Who is Gaurav Chandelya?


Well, yes! This is taken from the very first line of "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand, which I started to read today. This is my second attempt on this book. Last time I left it after 55 pages to be precise. No, I didn't found it boring, it was just not the right time. Yes, I do believe that books & films are needed to be read/seen at right time. Specially books as they take several hours of our life, and its a really bad feeling when you read something and "you can't take anything away from it". It happened once with me after reading this novel called "Five o' clock news". It was nothing, nothing to read, nothing to think, nothing to........ just nothing. Not that it's always bad, as I am a die hard fan of "Seinfeld : a series about nothing" as they call themselves, but it still has so much, that we overlook in real life.

And that's why I started to read this book again as I just finished "Romantic Manifesto" by Ayn Rand and, I felt the need to be read about heroism. Last time I read about a hero in "Fountainhead" it changed my life, I left my job : ) and started chasing my dream. Not that I was not doing earlier, just my approach was not ideal.

Now I am on the right path? so I am scared, what will I do after reading this. Yes it sounds stupid, but I love her text and I will let myself get carried away. As I love to live an ideal life.

What is Heroism?
If it's about "HERO", then...
Who is hero? the one who doesn't let his ideas fall for the practilitty of life?
I don't know, but i will try to figure out, how?
I'll walk the line.
Fall.
Get up.
Fall.
Get up.
And finally, hopefully I'll learn,
to be a "HERO"
