Midsummer's gloom

Shit happens.. You cant change the law of nature.. To err is human.. When you go for spectacular, you should be proud of even your mistakes! These are some of the things my barber blurted out when i asked for a reasonable explanation for what he had done with my hair. Not that i care. I could never figure out the things that supposedly looks good on you. It might have something to do with my being brought up in the jungles of north-east, but the whole concept is lost on me. Looking good you say? Why? What possible purpose would it solve?
Unless you are looking for a girlfriend- in which case, dressing nicely is more of a prerequisite than a manoeuver. Speaking of which, i wonder if i fall on the wrong side of the sex ratio, among the hundred odd males that were sent without a "jodi" from heaven. That would certainly explain a lot though. But a better explanation would be my lack of trying. i'd settle for that. Until recently i wasn't even thinking on the these lines, about a girlfriend, but then suddenly i realized that i was among the few singles with no escapade to recount, and this got me thinking: What have i missed? And then Anurag came and told me i really need a gf to keep me in line (and here i was, settled for my right hand, enjoying my independence). Not that i agree with him, but he certainly gave me food for thought.
Last few months have been the worst of my life. I have all the signs of depression except the real thing itself. Its gotten to a point where i screwed up my exams and didn't feel a thing. So when people ask me why have i stopped blogging, i say its because things have stopped being funny. But here i am anyway, typing away my thoughts as they come, hoping for something to change. Its a long summer ahead of me, and change would be welcome, even though so far there's nothing to indicate any ray of hope.
I have no idea why i am writing this online, unedited on a blog which goes unnoticed. But i need to do something i didn't do yesterday. Its a change, right?
BTW, i just finished Life of Pi, which turned out to be refreshing. It reminded me of the short story we read in Tenth class- the lady or the tiger. I have a few good books lined up for the summer, that ought to keep me company.
Hope your summer is better then mine. And hope mine gets better too.
