उत्तर

Of course yes, the person who is smart and extremely intelligent focuses his entire being on an issue or an invention. Thus all other things are abstracted. Great geniuses like Einstein and philosophers like Tagore tend to forget mundane affairs. Their minds are always preoccupied with lofty ideals and the ills of society. So, it is believed that eccentricity like absent-mindedness is common among very intelligent people. The best example is Einstein. He sat in the railway coach leaving behind his newly married bride in the car. Only on seeing her furious face, he realized the fact that he forgot to take her along into the railway coach.
