Mohan: your link to the mathematical genius, George is appreciated. I don't understand his area of expertise, but I do understand the following: Simple living and high thinking mark George's life. There have been no material gains. The man has no regrets; it has been a life dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge and he has "emerged immensely rich". There are many a genius, working in the fields, offices, kitchens etc in India. I feel- kinda -sad to know that if they were given the same opportunity that I had, they would have contributed immensely to the betterment of this world. Take this instance. Abdul Kalam, whose father was in fisherman's boat rental* business, has risen to the pinnacle of Indian scientific establishment. This also shows that that No one country can have exclusive claim to intellectual superiority and one may find a genius in the most unlikely places in this world. The genius is natural-born, self motivated and self-driven. We will all be that much poorer if not for people like George. His philosophy and attitude reflect the Gita 's teaching: Pursue knowledge, and don't be concerned with its fruit. Eventually recognition came, but no material gains.... Fisherman's boat = can be a CATAMARAN = TREES (LOGS) TIED TOGETHER = A TAMIL WORD according to English Dictionary. JPR
