It was about his work on infinite series and partitions, which our maths master said made a Cambridge professor sit up. But I think it’s famous because a postmaster's clerk from Kumbakonam wrote "I am a poor man" and still asked for his theorems to be judged—that takes a different courage. I know this because I copy his formulas into my notebook, but my own letters to my father in Dubai are only ever about my exam scores.
