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

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.
