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
Now try Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand too and see if you can agree with that philosophy of capitalism
