I don’t know how I can describe about the person whose words mean so deep and thoughtful for me… easily I can say I never read or heard from anybody till now. Yeah…sounds really weird but that’s what I feel right now….  How can I describe such an innately gifted lady whose works left an indelible impressions on few of souls across the globe …luckily I think I’m just fortunate to be one among them. Yes, definitely there is no need to boast about it because that’s the real truth. By the way I don’t think a person whoever understands her thoughts and ideas clearly didn’t sought after to register her/himself in the list of Rand’s aficionados.

“The lady with a real mettle”

In fact, even I haven’t known about my real persona clearly…until I read her book called ‘The Fountainhead’… Though, I discern it’s just a novel which is fictitious but it’s not lesser than any good Non-fiction work which tries to explain some real stuff!

I know it has been very late from my end to understand what are my definite moral fiber and my inner self…yet, thank god it hasn’t gone astray!

I’m truly one of those lucky readers whoever read her books. She is just amazing lady…really world has seen great stuff from Russian born American philosopher.

You know, I have never known something there exist a subtle mean behind a word called ‘Objectivism’!  Thanks to ‘The Fountainhead’ it has made me to recall all those episodes in my life which has occurred in the past and given many insights to the present happenings which were somewhat connected to it.

Funny thing you know, I wasn’t aware what are these specific technicalities of human persona, character and attitude etc stuff whatever Rand was enlightened in the book… but I was still blessed with all these qualities inherently; it’s just that I wasn’t aware. May be it happens with everybody! It’ll be good if you are of aware of these aspects much earlier in life, as there’ll be a chance of transcending.

Let me share something my experiences with the Rand’s book… I can boast by saying  my real ‘I’ is almost closely similar to the protagonist ‘Howard Roark’ in the novel. Like him, I’m the man of self-conviction, always independent and never bother about recognitions from others. Right now that’s the reason why I hate myself as I’m working under somebody and I’m sure it’ll be only for short term …its mainly due to my current circumstances otherwise I’m not the man of such a kind of choice. I ain’t like to nod my head to their god damn rules.
Doesn’t matter it might give signs of arrogance but that’s how others take it which I consider it in other way i.e. concern with one’s own interests. I believe man’s self passion and possession is more important than any other. Never try to be a Second-hander always be yourself just YOU!

“Concern with his own interests is the essence of a moral existence, and that man must be the beneficiary of his own moral actions.”

I do whatever I like and I like whatever I do. Its fastidious character…probably that’s the reason why I end up with very few friends. You know I almost never tried or try to visit my relatives as I don’t like their crappy shit which they try to rub-off. Of course, for that I don’t have any regrets or guilty over ME …because whatever friends I have, all of them are phenomenal :). Quality matters and that’s more than enough for me.

On the other hand unlike Roark, I’m not wholly atheist but I’m an agnostic person and seldom will even accept on point ‘there might exist something which is incomprehensible or heavenly thing.’ Also I feel some of the circumstances in my life were totally different to match up Roark but certainly the attitude is absolute match. And yeah, unlike Roark even sweet heart ‘Dominique’ is missing in my life J

The Fountainhead

Ayn Rand

This book contains lots of wonderful dialogues  its hard for somebody to pick a particular one but having said that one dialogue I think I like very much …

“You’ve made a mistake already. By asking me. By asking anyone.Never ask people. Not about your work. Don’t you know what you want? How can you stand it, not to know?”….
P.S:  This is the Roark’s reply for the Keating’s argument

One thing for sure to understand Ayn Rand’s views one need to be open minded and I’m aware there will be always a chance of clash of orthodox values with her words.

Well anyway, this is how an over enthusiastic booklover try to correlate his real life impressions with Rand’s first best seller …I’m nuts about her writing J
It’s not just mere an another fiction book but the book with profound substance!

I’ll be completing all of her writings unhurriedly…definitely slowly after all they are not simple books J
