LIII - Annie and the Underworld 1



Annie was disgusted, the guy Schreidhorn, who impressed her at Oxford and then who happened to also meet her at the Cambridge get together.Kind of impressed her. 

He introduced himself as Shrek, and he had carried out an impressive talk on Schopenhauer, during Oxfords Golden Jubilee conference of the John Locke lecture series, they were then together at the after party, Prof. Bernstein had to attend to several other friends and  acquaintances - Annie’s presentation on the potential of Nucleic, Cellular and Cosmic aspects of Philosophy was simply the most sensational presentation at the conference, Prof. Bernstein had introduced her as his enemy and nemesis to the audience.

Annie proved it.

With such aggression.

Many of Prof. Bernstein’s colleagues, friends and admirers were left a bit burnt.  

But should Annie care ?

Not the least .

When it came to her subject she was merciless.

Ruthless.

Brutal.

Her points even during the ‘Q & A’ post presentation were so well researched and presented, even the most senior luminary present had to take cover in case he , she entered the post presentation Q & A session with a question.

But once all that was over, she was out partying.

She jumped in with this new wondeerboy ‘Shrek’ and was off plundering various eastern Philosophy myths like Shiva the mystique, Rama of Ethics and Krishna of love, sex and erotica.  Durga the feminine barbarian.

To defend ‘Shrek’ , he was indeed brilliant, but he was so brilliant he felt every other fellow human equally intelligent, he couldn’t help ‘coz otherwise he couldn’t relate with the world around him .

Other things like Music, Rock n Roll were etc’s of his intellectual life.

Nothing much.  

When Annie met ‘Shrek’ , he was way too enamoured by her, he simply had no words to describe the feeling, while She was taking all the envy, the admiration, the patronage, the jealousy , the hate and the wish that ‘I wish I were Annie’ feeling among many, with nervous and ‘not quite natural’ aplomb.

They kept bumping on each other , since the after theme party was that of an impromptu rotating Tango party where the moment the music started you had to dance with the person standing next to you.

When the music stopped you just let her go.

You could talk to her . Hold her.

Even propose.

But then it’s entirely different with Annie.   

It was then that he proposed a Rock n Roll + Trance show follow up at Lisbon, over a rare Depeche Mode + Tiesta concert.

Pretty rare.

He was this 6’ something, white, glib talking, reasonably savvy, had a swagger of a confidence that seemed to be something of an embellishment meant to make men, women, girls swoon and eat from his palms.   

And it worked . Famously.

Listen, give a 6 footer with a face of a Asian slum pig and a matching body and gait.

Women, across any part of the world will still love him just for physical fantasy.
Listen Physics matter . They do.

But then , often chemistry matters too.

So
