When society is doomed.





When you know that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing; 


When you see that money is flowing to those who deal not in goods but in favours; 


when you see that men get rich more easily by graft rather than by work, 


and your laws no longer protect you against them but protect them against you


......  you know that your society is doomed 


                                      - Ayn Rand ( Author - Atlas Shrugged)

    Gurvinder I know your father Man Singh ji very well.
    Your father is one of the rare entrepreneurs who showed his capacity to create wealth even in scarcity of all types of resources.

    I have very high regards for him. He was 10 years ahead and thus could probably not control the situation. Convey my regards to him.

    Thanks and warm regards.

    Ayn Rand, one of my favourite authors!
    Check out marie Corelli as well....she said pretty much the same in 1930

    That is so true of the society today. What a tragic commentary of life..
    Hats off to Ayn Rand for putting it across so very beautifully

    Ayn Rand was not just a writer; she was a great thinker, decades ahead of her times.
    Thanks for bringing back her memories.

  9. Dear Shekhar,

    Thanks . You are always a great supporter .
    I long for your company. Why do the people we treasure highly remain most distant from us?

    This was forwarded to me by Anish Poojara and I have acknowledged it in my mail It is a worthy message to share with the world

    It is difficult for me to find something that you have not studied in depth or have not learnt of, but I will try to regale your majesty with something original in the future.
