Atlas Shrugged


I am currently reading Ayn Rand's 'Atlas Shrugged'.
She is such a powerful writer and I love reading her books.
But, to write an opinion about them is always intriguing.
I take-in so such when I read them but have always been left with very few words to write about. It's a difficult job.

I have read her 'Fountainhead'. I was confused, initially, as I was still an amateur reader then:)
I read it again and found out the full depth of it.

Now, it's Atlas Shrugged. In both she has portrayed such dynamic characters.
'Roark' and 'Rearden'- thought to be selfish by the whole world but they are confident about their goal and they take the courage to stand against the whole world to uphold their identity.

One quality that Ayn Rand's book highlight is that of 'Human Ability' which can perform almost anything and the 'hard work' needed to showcase that ability.

Though I have not completed the book, I felt I should write about it.
The font size and number of pages (which is over a thousand)are the only hurdles that are making me read it very slowly:(

The sights around the area of Dandeli are always welcoming.
That place can actually be called as 'Forest'.
One can easily say when they enter the vicinity as they can experience the cool breeze hitting their face.
The everlasting plantations of teak wood with its full length and broad leaves attract me every time I look at them.
Though they are always filled with dust yet they are appealing because of their size.
Without any pretence, this time I showed my daughter what an actual forest looks like.
But as soon as I mentioned forest she wanted to see the wild animals too.
Then she guessed all those animals were in the zoo rather than being in the forest!

Only thing that puts off during the travel are the worst condition of the roads:(
