[1693] Excerpts from a Father's Wisdom

Do not worry about Despair
Just comb your hair
Despair is a strange disease
I think it even happens to trees.

     -- A. K. Ramanujan

Sometimes a poem seeps in without one realising, and resonates. Ramanujan,
in my opinion the finest Indian poet to have written in English, is often
simple and matter-of-fact in his themes. Yet I find these lines haunting and
melancholic and memorisable.

Rama Rao.
