Galt, Godfather, Godard and Ganesha

Reflecting on his upbringing in culturally rich Chennai, the author explores how diverse and seemingly contradictory influences shaped his worldview. He traces his intellectual evolution through the disparate legacies of Ayn Rand’s individualism, Jean-Luc Godard’s avant-garde cinema, the pragmatic grit of The Godfather, and the enduring spiritual presence of Lord Ganesha.
