This is one of the "Those who know, know" things!! The likes of Shivani and Sangeeta are going to need lot of Popeye-brand spinach to carry themselves through.

A glimpse into lives of geniuses like Alan Turing reiterates that isolation is the foremost price for being genius. This is where a community of people who are non-judgmental, appreciative, and understanding can make all the difference. Without Christopher, most probably, there would be no 'the codebreaker of Enigma' - Turing. The least we can do for young Turings is to provide them a community of Christophers.

When the intellect of a genius is in the same flask as childhood vulnerability and naivety, the resultant reactions need a strong neutralizer which can safeguard the child's emotional and mental state well-being. Time and again Mother Nature endows us with these precious beings; let us all strive to be worthy enough to keep receiving them :-)
