It was Annie's third day at the Bangur Hospital of Neurology, Kolkata, she was recovering from a severe bout of Bi-Polar depression and was under medical observation, fortunately for her, this time, she wasn't among strangers at least not people she couldn't relate with - even if her relationsip with Dmitry was hardly a few days, she felt she had known him for years, even if Manthiram was just a friend of Dmitry's, Annie felt very comfortable with his presence, could have been because of the intellectual compatibility among the three, all three seemed to have that EXACT RADIO WAVES moving between them, almost.
It was late afternoon, almost, both Dmitry and Manthiram had left a few books and other research articles, white papers, desertations of PhD., Students from Calcutta University in a small, neatly pecked book shelf for Annie's use. Her room had a TV, a seperate visitors room, a separate reading and work room, a phone, large windows overlooking the hooghly river in the distance, a little kitchen and amenities that gave an impression of a normal house - Dr. Manthiram felt that was necessary for Annie's recovery.
Annie's make shift house was also under constant medical observation for any possible relapse .
Annie was reading a book by Hang Kang, The Vegetarian, she admired it immensely, she had just finished reading Murakami's new publication which was basically a dialogue between Murakami and the Japanese musical genius Ozawa - The Absolute On Music - Annie was overawed by the effort of the two geniuses as Annie read, she never settled reading or focussing on one particular book or one particular activity, she would keep shifting from Murakami to Han Kang to sifting through articles and white papers of research students, suddenly one article caught her attention it was titled ' Exodus, Exile, Spirituality & Fanaticism' .
Soon she was immersed into it, just as she was almost half way through reading the research paper, Dmitry and Manthiram walked in smiling with coffee mugs in hand and the topic and discussion quickly moved into the idea of Exile & Exodus and the idea of Spiritualism's fanatic influences.
Annie : It's so intriguing that the idea of exile and the huge big exodus is so common amongst almost all major religious and spiritual texts - Judaism, Genesis, Bible, Koran, Zaroastranism, Budhism, the Ramayana, The Mahabaratha, The Illiad or the Confucian treatise, Shmanism or Mayan spirituality through out almost all religious and spuiritual texts the idea and motif of exile and exodus seem to be the start of a new vision and a new journey
Dmitry : Basically start of a new hagiography, a new wave of spiritual fanaticism, which eventually graduates to political fanaticism
Manthiram : I agree with both of you but permit to disagree on one perspective .
Not all exile and exodus are driven by fanatics, maybe most mass exile and exodus events were prime emotions exploited by certain spiritual, religious or political cult leaders that resonates through every religious book, rationally speaking Exodus has remained one of human kinds greatest agent of change - both Annie and Dmitry were hearing out Manthiram intently, their faces showed how deeply they had come to respect Manthiram - and I feel one of mankinds biggest of manipulators who use exodus as a means to power and and influence are Spiritual fanatics who then turn and evolve into political fascists , one can never say if tomorrow Dmitry can become a fascist !
So saying Manthiram laughed out loud ! All three laughed out at that statement . Soon Dmitry intervened -
"Fascism , Fanaticism are corollraies of Feudalism and inequality amongst society, as the sense of social egalitarianism improves fascism and fanaticism take a back seat" - nobody knows this theory better than us Chinese.
Deng Xiaoping, was a quick learner and a great opportunist, he knew from the collapse of the USSR that loosening the iron curtain was a key to his survival and that meant his party's surivival and then he had to embark on an massive PR campaign both internally and externally to make sure he did not in history as the man who was responsible for the disintegration of CHINA , Deng's "improved version" of Gorbachev's perestroika turned out to be a 'Golden Goose' for Chinese economy
The Chinse Midas added Annie smiling
Deng and the magic wand laughed Manthiram as he gestured Abra Ca dabra with his palms ... in the backdrop the TV in Annie's room was showcasing some old hindi songs from bollywoods black and white era, all three knew the songs so they were humming along
Annie suddenly felt she wants to step out , she announced let's party at the PARK
Dmitry looked at Manthiram
Dr. Manthiram looked pensive
