fountainhead

the cult novel by Ayn Rand.....i remember reading it during my internship days i.e. 2 years before......and i was so awe struck with it that i end up narrating the whole novel to insha in one sitting amidst the attacks of mosquitoes.....to escape that we went to T.V. room .....i was non stop divulging the story!howard Roark......what a man!

however now i dont feel so strongly about the novel........not that i dont appreciate her idea of ideal man......its just that the whole concept of too strong and too focussed lost its sex appeal to me!

happy that i read it when i was or may be am too influenced by communism! i think every youngster is! so ayn rand's individualism dilutes the euphoria which communist ideologies create in you!!

i like her portrayal of egoistic, selfish man....i remember Richard Bach saying the same thing in one of his novels....may be Jonathan!i ended up recommending it to every possible being

but whatever the novels of ideologies don't attract anymore.......i would rather prefer history, politics or novels like " londonstani"( i read a few chapter) where a story is the attention not the ideology!!

ideology creates too much monotony.............the motive should be full fledged honest effort with the x factor remaining intact........
