                Dramanujan was not his real name, it was a given name. It was given to him by his fellow students at his ashram. He was so clumsy that a guy falling off a banana peel would be less clumsy and unlucky than dramanujan. And he was such a simple fellow that he would not hide his reactions and emotions while doing these clumsy acts. That was why he was called dramanujan, his mates thought he was always upto some kind if theatrics.

                 He wasn’t exceptional at studies either, so even the teachers showed little interest in his antics. Only his mother kind of understood him but she was far away in the raj mahal of Santholi. Once while on a field trip in the forest for studying the fauna of the jungle, dramanujan’s group encountered a lion. Dramanujan had his back towards the lion so he continued plucking on the bushes and grimacing in pain because of the thorns which the lion must have thought of as a little goat trapped in bushes.hence dramanujan’s antics had caused another drama.

                 Dramanujan’s mates all stood there frozen without saying a word in front of the lion. Dramanujan felt a warm liquid touch his feet, he swished around to find it was collective stream of urineof the bully far-right gang of hariya,budhiya and kaluaa touching his feet. After turning around he saw the lion and let out a majestic dance and scream conundrum that startled the Lion. The lion ran for its life and maybe let out a bit of territory marking fluid as well. Dramanujan’s drama alerted the teachers and guards and they came to the rescue.

                After that day Dramanujan was celebrated as a Hero. But as we know fame has its disadvantages. Now even the teachers and staff of the ashram started calling our Hero Dramanujan. His real name was lost in history like Atlantis or city of troy.
