I am the embodiment of lethargy today. Shouldn't be complaining though - Its just the way I like it. The whole day occupied with lots and lots of things to do. Doesn't leave you with a minute free to dwell on useless things.
For instance, what should I do in the future? It is completely and entirely useless to think anymore about it. No amount of pondering over this extremely tiresome question could lead me to the answer.
I idolize Dagny Taggart, the female protagonist of Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. She never had a minute free either. Oh but she knew what she wanted to do.
She could work day and night and morning and evening and noon. Sleep on her desk in her office, not eat, not drink, walk miles, fly more miles. But when she was to appear in a party, say, or in company.. she managed to look jaw-dropping-awesome. Things like these shatter the illusion of idolatry.
Anyhow!! Haven't gotten over this book even after 10 months of reading it. The impact is here to stay, I'd say.

A story whose effect hovers for longer than expected, deserves a mention. Sounds like Ayn Rand did a wonderful job, leaving an imprint in the reader's mind is unarguably a true achievement. It is nice to see how you attempt to find an answer in what you have read for what you are living.
