Poor Ramakrishnan! We Indians won’t even let him work. His only crime, he happens to be the seventh Indian (or Indian origin) to win the Nobel Prize. A nation of one billion people, we started sending congratulations, each according to his might that his computer system crashed. And with it is gone all his important documents and research papers. All his life-time achievement seems to be deluged in the sycophancy of the largest sycophantic nation of the world.
Success has many fathers but failure has none. In the temple town of Chidambaram, teachers vie with one another claiming to have taught the Nobel laureate chemistry in schools where he never went. Anecdotes depicting his genius and his singularly profound respect for the teacher are invented by the hour that story-telling has become a cottage industry in this town.
