Thanks for the ``guidance``,but you see there are a lot of non-muslims on this board.Nothing is done here without purpose.

There is an angle to everything!One needs to be multifaceted & well-heeled to appreciate the fine things in life.

Nothing funny here my man!---When I write humour others understand & always convey their appreciation.

Funny you should bring this up. Hopefully you will soon try following your own advice and spare us of your various digital excretions about the various achievements of the islamic world.

It is a lot easier to ram an airplane into a building than it is to design and build one.

Shatru Sinha,

I read a biography on Ramanujam (note the spelling) and there is nothing to suggest that he was a schizophrenic. Why does he have to be one? He indeed suffered from Pulmonary T.B during his last year or so and was frantically trying to finish his work and hastily scribbling his findings on a notebook. This notebook was lost and subsequently found in a Madras Library (hence called the ``lost notebook``). This last year`s work is an area of research among mathematicians in US and Europe.

Thank you Mr.Gill for bringing to our attention a subject which at least I would not have been able to come to know otherwise.

This is the kind of stuff we need more often on CHOWK.I have no use for the usual Indo-Pak sparring where predjudices are flaunted as scholarship & knowledge.

Being in the profession you mention you are in,could you enlighten us about Tesla?

If muslims spend half the time talking & doing science than reminding each other of their past accomplishments,I am sure an encore would be around the bend.

Is there any evidence that Ramanujen himself ,was ALSO schizophrenic?

I have read some bio graphy of Ramanujen,& Indian govt.Did honour by releasing a limited edition Postal Stamp in his honour in 1960 which is collectors item for a past philatelist like me .

Ramanujen died very young upon return from England.He was ravished by malnutrition (resulting in oppertunistic T.b.)because of his understandably strict vegeterian dietery adherence.In U.K. total inability of maintaining adequate nutritional need of any human.Given British diet taboo and absolutely brutal to non meat eater.

Unfortunately ,Ramanujen,didnt live long enough ,who knows may be for better to avoid being vegetative by crippling severe schizophrenia himself.

Absorbing article! Thanks!

Oh boy! I didn`t know that even ``Gill`` was a Muslim surname! Wait till I tell Glenn Turner about this . . .

GSCheema, like most of us Pakistanis, Muhammad is confused about his identity (see Anwar Iqbal`s article) and has forgotten his Punjabi heritage and ancestoral religion. Please forgive him.

Muhammad Gill, apna naaN badal yaar, veekh te sahi, sardar ji di dhui vich mirch lagaN-dai ay.

One of my heroes...it is good to see the wider Chowk community being introduced to him.

Pakistan has Gills? I thought all of them came to our side! So sad. It is painful to see this word Muhammad with Gill and without any Singh.

Article of course is good and written in a style which is becoming of Gills only. Good Job!
