A2 Adil, Wed Always stand up when someone enters a room to greet them. Don’t just sit and offer them ahandshake Stand up and greet them with respect. Start a random conversation with strangers to boost your social skills. It would help you to talk toanyone and anywhere and this will also help you to feel more confident. Never say “No” for any favour asked, immediately, to anyone. Ask for some time to think, and later onreply negatively. Don’t help unless asked.

You need to stand out from the rest of the crowd so take action if you feellike someone needs help and don’t shy away. Be the first one to smile in a metro, in your office, anywhere.

Q4 What aresome of the lesser known facts about Ramanujan? A4 Ankita, Bsc.(H)Mathematics from LadyShri Ram College for Women (Graduated 2019)Updated 3y Srinivasa Ramanujan - The Man who knew Infinity. By the age of 13, he had completed adavanced trigonometryand discovered complex theorems on his own. He never had anyfriends in School because his peers rarelyunderstood him at school & were always in awe of his mathematical acumen. When you were 17,you would probably be wondering about crushes and college applications. But at17, Ramanujan had developed Bernoulli numbers and calculated Euler’s constantup to 15 decimal places. He used tocomplete his mathematics exam in just half of the allotted time. As a young man, hefailed to get a degree , as he did not clear his fine art courses , although heperformed exceptionally well in mathematics. He got married to a 10-year-old child bride Janaki, onJuly 14, 1909. Because paper was expensive , poor Ramanujan often used toderive his results on slates to jot down results of his derivations. In England whenRamanujan was ill, G H Hardy went to see him at Putney. Hardy took a taxicabwith the number 1729. On arriving Hardy said to Ramanujan that the number wasrather a dull one. To this, Ramanujan said that it was an interesting numberand that it was the smallest number that can be expressed as a sum of two cubesin two different ways. 1729 = 1^3 + 12^3 1729 = 9^3 + 10^3 During his shortlifespan, Ramanujan was plagued by some disease or the other. Right after getting married, he developed a condition knownas Hydrocele testies. He was a staunchly religious person with very pleasant manners. In Cambridge, he once said toHardy, “An equation for me has no meaning unless it expresses a thought ofGod”. Birthday of Ramanujan (December 22) is celebrated as“State IT Day” in Tamil Nadu. In 2011, the IndianGovernment declared his birthday as National Mathematics Day. On 22 Dec 2012 , 2012 was declared as National MathematicsYear in India by former Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh. In his last yearof life, Ramanujan compiled some 600 mathematical formulae and listed themwithout any proof. On 13 October 1918, he became the first Indian to beelected as a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. The culturaldifference eventually took a toll on his health. He was diagnosed with severevitamin deficiency and TB. He then returned to India in 1919 and died thefollowing year, at the young age of 32. By Hungarian Mathematician PAUL ERDŐS: Suppose that werate mathematicians on the basis of pure talent on a scale from 0 to 100. Hardygave himself a score of 25, Littlewood 30, Hilbert 80 and Ramanujan 100. Q5 What's themost magical thing about life?
