Hi
friends, let us begin!
The
ezine begins with a tribute to Madhav, never heard his name, his
philosophy flew above my head but he has tried two noble things in
his life, eradication of devdasi system and offering dolls of dough
instead of animals in sacrifice.
Political
propaganda by saptarchi:
Next came Saptarchi with
another article I quite agree with, politics these days is more
theatrics than running a country. If you don’t believe me listen to
a few lectures of political leaders! Just like S I too feel sorry
that Indian Government did nothing to save Ganges or other
water-bodies in the country.
Fogline
by Brieuc Martin Onraet 3: I
really love the style of Mr. Onraet’s writing. Well, human beings
are 62% pig, good take!
When
Gold went on a trip by Raghunandan Kuppuswamy: That
is what you get for mutilating a corpse! No respect for dead! Just
like Hollywood horror movie characters! Good turn Mr. Raghu.
Liftoff
by Troy David Loy: Another
piece on Meera, her new alien spaceship is about to fly! Great piece
Mr. Troy.
Relativity
not reality… by Dom Collucci:
great poem Mr. Collucci, beautiful words of wisdom.
Bitter
Pill dose 32 by Bitter Pill: politics 7:
Politics was always dirty, Indian politics one of the dirtiest, and
BJP has taken it to lowest level, no other party in the world will be
able to compete with them methinks!
Crows
2 by Brendan: Great piece
by Mr. B, a beautiful description of a small piece of land untouched
by human hands and the connection of nature with her children is
beautifully captured in the piece. Rather enjoyed it!
The
shearer by Pat Ritters 4: Great
piece Mr. Ritter, rather enjoyed the personal touch of this piece,
cutting woods, stealing breads!
Treats:
Four lovely
shots- from Agni’s April photography.
The link
for videos on stories is certainly worth checking out. Wonder if
there is a YouTube channel too!
Confessions
of an alcoholic by Pat Ritter:
Sounds like another story with a message from Mr. Ritter. So many
families are destroyed by alcoholism!
Pikatron
by Troy David Loy sounds like a great reading material with fractals
as added beauty!
SBs’
book in amazon, A bouquet
of wild flowers – a collection of poetry, sounds good! Will be
checking on them, maybe grab a copy and critique them too!
Bade
Gulam Ali- I have heard his
name only, will check out the videos in YouTube.
Matt
Daemon: Is really
handsome! I have watched only few action movies by him and he is good
in all of them.
Naseeruddin
Shah- Naseeruddin Shah is
truly great actor. I have watched at least a dozen movies by him and
he is really great in majority of them.
Youtubia-Unsane
Will keep in mind to not watch it. I too get really angry when the
blurb of the book says exactly opposite of the content! But these
days people will do almost anything to sell their products!
Minutes
Together: this month’s
story is quite fascinating, a trip to an almost impossible land! A
story from Urania’s table 2, loved the description of the land and
its people.
Loved the
Bengali poem and the hindi poem both. Thank you for adding my work
Megh in your ezine Agni.
Dhruba-
This one is truly beautiful, I have forgotten the story of Dhruba,
thanks for the reminder.
TnW-
Handpicked- Sometimes God truly rejects our suicidal prayers! Lucky
us!
Scaredy
Stick- True again Mr. Stick, your fears are quite valid.
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
