- : In the 14th and 15th centuries, Malabar was a place of feudal brutality. It was a time when fights and duels were the norm and the martial art, Kalaripayattu, had been perfected by the masters. One man who strode across the legends of that time was Tachcholi Othenan, a giant figure who was feared by the powerful and loved by the weak. Even today his stories are sung by the common people of Kerala, in the form of ballads known as Vadukkam Pattukal.

Gifted with a mind that was at once inquisitive and discerning, Bose wondered about the how and why of things from a very young age. His contribution to the world of science was invaluable. As the 1945 edition of 'Encyclopedia Britannica' wrote: "His work was so much in advance of his time that its precise evaluation was not possible."

- : When Albert Einstein was a very young boy, his teachers and his father despaired about his apparent lack of interest in studies. To top it he had speech difficulties and was vague and inattentive. Albert hated the kind of rote learning he was obliged to do in school, memorizing dates and texts. But as he grew older, it became clear that Albert was no ordinary person. 1905 is often termed his 'miracle year', the year he published not one but four entirely new papers, on four completely different topics.
