Hi friends, let us begin!


Poush issue begins with tribute to Ramanuja, I have only heard his name, now I know a bit about him.


Of drum-rolls and Indians by saptarchi: Harsh, sincere truths.


Fogline by Brieuc Martin Onraet 8: Another hilarious piece of an angel explaining human body as a lab rat’s features!


A secret revealed by Raghunandan Kuppuswamy: Well, with sons like them he should feel blessed not angry!


Gods of Terra by Troy David Loy: Background story on Gods of Terra, quite an interesting piece.


Heaven takes a trip… by Dom Collucci: beautiful poetry by a truly gifted poet.


Bitter Pill dose 38 by Bitter Pill: Secular India 5: Valid points again, Hindus should stop being thugs and Indian politicians should start treating them like equals with followers of other religions, neither superior nor inferior.


Energy by Brendan: Beautiful piece, a piece about a soul looking for soulmate.


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


Treats:


Lovely greeting Sharmishtha!


5 lovely shots- these too are from Agni’s November photography loved them all.


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


The proposition by Pat Ritter: Sounds like new type of story.


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


SBs’ book in amazon, The bridge of her dreams- sounds like an interesting read.


Star of the Month Kanan devi- She is another legend of old times, will check out her videos in YouTube. Have heard one or two already!


Star of West Whoopy Goldberg: Just love this actress.


Star of east Nanda- She was a priceless gem. So beautiful, sweet and elegant!


Youtubia-Vinod Dua- He is great!


Minutes Together: interesting story from mythology.


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


Kuvera- It was a cute story about a man getting jealous of Goddess Durga.


TnW- good suggestion!


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

Of dreams and reality 2019

Of dreams and reality https://www.amazon.com/dp/b0105jdvh4 Life and its myriad tugs and pulls that bring out the best and worst of imagination, experiences. We all start our lives with dreams in our eyes and hope in our hearts. Believe me! The broken hearts and souls you see around you are the ones beaten by themselves or the world! Some pieces of those dreams, hopes and turmoil are wrapped inside these covers for you. Hope you will enjoy them! You can guess by the name that this book contained a set of poems about human existence, its vices and virtues, its behavior good and bad!  Then this year I added a bunch of poems of various mood and topics, written in my own style seventeen. Now the mood of the book has changed substantially so check out and see what you can gather from them. Hope you will enjoy it. Do drop a line after reading them please!

Agnishatdal Falgun 1425 Critique By Troy David Loy https://www.amazon.com/author/troyloy https://shoptly.com/i/4jy 　 Vanakkam. This Chaitra, I give you something on last month’s Agnishatdal, 　 Let us begin…. Our virtual trip to India* This shows a girl in traditional garb in rural forest surroundings, maybe someone of an adivasi ethnicity? This pic has a nice balance of light and dark shades, particularly the light tones of dress contrasting with the dark shades of her skin. 　 Malati Ghoshal: As a student at Bethune college, trained in classical and Tagore songs, and best in those, it’s no wonder she was mentioned by the mentioned in the poems of some of the leading poets of her day.
