  Agnishatdal Bhadra 1427 August 2020 ( https://shoptly.com/sharmishthabasu ) Critique by Labanya Agnishatdal Bhadra 1427 August 2020 https://gumroad.com/l/unxfo https://shoptly.com/i/b3ke Hi friends, let us begin! Shraban issue begins with tribute to legendary writer Michael Madhusudan Dutta. I have not read any of his works outside the ones that were in text book, am not a big fan of his writing, the only reason is I can’t understand his works! Paise hotel salesman by saptarchi : This is exactly the level to which Indian politicians have reduced themselves during last election and they have gone so much lower since then! Fogline by Brieuc Martin Onraet 5: It would have been nice if there had been no human babies, mother earth would have been really pleased! When Gold went on a trip by Raghunandan Kuppuswamy: This was a smart twist in the story, let us see where it leads the story. Split impunity by Troy David Loy: Dr. Jeckyl and Miss Hyd

  Agnijaat Bhadra 1427 August 2020 ( https://shoptly.com/sharmishthabasu ) https://gumroad.com/sharmishthabasu Critique by Labanya Agnijaat Bhadra 1427 August 2020 https://gumroad.com/l/JFobi https://shoptly.com/i/b3k4 The fourth birthday of Agnijaat was on 17 th July! The annual issues were received and read, the critiques are out! The ezine starts with reminder of upcoming Mahalaya, there is a malmas or a month in which there won’t be any auspicious activity after Mahalaya, so Durgapuja will happen in end October. I don’t recollect it happening ever before. Indie Author Speaks 15 : Genuine booklovers are vanishing from India, most probably the mindset of Indians has changed or they just picked up the habit from British. After all, had Indians been fond of reading books there would have been books in India. Lot more in no. before British showed up. FTQFS : Let the world be, precisely, no matter how much we wish or try we rarely can change others

Few words about the works of my much cherished authors. So the critiques will be honest, short and sweet! Bandi Pakhi by Labanya: Sad, heartbreaking poem. I really don’t like birds in cage these days. Really dislike people who keep them cages in too! Paise hotel salesman by saptarchi : My sentiments exactly. This is what Indian politicians have become, and now Indian public is getting what they have bought, stale, rotten government that can’t handle a crisis, rather prefers building temples over hospitals. Fogline by Brieuc Martin Onraet 5: Another fantastic episode of the brilliant story. This one is one of the best stories I have read lately. When Gold went on a trip by Raghunandan Kuppuswamy: Finally the old man got a smart idea, let

 Well, today is the birthday of one of those great souls every Hindu woman should be grateful to me [my personal opinion] for saving us from evil customs that was destroying us. May God bless you with the best blessings in heaven.

  Agnishatdal Book 12 25she Boisakh 2020 Citizen Null ( https://shoptly.com/sharmishthabasu ) https://gumroad.com/sharmishthabasu Critique by Sharmishtha Basu Agnishatdal Book 12, Ponchishe Boisakh 2020, citizen Null https://gumroad.com/l/RFwEa https://shoptly.com/i/bata Agnishatdal book 12 is sharing a few works of Citizen Null. I will admit in the very beginning that I seldom read about politics and sports, both of these topics bored me to death. So, I will just try to understand what is being said! Don’t count much on my expertise in this field. I know very little about USA’s current socio-political issues. Both feet grounded: Misguiding people, turning them against each other is how politicians rule! We just fail to understand their evil mindset. Returning to enlightenment value? : It is tragic how time after time one politician or other eggs people to slaughter each other and they reap the benefit of our fights! The challenge now and

Both feet grounded: I am not much aware of the political condition of USA, heck I don’t know much about Indian politics, but it seems misguiding people is the latest trick of politicians. Returning to enlightenment value? : This one is a scary piece, a story how people are being turned against each other AGAIN and AGAIN by politicians. The challenge now and ahead: no wonder #45 and Feku are buddies, their way are eerily similar. Should we punch Nazis?: The Nazis should be punched but not physically by exposing their intentions and the effect of their actions on society! When weaponized church conquers Government: It become

Arrogance is suicidal: is about arrogance you can guess, as per authoress arrogant people are actually pitiable. Don’t fully disagree. Vanity is worse: vanity truly is toxic, people without any quality actually believing that they are better than others! Oh boy! Mother earth’s verdict: Well authoress thinks mother nature too hate politicians! Pseudo scholars: They are all over the world these days, open any social media platform or media too you will see these people throwing their personal views in the garb of knowledge at others. It is almost impossible to distinguish truth from crafty lies these days! True Tragedy

  Agnishatdal Book 11, saraswatipuja 1427 ( https://shoptly.com/sharmishthabasu ) https://gumroad.com/sharmishthabasu Critique by SB Agnishatdal book 11 saraswatipuja 2020 Bitter Pill https://gumroad.com/l/wXRZN https://shoptly.com/i/oaz Agnishatdal Book 11 shares a set of works by author Bitter Pill. Twain Shall never meet- This article expresses author’s views against free mingling of good and bad, can’t say I don’t believe in it. This was one of the first things our parents taught us before they set us out to schools, don’t mingle with bad girls, sooner or later you will pick up their habits and ruin your life. These abused victims- We the Indians grew up listening to this hypocrisy- he is tortured, she is tortured, cleverly hiding the parts that contradict, not for betterment of society but for own social gains. So, yes, even if the whole world says that someone is abuse victim don’t blindly believe them. Test. Shapeshifters- Seen too many

Twain Shall never meet- Talks about BP’s belief in the words of old wisdom that said good and evil should not mingle too freely, too much. I sort of agree with that, because being good does not means we are saints, we too can get tempted and fall! These abused victims- Not everyone who is labeled a victim is always a victim, sometimes wolves do wear sheep skin to trick. Shapeshifters- In this world of stolen identities this one seems quite possible. Sita was a rare soul- Quite true, even though Indian women quite believe that they are angels incarnate, and men often say so if not believe, but in reality they are just human beings capable o

  Agnijaat Book 11 saraswatipuja 1427 ( https://shoptly.com/sharmishthabasu ) https://gumroad.com/sharmishthabasu Critique by Labanya agnijaat book 11, saraswatipuja 2020 https://gumroad.com/l/SsRFKT https://shoptly.com/i/oay Agnijaat Book 11 shares a set of quotes from the book, titled “From the quill of femme sole”. They share the authoresses’ views on the way single women and women in general are heckled in societies like ours. Most of the quotes will hit women directly in their heart. Any woman who has not been Miss goodie two shoes have faced these people in life and swallowed the bitter gulp again and again. Few have tried fighting back but most have suffered in silence. Liked quite a few of them very much.

  Sfulingo 4 17.7.2020 [Kindle] ( https://shoptly.com/sharmishthabasu ) https://gumroad.com/sharmishthabasu Critique by Labanya Sfulingo 4, 17.7.20 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CRPRYYH https://gumroad.com/l/nLAap https://shoptly.com/i/b3qa Sfulingo 4 the Kindle version contains a set of stories, without any illustration of course. Most of the stories are paranormal, sci-fi, one is a fun romance. I rather enjoyed the twelfth room, quite an interesting story for sure, loved the flow of the story and the story. “Cop-haters” was another piece that rather impressed me, loved reading all the stories, but these two were best! It was a thoroughly enjoyable read. Grab your copy and check it out yourself. It is really cheap too!

The book also contains a set of beautiful illustrations, quite a lot of them to be precise. There is not much to discuss about poetry I think, one should read them and feel them! I loved the way the mind of the authoress played, on same dates of two distant years. Maybe I will try it too! Write down a set of poems on a specific month every year and then repeat it next year. It can be quite fun! Thanks for the idea Agni.

  Agnidal 4 17.7.20 ( https://shoptly.com/sharmishthabasu ) https://gumroad.com/sharmishthabasu Critique by Labanya Agnidal 4, 17.7.20 https://gumroad.com/l/HRaoTO https://shoptly.com/i/b3po https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CRFBYQT Agnidal 4, the fourth annual edition of Agnishatdal contains the works and interviews of its authors. The Kindle issue is without illustration, the Gumroad and Shoptly issue is with illustration. Thanks a lot Sharmishtha for adding my poem “Khola Akash” in the books. Lyapunov’s children by Troy David Loy- It was a very realistic science fiction- showing human nature quite well I will say. The interview with the author was great to read. It is always delightful to know more and more about authors who are writing the stories for us. Vikram and Vetal by Raghunandan Kuppuswamy- Loved reading the story at one go! Mr. Kuppuswamy is a fantastic storyteller and his choice of stories is equally great. I always keep forward to

Wish you all a very blessed Mahalaya! Durgapuja is far away this year, so Durgapuja greetings are yet to be shared! Will get them in end october!

I will talk about the works only because I took most of the interviews. Lyapunov’s children by Troy David Loy- Great piece, a scary warning in my opinion regarding what human beings will do if they become really powerful, powerful enough to play with planets and stars! Vikram and Vetal by Raghunandan Kuppuswamy- I have read 25 stories of a book named Vetal Panchvingshati as a child, and then I have watched the TV show, don’t remember this one, I so enjoy Raghu’s stories, his choice and storytelling is awesome! Middle of nowhere, now here by Dom Collucci- Beautiful and peaceful! Friendx by Brieuc Martin Onraet- It is a fa
