The hols tis time hav been very different,very very strange too. First of all, the sun is not shining. Its been raining all over the place. Theres no cry for water scarcity. The cry of chennaiites has been aswered n the ever generous God hasnt stopped showering them with His elixir. The heat was one major irritant before. People got irritated over trivial things. Each and every thing had a sinking feeling. There was a general sense of discord and tension among people. As if everyone wanted to drink other's blood to quench his or her thirst. The rain has driven away all such disliking. Auto drivers dint chase me till i got into a bus, the conductor did accept a 10 rs note. Wats happenin 2 chennai?
So wat am I doing now? Stuck between four walls because of rain, I am reading Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. I had attempted Fountainhead before but I think I was too young then to grasp wat it offered. Actually my introduction to Ayn Rand had been thro ugh a Ist year friend of mine. He offered me a book which contained her unfinished or crap short stories. Things which she had written before her success. It was not very impressive though I did like Fountainhead to an extent. But I stopped midway. Even Atlas Shrugged I wud have done the same a lot many times. Except I realised that it does have more to offer than just 1000 pages of love, lust and greed. I do like the book and am reading it with a kind of interest which has never been there since I finished reading "I met a lady" by Howard Spring. Also, I had read Ayn Rand's "Night of January 16th", a Broadway drama. The plot is very much the same in all her writings: Two lovers who are too greedy,lost in love for each other, highly principled and care nothing but a damn for people around them. In short representing the evils of capitalism. The people around them try their best to destroy them. The ironic fact is that these people use the communist principles of equality of labor et al to revive Free Economy! What a shame! I have just finished 350 pages so it will b quite a while before i can write a decent review.

And I have attempted a few changes to da Blog. I liked tis template becos its just the perfect background for my kinda writing: Evening, after work hours n all u want to do is to discuss te day wit someone over a cup of hot coffee...Constructive comments r welcome.
