you are surrounded by nasty grouches smile in heart.

Techbabble: Agreed again! Can’t they do something about these slippery laptops and tablets? The smart-phones are slippery too but we always use cover on them something we can’t do with laptops or tablets. So for God’s sake use materials that are not slippery!


Corona diaries and Kolkata blues: Covid 19 certainly is proving the incompetence of Indian administration again and again. They can’t handle it from any angle, the spread, the healthcare or taking care of needs of those struck by it and its effects.

SOS: Rest certainly is often snatched away by hyperactive brain.

Intriguing Tales: Arrogance certainly is shortcut to fall, sages left us some hints - Gods can fall because of arrogance, forget about men.

History of India: this month is about geographical division of India. Trip down memory lane! We had to memorize these things!

My Pen: First line of defense: It is a harsh truth, the way we treat the pillars of society in India is a real shame! We will feel ashamed if we think about the way they are treated, not because we are poor nation but because our elected employees don’t care about them or us, all they care about is their own bank-balance.

Fun and Frolic section:

The proposition by Pat Ritter: This one sounds like a nice story again. Hope the ending is positive.

SBPnB Book 7 ocean blue: Sounds like a beautiful book with lots of illustrations.

Pikatron January 2019 critique by Editor: Will have to get the newsletter from Agni.



Dr. Sleep: Well, horror movies these days really feel like rants of depraves. This one is no exception I guess.

Indian Raga Now:

Girija Devi- She is awesome! Heard quite a few of her songs in YouTube, will try more.

Marty Robbins- great singer!

Strange and deadly occurrences: Will have to check out the movie in YouTube.

Ashar Shot: lovely photos! That bird’s eyes looked like eyes of cyborgs! Ha! Maybe it was a spy in nature! A bird with google glass!

Youtube channel: Already checked them all out.

Storytime: He is back from Patreon: Loved the story, especially the ending.

Gayatri Jayanti: Well we Hindus certainly love to celebrate! I did not even know about this festival.

Theme: Dragons- really cute paintings.

The cartoon Mr Stick: Sad reality. The governments since independence have done nothing to improve the condition of poor of this country in legal ways, instead they turn their face when they turn into hoodlum and do illegal things as long as they harass common public it is fine with governments. Easy way out!

In the end quite enjoyed the Ezine, and its colourful sketches/paintings especially 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...
