RB -- I have a conscious soul!! -- and since I accepted the Love the Lord offers us all, when I am dead, I'll be with Him.

I know I'm luckier than many even now -- with the love of children and grandchildren, but KNOW I'll be infinitely happier soon, and will enjoy life with Him for a LOOOOONNNNGGGGGGG time.

Hope maybe you have (or will) enjoy His free gift and I'll laugh and visit with you for years and years and years.

Quoted in Godfrey H. Hardy, "Ramanujan" 1940

I remember going to see him once when he was lying ill in Putney. I had ridden in taxi-cab No.1729, and remarked that the number seemed to be a rather dull one, and that I hoped that it was not an unfavorable omen.

"No" he replied, "it is a very interesting number; it is the smallest number expressible as a sum of two cubes in two different ways."


( It is the sum of 1 X 1 X 1 and 12 X 12 X 12 , and also the sum of 9 X 9 X 9 and 10 X 10 X 10. )

A little more about India's greatest mathematician Srinivasa Aiyangar Ramanujan.
