When I was young and came to Calcutta after partition ., I learnt about RELATIVITY without knowing who Einstein was. .
We were in Central Calcutta (now Kolkata ) and ,one day asked a gentle man while walking to my college - Sir , how far is Dakshin-eshar ? And sharp came his reply - ' It is on the North and long beyond '. and the elderly gentleman walked fast leaving me lost in wonder !
How can Dakshin( meaning 'South') -eshwar ,be to the north !! ---and I walked on and on wondering ! and learning long after .
