The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck

By Mark Manson

In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be “positive” all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people

For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. “Fuck positivity,” Mark Manson says. “Let’s be honest, shit is fucked and we have to live with it.” In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugar-coat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected (click here to buy.)

American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—“not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society and some of it is not fair or your fault.” Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace
our fears, faults and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity and forgiveness we seek.(click here to buy)

There are only so many things we can give a fuck about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience.

A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in the-eye moment of real talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them truly lead contented, grounded lives.(click here to buy)

The Indian War Of Independence 1857 By Veer Savarkar

The Indian Rebellion of 1857 was a major, but ultimately unsuccessful, uprising in India in 1857–58 against the rule of the British East India Company, which functioned as a sovereign power on behalf of the Bristish crown . The rebellion began on 10 May 1857 in the form of a mutiny of sepoys of the Company's army in the garrison town of Meerut , 40 miles northeast of Delhi (now Old Delhi ). It then erupted into other mutinies and civilian rebellions chiefly in the upper gangetic plan and central India , though incidents of revolt also occurred farther north and east. The rebellion posed a considerable threat to British power in that region, and was contained only with the rebels' defeat in Gwalior on 20 June 1858. On 1 November 1858, the British granted amnesty to all rebels not involved in murder, though they did not declare the hostilities formally to have ended until ...

"Beech Ka Rasta Nahin Hota" Pash पाश की कविता हमारी क्रांतिकारी काव्य–परंपरा की अत्यंत प्रभावी और सार्थक अभिव्यक्ति है । मनुष्य द्वारा मनुष्य के शोषण पर आधारित व्यवस्था के नाश और एक वर्गविहीन समाज की स्थापना के लिए जारी जनसंघर्षों में इसकी पक्षधरता बेहद स्पष्ट है । साथ ही यह न तो एकायामी है और न एकपक्षीय, बल्कि इसकी चिंताओं में वह सब भी शामिल है, जिसे इर प्रगतिशील काव्य–मूल्यों के लिए प्राय: विजातीय माना जाता रहा है । अपनी कविता के मा/यम से पाश हमारे समाज के जिस वस्तुगत यथार्थ को उद्घाटित और विश्लेषित करना चाहते हैं, उसके लिए वे अपनी भाषा, मुहावरे और बिंबों–प्रतीकों का चुनाव ठेठ ग्रामीण जीवन से करते हैं । घर–आँगन, खेत–खलिहान, स्कूल–कॉलेज, कोट–कचहरी, पुलिस–फौज और वे तमाम लोग जो इन सबमें अपनी–अपनी तरह एक बेहतर मानवीय समाज की आकांक्षा रखते हैं, बार–बार इन कविताओं में आते हैं । लोक–जीवन में ऊर्जा ग्रहण करते हुए भी ये कविताएँ प्रतिगामी आस्थाओं और विश्वासों को लक्षित करना नहीं भूलतीं और उनके पुनर्संस्कार की प्रेरणा देती हैं ...
