Srinivasa Ramanujan, the legendary Indian mathematician, has inspired many mathematicians in India and worldwide. It is no surprise that
his name is associated with some major prizes and awards in mathematics.
According to
http://www.actforlibraries.org/overview-of-the-ramanujan-prize/,
there are at least two major
prizes awarded in mathematics, from India. These are awarded by SASTRA University and ICTP (along with the Gov. of India and IMU).

The third, called as "Srinivasa Ramanujan Medal", is awarded by Indian National Science Academy:

In addition to the above, Infosys Science Foundation awards prizes in six categories of science, including
mathematics :

That is why they say "fortune favours the bold".

2-2021 This may happen to you, if you are a mathematician taking a flight !
Why should mathematicians avoid flying ?
This may happen to you too .....
Flight attendant: Is there a doctor on board?
Me: Yes, but I'm not that kind of…
Flight attendant: The pilots are arguing about whether there are as many irrational numbers as rational numbers.
Me: Okay. I’m here.

1-2021 The mathematician who was a tramp
Paul Erdos PGOM, LD, AD,LD, CD
Paul Erdos was a brilliant hungarian mathematician. He was known both for his social practice of mathematics (he engaged more than 500 collaborators) and for his eccentric lifestyle. He did not have a roof of his own, and spent his life as a nomadic tramp.
Possessions meant little to Erdős; most of his belongings would fit in a small suitcase, as dictated by his itinerant lifestyle. Awards and other earnings were generally donated to people in need and various worthy causes. He spent most of his life traveling between scientific conferences, universities and the homes of colleagues all over the world. He earned enough in stipends from universities as a guest lecturer, and from various mathematical awards, to fund his travels and basic needs; money left over he used to fund cash prizes for mathematicians.
He would typically show up at a colleague's doorstep and announce "my brain is open", staying long enough to collaborate on a few papers before moving on a few days later. In many cases, he would ask the current collaborator about whom to visit next.
Who is a PGOM LD AD LD CD ? See this video for the answer.
This, and many more similar stuff is available here. Take a look.
Who says, mathematicians have no sense of humour ?
