Agnijaat Shraban 1428 July 2021 critique by Labanya

  Agnijaat Shraban 1428 July 2021 ( https://shoptly.com/sharmishthabasu ) https://gumroad.com/sharmishthabasu Critique by Labanya Agnijaat Shraban 1428 July 2021 critique by Labanya https://sharmishthabasu.gumroad.com/l/cfOhd https://shoptly.com/i/bxok Agnijaat Shraban begins with a beautiful sketch Goddess Durga and her children. Agnijaat has gone a complete makeover from July 2021. It is now distributed in three primary sections, stories, poetry and essays. There are the usual delightful illustrations too. ESSAY SECTION: Walk back home: An article about the plight of migrant labourers during lockdown last year. It was a horrible shame. Mortal Gods: An article about common psychology of Indians, worshipping everyone including politicians, now, the difference between worshipping a movie star and a politician is a politician can destroy a country. All is well: Very true, Indian politicians are such a lucky breed! They are not questioned about

Shubho Janmashtami!

Melodies from moonlit nights 2021 in Kindle

  Melodies from moonlit nights 2021 in Kindle http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WTXA11O This year I have added a bunch of new type of poems in my own created styles, seventeen and seven. These mostly circle around life and of course nature and other things too show up in these. These are fresh lot, recently written (2016-2019), apart from them there are a set of free form poems written in 2021 itself, hope you will like the new additions and the style. I don’t write genre-wise books, I think they will be monotonous, hope you agree with me.

the prisoner of sand castle 2021 in Kindle

  the prisoner of sand castle 2021 in Kindle http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QK1X4AG This year you will get stories under the section named “Gehenna Parables” I really enjoyed writing many of them I mean if not all. You will again get all types of fantasy and supernatural stories in the book, there is romance, fear and mystery for you this year. Do read and tell me which one you liked best. Words left by readers (about the previous issues of this book) F. E. Esparza reviewed The prisoner of Sand Castle A Thinker December 27, 2015 I found this book to be interesting to read. The stories are very short and entertaining but I feel they don't end properly as some feel like cliff hangers. I don't know if that was the writers intention to do. On the flip side it does give a reader thoughts to ponder on what happen next. So I do have to say this book does make a reader think and captures a persons attention. Troy reviewed The prisone

Patreon June critique by Labanya

  Hello there! Hope things are well there, here things are nice, can’t say very bad, even though they look very grim. I have just finished reading the June bunch of Patreon books created/written by Sharmishtha Basu, sharing my honest opinion about them, hoping they will bring a few much needed patrons her way! If you want them for free you will have to critique the Ezines for a year, loyally and faithfully, if you critique them for a year and send the critiques to Sharmishtha she will give you these five books for free next year. You can go on for years, I plan to! 1. Agnilipi [writing/letter of fire]: It contains 10 gorgeous photographs taken by Sharmishtha Basu. They are pleasing and pretty to my eyes. My favorite is the first shot of flamingo catching fish, next is the light mauve flower. 2. Agnipat [portrait of fire]: It contains 10 awesome paintings of birds, I just loved them all. The benebou pix were extra gorgeous. 3. Agnimalya [garland of fire

Few simple words about the works of my much cherished authors! So the critiques will be honest, short and sweet. Rain by Labanya- A piece of beauty. Brought back memories of old days! Iridescent vignette by Scott Hastie: This tug between material world and spiritual world is so strong! Ye reap… by saptarchi : Very true words, Indians should have seen the condition of Bangladesh and Pakistan before electing blood-thirsty fanatics. Fogline by Brieuc Martin Onraet 15: I really enjoyed this piece, it sounds like based on Brieuc’s own childhood, that is why it feels so real.

Indie Author Speaks : Good post, Sharmishtha referred a few free review sites. FTQFS : A million dollar quote for envious people! Techbabble : Very true, any professional should not claim that his/her referred product is as good as another if it is not! It will spread really bad word of mouth for his/her opinions. India Now: Kingdom of fallen – She is right, the audacity and laziness of Kolkata garbage collectors is amazing! No wonder the city is full of disposed garbage everywhere! As for atrocities against Shudras it is common, but not in Bengal, and the Shudras should concentrate on getting what is government giving out to them “huge amou
