One minute silence for Ramanujan, Hardy and Littlewood. Great souls.😔

Prof. Hardy is a real unsung hero in the story of Ramanujan! During the British Raj, much of Indian talent was despised and discouraged in India by the powers that were, and still Ramanujan was able to rise above all these hurdles put in his path. We must have a statue of Hardy and Ramanujan together somewhere to commemorate that wonderful and real partnership between two extraordinary individuals.

Ramanujan is a historical peer of great minds like Mozart and Einstein. He should be better known to (and revered by) the general public.

Still to this date, I get goosebumps thinking just how much more he could have revolutionized the world of mathematics, if he had lived a few more years.

"Hardy ranked 'natural talent' in mathematicians: Hardy 25, Littlewood 30, Hilbert 80, Ramanujan 100." Wow! That's not even on the same scale!

The dude understood the most complex of subjects on his own and actually had acquired more advanced knowledge the collective history of mathematics took centuries to do

The person who came out of rules never asks questions. But any person who comes up by himself will be full of questions.

In Chennai there is a IT building named after him called Ramanujum IT City, it gave me goose bumps when I went there many years ago.

What beautiful handwriting Ramanujan had and what a sense of proportion for arranging material on a page - it says ‘trustworthy’!
