Einstein Comfortable in BathTub

One of my freinds, Doctor Rammanohar Lohia, had gone to see Albert Einstein – Doctor Lohia was educated in Germany. And he reached exactly on time.

Albert Einstein;s wife said,’You will have to wait a little. I cannot be sure how long,because he is in his bath and he never likes to be disturbed while he is in his batch. And one never know how long he will take.”

Doctor Lohia said.”I can wait.”He thought maybe fifteen minutes,half an hour- what more can one do in a bath? Six hours..the wife gave him breakfast,the wife gave him lunch…and he said.”My God, and he is still in his tub? What is he doing?” The wife said,”In the begining when we were married, I used to disturb him and that kept him angry the whole day. He would throw things, and he would make all kinds of nuisance and shout. He gets very much disturbed, because he has made all his discoveries about the stars in his tub, in his tub with a bubble bath. he goes on playing with bubbles,soap bubbles..for him, those soap bubbles are stars. And he works out…I don’t know how he works it out,but he works it out- he has written all over the bathroom on the walls. i will show you his bathroom; it is all mathematics.”

And after six hours Albert Einstein came out, and he said,”So you have come? You have come just at the right time.Just as I come out of the bathrrom,you are sitting here.” Doctor Lohia said.” I have been sitting here for six hours!” He said,”My God! but just forgive me, because when I am in my tub with soap bubbles then I forget time completely. Then only stars and all the equations about new stars, their distances…you should see my bathroom.”
And Doctor Lohia told me,”The both took me to the bathroom. All the walls had great equations”- beyond his capacity because he was not a mathematician.He said,”You have made the bathroom your lab.” He Said,”I have not made it, it has become a lab by itself.These soap bubbles somehow resemble stars.”
