  Our much revered Prime Minister and his Rambhakta sena paid us a visit on 23 rd January to “dishonour” one of Bengal’s favorites, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, the overzealous “bhaktas” were heard shouting Jay Shri Ram from the crowd.    One can guess how earnest their respect for Netaji and Bengal is, and what will they do if they can grab this state too!   I sincerely hope that the Bengalis with brain took a note of that gesture and if they have any blood of freedom fighters, liberal human beings left in their veins they will never allow BJP in Bengal. A party that has no decorum, dignity and is ready to do everything for power is not welcome here anymore, we have suffered one for thirty years and are still licking our wounds, reminding ourselves of our true wealth that lies not in China or Russia but in Bengal.

  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...

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!

  Agnishatdal Magh 1427 January 2021 ( https://shoptly.com/sharmishthabasu ) Critique by SB Agnishatdal Magh 1427, January 2021 https://gumroad.com/l/FCZLU https://shoptly.com/i/bp3o By your good old editor! Few words about the works of my much cherished authors. So the critiques will be honest, short and sweet! Poush Sankranti by Labanya: She is so right, I so miss those terribly sweet rosogollas and sandeshes of new molasses. Our health-conscious brethren have ruined Bengali sweets. Love by Scott Hastie- Priceless poem, it takes you on a deep emotional journey and ends with hope. Of drum-rolls and Indians 2 by saptarchi : This truly works in India, maybe in world too, people who can manipulate outshine worthy competitors. People who can scream lies silence truth. Fogline by Brieuc Martin Onraet 8: Just loved the way angels were describing human beings to God, their boss. I am really loving these chit chats. A secret revealed by Ra...
