I was struck in awe the moment I stepped into the exhibition grounds. Leonardo da Vinci was a man who wanted to know everything, and he did knew almost everything. He was an unmistakable polymath whose expertise gave birth to many of our modern inventions. Sadly, a genius's life is often filled with drama and scandal, and his real contributions to society was not known till after his death. The above picture shows one of his many notebooks which he kept his research. After being tried for sodomy, he became much more distrusting and paranoid, thus depriving the world of many of his work which he secretly guarded and that was eventually never found. A great pity isn't it? But a great man is never without his flaws.
