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]: This month the book contains a set of supernatural stories, only one is not supernatural. I enjoyed each and every one of them.


4. Coming Kingdom: It was a great read. Mixed platter, some were supernatural and some were not. Rather enjoyed the stories with a little quirky fun and twist.



5. SBPnB [Sharmishtha Basu’s Pen n Brush]: It contains 10 illustrated poems, the paintings are pretty and the poems are really good


Will return next month with critiques, till then stay safe!

yours truly,

Labanya


It is my pseudonym and I write for Sharmishtha only, I really don’t have any plans of writing for anyone else at present, if I do I will start using my real name! If you like my works you can always send a few lines to Sharmishtha or write them as comments, she will tell me.

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. I’m putting looking online for recordings of her songs on my list of things to do for the weekend! 　 Pankaj Kr. Malik: What an amazing career this man had, as an actor, singer, and songwriter!
