For everything there is a popular view. It’s quite easy to keep sailing towards the direction in which the wind blows. A mutual admiration society is formed among the intellectual brethren. And the life goes on. Every one is happy.

For everything there is another side. Showing it is risky. Admirers shun away. Unpopularity comes as the reward.

Generations pass. Time takes a turn. New waves begin to flow. You are accepted.

Sometimes admired. But you do not live to see that.

Question is – where do you draw the line? Answer depends on what are you looking for.

Acceptance, praise, money, recognition, fame, what? This guides your decision.

I hope you got my answer. If not, read through the pages that follow. And, you will know.
