…dreams shattered
January 29, 2009
Again a result and all dreams shattered,
Could’nt prove myself when it really mattered.
Thought I was good I was strong,
But it was an illusion that proved me wrong.
Dad said its ok Mom said its nice.
But I could see defeat in their eyes.
It would not be easy to face them
or to look into their eyes.
The road ahead seems really bleak,
Then I ask myself am I so weak.
As a phoenix reborns anew and rises from its ashes,
I have to be a zealot and win all the matches.
Again a full year
Again the result and all the same dreams of mine,
I swear will surely make it this time.
The FountainHead
January 26, 2009
I am not a kind of book freak but when it comes to books that have a gripping storyline and a good touch of philosophy then that really buckles me up. One day somebody recommended me a book called The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. The dictionary gives the meaning of Fountainhead as original source of ideas.
I had no idea how the book was and what was its genre. Still I ordered the book from the library. Days later I found out that its a 700 something page book and with a font that would make a person go blind if he completes his 700 pages.
So after some days of keeping the book aside and thinking whether I should go for it or not, finally i decided to start with it.
It did not take me long to make out that the book was reasonably good and worth spending the time.
This book by Ayn Rand is a 1943 novel which makes us to think the true definition of happiness. Its a true example of classic individualism.
Anybody who likes a little philosophy would surely love this book as I did.
