He took the advise of Narayana Iyer in all these matters. He also showed his equipment to Prof. Seshu Iyer and friends at Presidency College. It is a remarkable fact that he got his hair-style changed was not communicated to Janaki (or Ramanujan’s mother) either by himself or his friends. For Jankai realized for herself how he changed his looks, only after she saw him on his return from England, some 5 years later. One can conjecture from this that Ramanujan could keep secrets and perhaps did not consult either his mother or wife, to avoid incurring their displeasure in case they did not agree to the changes he had decided on at the suggestion of Prof. Littlehailes, Mr. Narayana Iyer and others.
