(1904-1905) He then joined Pachaippa’s college at Madras where he would fail again on his F.A. exams.

11. The Port Trust Clerical Job Sir, I understand there is a clerkship vacant in your office, and I beg to apply for the same. I have passed the matriculation examination and studied up to the F.A. but was prevented from pursuing my studies further owing to several outward circumstances. I have, however, been devoting all my time to mathematics and developing the subject. I can say I am quite confident I can do justice to my work if I am appointed to the post. I therefore beg to request that you will be good enough to confer the appointment on me. I beg to remain, 9 th february 1912Sir, Your most obedient servant, S. Ramanujan.

In the fog he told young Hardy, ``you cannot see the kite flying, but you feel the pull of the string.’’ But in the fog, Hardy thought, there is no wind and no kite can fly.
