THE FOUNTAIN HEAD


Introduction : This sound touches my ears , whenever I get to read some article by Rama Gopal Varma precisely known as RGV. 
                     The way he describes , Ayn rand's philosophy and her books drives me crazy . That very moment I antisipated to read it . I haunted many book stores ,asked many people and one fine day I found It when I went to some shop which purchases and sells second-handed books.
                      Unfortunately my anticipation didn't last long, the book was snatched by many  of pals who intended to read it too, and that just left me more desperate.
                      Finally 1 day after a whole year since I bought the book , I started it All those days , when I holded the book and peeped into the flesh of thoughts , spit by Raynd were the days of encounter with my self.I Lived those chatacters
PLOT:  

   HOWARD ROAK  : Howard roak , sounds crisp and bold thus is his personality too, bold and brave . Oozing out  the sketches of buldings which his contemporaries could'nt digest .
            His Arichitecteral work is exquesitely beautiful, sufficiently blended with perfection. But the society wasn't worth of having his beauty manifest , it always tried to  condemn him , but that didn't bother his ego.

DOMINIQUE FRANCON: The woman just made for Roak. She fells for him , for his selfishness[ This is not in the convintional terms, specially defined by Rand]. She loves him to the extent of killing his fame , because she feels the society is not worth of his work and propagating his work is actually an insult to him .
                                      
          The story is about how both of them finally come together , fighting against all odds , suffering all the adversities with a sufficient touch of obscenity , romance, pain , passion ,love and finally Rand's philosophy 

MY WORDS ON IT: The most fascinating thing about the book for me is the character of Dominique. She added the whole grace to the art work , salvation to read the book . She is the woman to be cherished and I literally fell for her.
                   Another note is that , the book is beautiuful and bitter at the same time . One should have the guts to be a masochist, to enjoy the pain of reading too.

Rand's Philosophy : Her philosophy Is a little abstract . She says that a man should live to himself . All the words sacrifice , selfishness, selflessness, love , ego have totally different approach according to her
                 But she somehow seemed to be right to me . I felt skeptic in the beggining , but when I Introspected I came to believe Her

words are my wine

   Those were the days when I used to feel enthralled at the words of my teachers , the days of my childhood , I immencely feel nostalgic when I get to look at books , because I was profoundly influenced by the words explained by my teachers, the lively charectars of the lessons from books, stuck me deep .
                 Then did I know about  " HENRY DAVID THOREAU" , his philosophy   for which I took myself granted ,of one day getting into his shoes . All his  literary stuff  is terrific .
                It rouse the spirit in me , the spirit usually for which youth goes crazy . There I found something magical in his words, poetry in his works, philosophy in his life which drives me crazy . And all that stuff is preciesly the wine for me . The wine which gives the taste of pain , pleasure , happiness, joy , agony every expression of life , which you can hardly have in any other deed  .
             This is actually sometimes a romantic affair , and a tugoff war too between you and the author , this wine of words have that potential to turn the consience of an individual , the very consiousness of the author is preserved , persued and projected through the words .
             Thus I decided to provide the essence of all the books I read  , which may account for unleashing your spirits .
