join Agnishatdal as author, artist!

Have 12 works that you can share in return of 12 issues of two ezines? that is 1:2 ratio, give me 12 of your works and you will get a one year subscription of Agnijaat and Agnishatdal.


I am not at all fussy, I have few rules only, you can share anything you want as long as it reflects good taste! It can be an essay, article, artwork, critique, story, poem, cartoon…. the list is long.


you can send the works in my email id (sermistabasu@gmail.com and agnishatdal@hotmail.com) or if you are in linkedin [ https://in.linkedin.com/in/authorsharmishthabasu ] you can share there, it allows doc files and pdf files, I can convert pdf files into doc files don’t worry, but before you do that copyright your works! That way no one will steal your work.

Wish you a blessed Saraswatipuja, may all the blessings of the divine mother shower down upon us.


This Quarterly of Agnijaat is sharing a few words from a single woman, who has passed extremely happy single life in a very orthodox and quite a bully sometimes society, yeah, my words of course! Tried my best to soften the edges. Hope you will like them!


If you want something extra, else don’t be shy, write to me! My email id is added in the end of the book(s).


I will love to hear from you, compliments, suggestions anything will do!


All works are copyrighted works of Sharmishtha Basu. You can share them with your friends but please acknowledge the creator. I will be very grateful for your sweetness.


Wish you a blessed time ahead!

Love.

This quarterly is sharing some quite serious works of Bitter Pill, a cherished creator of Agnishatdal, someone who clearly speaks own mind.


BP keeps personal life away from writing life, so you won’t be able to contact directly, you will have to read BP’s works via the Ezines and contact through the Ezine sites or editor.


Agnishatdal you know is a monthly English Ezine created by a group of amazing people scattered all over the world, they create as per their whim so their creations are unpredictable and awesome! You will have to read the books to understand fully.


You know that these works are copyrighted to BP.


Do let BP and me know your opinion of the book.


Love.

Dakshineshwar and Adyapeeth!


Paid a visit to Dakshineshwar, I went there last in 2006 methinks, even then it was a temple, now it looks like a commercial hub like all temples of Kolkata, they really don’t give you the feeling that you are entering abode of God. But, as the plan was to test my new camera, the trip was fun if not pious!



the statue is of Swami Vivekananda.



you can guess that the temple in the background is the Dakshineshwar temple, I decided not to enter the temple premises, was simply in the outer area.



me of course!



The ghat of Ganges.



a launch in ganges.



Shriramkrishna paramhansa, who made Dakshineshwar a favorite among Kolkata folks.



After Dakshineswhar we paid a vist to Adyapeeth, hoping we will be able to offer puja there but the priest was on leave! But something better happened, courtesy to a lady who works there, she opened the door of a shiv temple wide open and allowed me to offer my puja there, enter the temple and actually offer my puja without a middleman to meddle [that is my firm opinion of priests mostly, barring two I have come across].

Works from my wordpress blog are shared here. That I think is more convenient for me because I am quite at home with blogging there. So why not utilize the privilege when I can share the works there.
