SBPnB December 2019 Critique by Troy David Loy


SBPnB December 2019 Critique by Troy David Loy


Proposal A man proposes to his bride-to-be, and convinces her that he’s the one for her!

Puja Pujita Verma is hardly the nicest of women, and when she tries to have her way with the man of her dreams, her spoiled nature gets in the way, destroying his love for her, and her life with him.

Punishment There’s a triangle between Sabuj, Tannishtha, and Sneha, and much ugliness between the latter two! When Sneha tries to destroy Tannishtha and steal Sabuj, does the tide turn? What happens when Sabuj tells Tannishtha what’s going on? Most enjoyable!

Pure evil Two men discuss the plotting of an evil daughter, and her and her family’s destruction and poisoning death of a girl. One of those men is accused by the other of a plot to destroy the girl and others, and NOT without good reason!

Quagmire Sanjay and Seema have a problem: their love is almost universally reviled and punished by society. Soon, the one begins punishing the other as their love fades! Does Seema escape from Sanjay’s newfound cruelty?

Ragini A young girl from Bihar tries to make it big in the Kolkata film industry, but soon finds it less than she expected when she becomes the mistress of a second-string director! After finally hooking a man she truly loves, does she get her wish?

Ramesh Juhi and Ramesh are close, and when Juhi is struck by a car, Ramesh is the one who’s there for her. Does love blossom between them?

Random act of kindness 3.11.10 Haru in Mumbai likes to read, an act he’s frequently punished for while attending work at the kiln. Does Haru get a real chance to study, despite the poverty of his family?

Rashi Jayanta wants to marry Arindam’s younger sister, but his parents disagree, and want him to marry another instead! How does this turn out? Do the parents acquiesce?

Ratri Ratri is in love with her manager, Deependra, over the desires of Jatak, a millionaire, and Deependra’s boss. Does she win the prize of her heart, or does money sway her instead? I like how this one turns out!

Rebels Rajnagar is in trouble, as its king, Rudradaman, is aging and without heirs. There are dacoits about in the kingdom, and things are not looking well! When one of his ministers suggests that the people are in cahoots with the robbers, a lone man appears in the night to investigate, and finds this is true! Who is this man, and what is the fate of those villagers he looks into? I loved the way this ended, and it is easily my favorite from this issue! It has the feel of an Indian Fairy Tale!

Red heart Ramya has a problem: too much heart for most people! When Vishnu, a co-worker, shows interest in her, he seems sincere…for a time! Priti shows her what’s really going on with him, and it’s not a good thing for Ranya’s feelings!

Red roses Young Lekha is the de facto captive of a lecherous old owner of the theater where she works, but a much younger man has won her love! Do the two young ones elope, despite the vile desires of the old lecher? This one is a fitting end to this month’s collection!

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...
