Freedom







                              Freedom

                             To ask nothing. To expect nothing. To depend on nothing



                             Ayn Rand

    1. I don't know if it's such a good idea- I know it impacted me deeply and for days I could think of nothing else except her writing!

  4. After a long time Anju, when a person would reach that state he wouldn't know what not having freedom is. Isn't it. Nice thought on this day.

  6. I am a big fan of Howard Roark.

    And i think, independence of thoughts is real independence. The deed to respect and nurture differences free from favoritism of particular "caste", "native place" , "religion", "gender" or "pedigree".
