Hi everyone...

Should thank aj for letting me know about this. Right, here goes.....
A true blue Bangalorean.... a graduate in commerce and a MBA to flaunt
on CVs..and yeah...truly enjoy travelling....though havent been out
lately...music is more of a religion for me...from rock to
mediterranean to carnatic to ghazals to kitsch....and of
course...reading....higgins to ayn rand to toffler...and good old rk
narayan back home...

guess that's about too much....lookin' forward to hear more from
y'all....

cheers
anoop

whats anyones take on Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged"? i for one cudnt quite digest her extreme view of capitalism and her views on "Virtues of Selfishness". however convincing they mite be, not quite wholly tautological. i trust there are a few flaws and i intend to find them out. and no i wont be a hindu fundamentalist but her views on Hindu religion in general and Indian industry, particularly during the immediate post-WW II scenario is entirely flawed and seen thru a biased prism. her diatribe against "from each according to his abilities to each according his needs", convincingly argued against, is a clear disagreement with Marxian views. not that i entirely disagree with her, i find her idea of absolutely efficient and selflessly selfish, if u know what i mean, industrialists too good to be true. she, however, tries to prove without taking names there do exist such industrialists. comments anyone?

PS: i hope the moderator doesnt mind a once-in-a-while arguement on things other than travel and music.

Haven't yet laid my hands on this one.

 

Will read as soon as I finsh 'The Zahir' by Paulo Coelho.

 

The moderator will let democracy rule all the way. But interesting discussions are always welcome.

 

Cheers

Am onto Zahir as well...and laid my hands on some good flicks...'The Big Red One', Bridge Too Far etc.

If anyone's got plans of turning religious for a day...there's an interesting trek on Devarayanadurga..about 50 odd kms from Bangalore...abode of Narasimma

 

cheers,

ab
