On Ramanujan
I recall the interview of Janaki, wife of Ramanujan, telecast in 1988 on Madras Doordarshan. She said she married him in 1909 and moved to George Town, Chennai, when he got a job in the Port Trust. She recalled how the thinnai of their house turned into a tuition class. Although she lived with him only for three years — from 1912-1914 and 1919-20 — she described her life with him as satisfying. She recalled the moments when she fed him a morsel of food while he was engrossed in solving equations.
