Annie , Dmitry , Manthiram & Uma were in queit conversation over breakfast, it was drizzling and a bit chilly, they were just outside the Kaziranga forest overlooking the mighty Brahmaputra, which was in full flow just a few metres from where they were seated. They had been invited by the Edwalk team to a resort in Assam where the Edwalk team had also invited the Israeli historian Yuval Smari and the Italian philosopher Umberto Eco for a chat on Philosophy, Politics and the changing idea of liberty with Annie and Dmitry.
Edwalk was basically an organisation that stood for free specch and progressive thought.
Annie & Dmitry on their own had already created a name for themselves on Edwalk.
Yuval was a young Professor of Philosophy & History at the Hebrew University, Tel Aviv.
Umberto Eco was already a legend in the world of Philosophy, the Edwalk team that had arranged for the meeting could be proud of pulling off a coup of sorts to have braught the four together in one place.
Annie was aloof , wasn't ready to talk, in fact was really in a mood to talk , they had just been introduced and they were a bit embarrased by the fact that the meeting wasn't something they had planned and they also knew each suffered their own idiosynchrosises and no one was ready to step on others toes.
Everyone's ego horns were up like mobile towers on a anonymous hill.
Finally , it was Umberto who broke the ice - he ordered wine and all the others ordered their own poison, Annie ordered a Long Island .
Somehow the desired conversation wasn't taking place , the Edwalk team almost thought it might end up into a disaster.
