• Finally, in 1912, he secured a job as a clerk in the Madras Port Trust Office.• Here, his duties were light and so he
could devote a lot of time to his mathematical discoveries — which he recorded in his now celebrated notebooks.

• As luck would have it, the manager of the office, S.N. Aiyar, was also a mathematician who took kindly to Ramanujan and encouraged him in his mathematics. • It was he who suggested to
Ramanujan that he write to G.H. Hardy, a famous mathematician at Trinity College, Cambridge University.
