That’s me peeps ..India I mean..
I remember my grandad telling me about Ramanujam. He lived in extreme poverty often and had a very hard life. But he was in a league of his own.

(My grandad would have been a boy around when Ramanujam died. He got an M Sc in Mathematics himself and worked as a statistician. He was one of the bureaucrats who implemented the Metric System in India).


From the sublime to the ridiculous: I like to see my country mentioned in some context other than this dude’s marital troubles
