Ramanujam Way!

Ramanujam Way! Constantly I am reminded by an anecdote reading from the late Ramanjam’s life history. This anecdote does not qualified authentic backing from internet readings of late Ramanujam. The anecdote goes like this: Ramanujam due to his health and poverty reasons settled for a small time job in a shipping company in then Madras. Bored with the ongoing work, he kept on preparing his mathematical theoretical premises, propositions, solutions on papers available within his reach. One of his friends noticed the genius in Ramanujam and forwarded these papers to Prof Thomas Hardy and the rest is history! I am amazed by this turning point in his life! I call it the Ramanujam way, if I am allowed to do so!
