    Life Without Tears: A Truth About Precious Relationships

    Original price was: ₹177.00.Current price is: ₹159.00.
    Efforts have been made to preserve those usually untouched aspects of life in 'Life without Tears', which pose their presence in front of people in society. People tend to ignore their responsibilities towards elders in their family and society. The mentality of the people of today has become so narrow that they worry only about their children and in a sense, the nuclear family. In this fiction, relationships have been so woven into the whole theme that the reader attaches directly to the characters. An attempt has been made to depict the sweetness and bitterness in family relationships. In a situation like this, there are undoubtedly some people, with a positive approach, who dedicate themselves well to society in discharging their responsibilities towards it. A sincere effort has been made to make the characters intuitive and effective in the novel. They will be able to leave their indelible mark on the hearts of the readers. I got the motivation for writing this novel from my grandfather, who would always emphasize the charm in 'living for others'. Santosh Prasad relates to a farmer's family in the Belvan village of Gopalganj in Bihar. In the face of many inadequacies in life, he is in possession of a tendency to do something in the field of literature and entertainment. The thought of bringing up his grandfather's thoughts in front of people always kept him motivated. After studying and graduating from Bihar, he came over to Delhi to make his future golden, struggled a lot here but ultimately succeeded. Presently, he has established himself as a well-known businessman in the National Capital Delhi. Even today, he remembers the moments of inadequacies and inconveniences he experienced in his village. His village was devoid of good schools and colleges. He came to Delhi and learned the Korean language to move ahead and today has earned a good name in the field of 'Health and Fitness and Media'.

    The De-barristerized Savarkar: A Tribute to the Poetic Patriotism of Savarkar

    Original price was: ₹210.00.Current price is: ₹189.00.
    The Great Savarkar: National Pariah, International Messiah in his quest for freeing Bharat Mata from bondage, Savarkar's first confrontation was with the colonials and second with the Indian National Congress for territorial integrity. He internationalized the freedom struggle by dragging British Empire in the dock of the International Court of Justice. Savarkar's deeds had created universal repercussions and global resonance, his love of Bharat Mata was proverbial and his patriotism was 360 degree pure and outstanding. The Brits had to testimonialize his patriotic zeal by an inscription of blue plaque "Vinayak Damodar Savarkar (1883-1966), Indian Patriot and Philosopher lived here". Savarkar is credited as the progenitor of the science and art of martyrology for moralizing the martyrs and their martyrdom. Remembering his poetic patriotism: Dr. Shyam Singh Tanwar, a retired octogenarian associate professor of government colleges of Rajasthan, double M.A. (History and English) with a Ph.D. from Rajasthan University under illustrious historian Dr. A.L. Srivastava of Agra. Dr. Tanwar is an enlightened scholar and has enriched and augmented his knowledge in the two summer institutes in English for college lecturers held one at Mysore (1966) and the other at Jaipur (1972), organized jointly by UGC and the British Council. Mrs. Mradulata, after doing her M.A. in Hindi from Jodhpur University (now Jai Narain Vyas University) has been associated with the research work of studying historical documents and manuscripts and has earned a social reputation of being a know-all of the analects and anecdotes related to History of India in general and Rajasthan in particular. It was owing to her historical insight and consciousness that bureaucrat-turned historian Shri Mangi Lal Mahecha, (M.A., L.L.B) could 'Rajasthan Ke Rajput' (Uthaan Aur Patan)
