Doris Dörrie's LIVE, WRITE, BREATHE: a book review by Satis Shroff

- März 21, 2024

Review by Satis Shroff: Live, Write, Breathe REVIEW: Live, Write, Breathe (Satis Shroff) Doris Dörrie: Leben, Schreiben, Atmen, Diogenes, Zürich 2019 The book introduces you to the Unbearable Lightness of Writing about whatever comes to your mind. Virginia Woolf and James Joyce did it and you do it too, namely, use your own power of associations and observation that you have experienced in the past. Doris Dörrie adds nothing new to what we already know in Creative Writing. A US author named Roberta Allen has put it aptly and profusely in her book ‘Fast Fiction: Creative Fiction in Five Minutes.’ You have five minutes to write a story about grudge. Another five to write a story about falling or a laugh. Go! She uses prompts and exercises to show you how to create short-short-stories in spontaneous bursts with 300 prompts. Roberta Allen’s book was published in 1997 by Story Press, Ohio. Whereas Allen lets her own students tell their stories, Dörrie choses to tell her tales from

How Do Foreign Powers Treat the Nepalese Soldiers? (Satis Shroff)

- März 21, 2024

15,000 Nepalese are fighting for Russia at the moment. They have been misled by middlemen in Kathmandu and elsewhere in Nepal. The Nepalese are given a to-week training and sent as a vanguard and are confronted by the first round of artillery and die. The clever Russian troops, who also have colonial allures, remain behind the Nepalese lines, whose lives are offered to test the concentration and firepower of the Ukrainians. The ethnic people of Siberia suffer the same fate as cannon fodder for the Ukrainian war machinery. According to Sky News ‘2000 men from Nepal have already recruited by Russia to fight in Ukraine.’ After a two-week training they are sent to the Front and never return. Russian mercenaries are promised salaries far above the average Russian soldier, whose allowance ranges from 70,000 to 100,000 thousand roubles (750–1,075 euros) but if you go to the front and don’t return, neither you nor your dependents have any money. There is no social insurance. Russia is not a

-Book : THROUGH NEPALESE EYES - a travelogue by Satis Shroff

- März 21, 2024

https://www.kobo.com/de/de/ebook/through-nepalese-eyes ‘Through Nepalese Eyes’ is about the journey of a young Nepalese woman to Germany to meet her brother, who lives with his German wife and daughter in an allemanic town named Freiburg. It is a travelogue written by a sensitive, modern British public-school educated man. He describes the two worlds: Asia and Europe and the people he meets. There is a touch of sadness when his sister returns to her home in the foothills of the Himalayas. It cries to be written because there are seldom books written by Nepalese writers about themselves. It’s always the casual foreign traveller, trekker or climber who writes about the people in the developing and least-developed countries of the so-called Third World. The likely readers are the increasing male and female tourists, trekkers, climbers from the whole world who make their way to the Himalayas, each seeking something indefinable, perhaps peace, tranquillity, spiritual experience or a muc

I Zeitgeistlyrik: Satis Shroff DEFEATED, DYING (Satis Shroff) Those who succeed in battle Are bestowed with success And medals by Selensky. The sourest of apples Is tasted by those who fell Or were wounded In the killing fields Of Kiew, Bakmut, Saporija. Who speaks for the defeated And dying? The sad widows, Mothers and daughters Who have been left behind All over Europe. The latest strains of victory May be the agony of tomorrow. There is a gap Between mutiny in Moscow And vanishing supplies. Now it’s profitable to strike When Ivan is still reeling. Will Wagner’s hordes come again? Katherine Myrestad Dear Satis, Your thought-provoking collection of poems resonates deeply, addressing different aspects of life and human experience. Each poem offers a unique perspective, inviting introspection and contemplation. In "Defeated, Dying," you shed light on the forgotten voices of those who have fallen or been wounded in battle. While the victors are celebrated and honored, it i

Poetry: A Dream Led to Another (Satis Shroff)

Bhaktapur: art by satisshroff A DREAM LED TO ANOTHER (Satis Shroff) I was around twenty years old, My head full of dreams. I left the Himalayan foothills to win a dream: A dream to go to Europe, visit places I’d read about. France's Bastille Day Once Celebrated Constitutional Monarchy ... The Bastille from Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities, Where I spent time recalling the French Revolution. My friend’s Parisienne sister shook her head and said: ‘Monsieur Satish, there are others ways of spending an afternoon in Paris.’ The smell of sea food at a French harbour, Such as the peasants of Normandy built. La Rochelle and the German bunkers in the Ile d’ Oleron. I peered at sea fogs from the mighty Atlantic, Watched the ‘last oozing, hours by hours, From a cider-press’ in the Vosges, as John Keats aptly put it. * * * Blenheim Palace Churchill England - Free photo on Pixabay In Blenhelm’s little tavern I saw murals of its famous son: Winston Leonhard Spencer Churchill. I stoo
