SECTION 1
In 1887, inwards the town of Kumbakonam
H5N1 infant boy, Ramanujan, was born.
His mom knew inwards her heart,
From the stars she could chart,
This was no ordinary mind.
The man child grew as well as played,
While the woman parent sat as well as prayed,
Namagiri give us guidance as well as strength.
With each passing year,
It grew increasingly clear
This was no ordinary mind.
The teachers at school,
Didn’t know what to do
With this immature man, as well as thus many years ahead.
One gave him a math mass past times Carr –
5000 equations to explore.
For improve or worse, a approving may live a curse.
He lost involvement inwards everything simply math.
SECTION 2
His notebooks filled with formulas
that no i had conceived;
simply his college courses suffered,
as well as thus he was asked to leave.
His woman parent arranged him a marriage
To eleven-year onetime Janaki.
Now he had to beg for a job
To feed his novel family.
Boarded a develop outflow for Madras
Leaving his family, his novel wife, far behind.
Showed his notebook to Inida’s brightest
Hoping to find, at last, to a greater extent than or less other brilliant mind.
Someone who’d understand… his math…The math was equally good far higher upward them
And as well as thus his spirits sank.
They had no means to determine
Was he a genius or a crank?
And as well as thus he sent out letters
To those who mightiness understand
Twas Hardy who finally recognized
The brilliance of this man.
He’d flora person to understand… his math…
Boarded a ship, outflow for Cambridge
Leaving his country, his people, as well as thus far behind.
Thus began math’s nearly famous collaboration,
Between these 2 extraordinary minds.
SECTION 3
Hardy welcomed him to Cambridge.
Helping his talent to get got wing.
But with his skills at that topographic point was a weakness:
He had never learned how to bear witness things.
Ramanujan’s conjectures were ingenious
Despite all the gaps inwards his knowledge.
With Hardy supplying the details as well as proofs,
The results were astounding.
His insights on continued fractions,
Primes, as well as diverging series
Dazzled the best mathematicians,
Alluding to build novel theories.
And with each novel newspaper he published,
He was i stride closer to fame,
Fulfilling his clandestine desire,
That the the world would yell upward his name.
Srinivasa Ramanujan (4x)
Cut off from his domicile as well as his loved ones,
He felt an astute isolation.
The honour he had earned from his colleagues
At times seemed a minor consolation.And with England weather condition as well as thus dreary,
His trunk was wasting away.
While hospitalized for consumption,
The majestic social club honored his name.
Srinivasa Ramanujan (8x)
SECTION 4
In 1919, his wellness was as well as thus poor,
It was finally fourth dimension to build the journeying home.
To pass his concluding days inwards the town of Kumbakonam,
With the bride he’d hardly known.
The lastly twelvemonth of his life,
While nursed past times his wife,
He recorded 600 novel ideas.
To this real day,
His notebooks remain
H5N1 origin of equations to explore.
And i thing’s for sure,
Though his life was cutting short,
The the world volition yell upward his name.
