Hi friends, let us begin with a happy new year! Wish you all a very blessed new year 2021!


Magh issue begins with a colourful greeting followed by a tribute to Ramkrishna, grew up reading a lot about him, but it is always good to read a bit more!


Love by Scott Hastie- What a poem!


Of drum-rolls and Indians 2 by saptarchi: Harsh, sincere truths wish I could disagree or contradict but they are truth.


Fogline by Brieuc Martin Onraet 8: Another hilarious take on human physiology. How funny we may look to someone who is not at all familiar with human beings!


A secret revealed by Raghunandan Kuppuswamy: another piece sharing the love the son had for their father.


Planet fall by Troy David Loy: Great story of some of the characters of the author meeting for the first time.


Flight is light… by Dom Collucci: priceless beauty of a poem by a truly gifted, wise poet.


Bitter Pill dose 39 by Bitter Pill: Press: Great take on Indian mainstream press.


Lose the load 1 by Brendan: Great introspection on human society.


The Tilbaroo station by Pat Ritters 5: Another cute installment of the life of newlyweds.


Treats:


Beautiful greeting Sharmishtha!


5 cute shots- these too are from Agni’s December photography loved them all.


This month Linkedin Requests shares few more requests worth checking out [by authors].


The shearer by Pat Ritter: Read quite a bit of the story and it certainly will be a good one.


Pikatron by Troy David Loy sounds like a great reading material with fractals as added beauty!


SBs’ book in amazon, The prisoner of sand castle- sounds like an interesting read.


Star of the Month Ustad Shaukat Ali Khan- Never heard his name, will check out her videos in YouTube.


Star of West Emily Blunt: Have watched Devil wears Prada, can’t say I loved the character but she is a good actress for sure, will have to watch a few more before drawing a conclusion.


Star of east Nutan- She was a priceless gem. So beautiful, sweet and elegant! I absolutely adore this actress. She has starred in so many powerful roles!


Youtubia-Randy Rainbow- Will have to check!


Minutes Together: the gift from Agnimalya, patreon- human nature well captured!


Loved the Bengali poem and the hindi poem both. Thank you for adding my work poush sankranti in your ezine Agni.


Tripur- Bitter lesson for those who follow anyone blindly, even the wisest looking teacher can misguide you!


TnW- Indeed, there are those days when magic happens again and again!


Scaredy Stick- Good question!


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

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...
