Payal, try Atlas Shrugged. I kind of disagree with Mr Cots here. The book has become almost must-read for people who believe in individualism rather than collectivism. I think even >50 years after its release, it jumps to Amazon best seller list every now and then


The resoning to buy the book has roots in collectivism than individualism.. 😆

Hey AnuMP .. I am just joking..so pls dont mind.. 😳

Fountainhead also hails individualism over collectivism but as I mentioned he appealed to me more as I found in him Karmayogi of Geeta..

John Galt is the lone voice daring to say No in the face of massive state apparatus and declines to be bribed by power

👏 Fully agree.

All i understood is, i need to read this book 😛Added it to my ever long list of things i gotta read. Not trying to stereotype but very rarely have i heard a guy who is a reader. Most guys around me give me a "Are u crazy look" when i ask them to read something. So yeah, cheers to u dude 😃

Edit: Read ur mention my username somewer upar. My name is Payal 😊


Hi Payal, i am glad this post made you interested in the book. The book is a masterpiece. English was not Ayn Rand's first language so she wrote book with a dictionary by her side. You will see some unnatural dialogues but what appeals me is her writing style is very compact and she puts lot of meaning in seemingly innocent line.. Just like office series (uk one) it is very easy to miss full import, subtle sarcasm, wit if one isnot careful...a brilliant author indeed..

I hesitate to say this but if pressed for time, you can watch Teesara Kinara , PTV production featuring Kazmi couple. It is available on youtube and is very faithful adaptation except for ending which they found to hot to handle. I could appreciate it because I had read book.. Other way round may not be very entertaining watch.

Calling me Anu will be fine. I didnt see that absurdity till you pointed it out😆. And dont worry about giving offense. I frequently do, most of the time without even intending to😆 (at least thats what I claim😉)

You get Hunger games dreams ??😲 Let me guess .. Yourself as Katniss and Karna as Peeta ?
I am sure he will fall in for a lady archer.. 😆😉

no in that case character swapped Karna Katiness character, I was Peeta's character 😆see the initials of names also matches Karna Katiness, Peeta and Panchaali😆
and I dreamt he was scolding every now and then coz I don't know anything about combat 😭 and selected for the Hunger Games, he was telling me now and then, "This girl will get killed and make me get killed also"😭 but I was proving myself Peeta everytime, with calm mind and intelligence..then he started praising 😃

I also sometimes get dreams of me with Katniss in that cave during survival competition.. I will not elaborate it any further..😆
no need to explain I have a very strong imagination power 😆😉
any way read the Hunger Games series also..the books are just awesome...Sayanee started reading I m going to borrow from her ASAP 😃

Cots I think I'll read the book. Generally I don't prefer watching anything adapted from books coz they kill the beauty of the books. So no matter how much they try, u always feel that void. So yes I'll read it. 😃
And Anu.. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll read atlas shrugged too 😉
