Lets Laugh together

-

This article is mainly focused on the topic of “learn to make fun and laugh at yourself”


6th May is celebrated as the World Laughter Day which was started by Dr. Madan Kataria who was also the founder of Worldwide Laughter Yoga Movement.

We all try to keep ourselves physically fit by doing exercises in gym/home or some kind of sports but never pay attention on the mental exercises that are also important for us to be free from stress which includes laughter and meditation.

  • Meditation is required for increasing our concentration and sharpening our focus while Laughter is important for decreasing our frustration and to keep a pleasant state of mind.

The World Laughter Day is not celebrated just to perform laughing exercises/yoga on that particular day but it is a remainder to everyone that no-one should ever forget laughing even if their life is busiest & cruellest.

Laughing exercises include many things like different laughing yoga, fun with friends, spending quality time/going on vacation with family/friends to keep a constant smile on our face.

Now if a question is raised,” Do all of you want to be just happy forgetting about your stress and problems? Everyone will say “yes. But is it practically possible?”
Yes. It is possible by just learning one thing-


LAUGHING AT YOUR OWN SELF


It is common to make fun and mock others and have a laugh but if we start laughing at our own self, at our own weaknesses/failures without bringing our ego in between, thereafter we can get release from any kind of stress. Let’s take an example
  •       We are standing with our friends and suddenly everyone starts making fun of something odd that we spoke. We can’t argue back and so we also start laughing with them. But deep inside our heart we are not happy at all and keep stressing our mind to come up with a joke to throw at others. So can we call this laughter as getting free from stress?

 Don’t just laugh or be happy for the sake of showing it. Instead getting happy from our heart should be our main goal to follow. The real laughter exercise is to laugh at the jokes made upon us. Fun made upon us never harms any person except us as we get frustrated from over thinking for the joke which leads to insecurity and “Insecurity can never be a friend of happiness”
  •       A boy had been suffering from Polio & was not able to stand properly. His friends around him always showed sympathy towards him. But he was somewhat different from rest. He always use to make fun of his own disorder and always tried to create a pleasant atmosphere around him by creating jokes. He never thought of his disorder in a negative way but always motivated himself and people around him by saying that,

“Life will always test you by giving hard time. It just depends on how you try to handle it.”

  •       Dr. Hansraj Hathi (character from Tarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashma) who died last year was so fat in his real life & in his starting days people around him used to mock a lot about his fat body. But he never took it negatively & instead he got selected as well as gained success in TMKOC for his fat body & a good sense of humor.


The basic thing to laugh at your own self depends upon how you can express yourself in public. The greatest plague that is being spread among the minds of people is “What will others think?” We worry about our image and ego so much that we are never able to express ourselves.

Did we even care for all this in our childhood? We all love our childhood and want it back. Then why are we killing the child that is still inside us? Why can’t we still express ourselves as we use to do in our childhood? Is childhood necessary for being Happy or the child which is in our heart?

So to remain happy and to always keep laughing, never ever get frustrated for the jokes cracked upon us. Instead take it as a fun, make 2 more jokes on yourself and make your own fun. Make everyone feel the change inside you and never worry about how the outside world will react. Always be happy and keep laughing as 

Laughing is the best mental exercise.

Outer World Vs Inner World: A Journey Within

-
The Motive Behind Exploring "Outer World vs Inner World" In a world where external achievements, appearances, and performances dominate our daily lives, we often overlook the most vital space we inhabit — Our Inner World . This is where our emotions, thoughts, fears, values, and dreams reside. It is the truth of who we are. The Outer World , on the other hand, is the space everyone else lives in — each person carrying their own invisible inner realities. Ironically, while real change and growth begin from within, we constantly strive to control the outer world — something that’s never fully in our control, as each individual lives by their own values, feelings, and perceptions. When we fail to influence it the way we want, we feel stressed, disappointed, and sometimes even angry with ourselves for not being able to control others. So, the question arises: If becoming a better person starts with mastering the Inner Self, why do we invest most of our energy trying to influence ...

Wish Vs Goals: The Real Difference that shapes Success

-
In life, success is something we all strive for. From our academic years to the start of our careers, we put in our best efforts to achieve something meaningful—to get a good job, earn recognition, and live a life of value. But despite our hopes and hard work, not everyone reaches the destination they dream of. Why? Because wishing for success is not the same as planning for it. When we see someone driving a luxury car or living in a grand villa, we often think, “I wish I had that too.” It’s a common reaction. We desire those outcomes. We imagine ourselves in that position. But the real question is—how do we plan to get there? Hope gives us the vision but not the roadmap. A goal, on the other hand, begins where hope ends—with a question: “How will I achieve it?” This simple but powerful question turns a vague wish into a clear objective. It gives birth to action, effort, and strategy. Let’s consider a common aspiration: “I want to be at a managerial level within 3 years.” It’s...

The Silent Strength that Shapes Our Lives- WOMEN

-
From the moment we are born, a woman begins to shape our lives in ways we often do not fully realize. From nurturing a child and managing a home to building values and supporting her family with strength and dedication, a woman carries multiple responsibilities with remarkable balance. Managing all these roles together is not common — it takes an extraordinary woman to do it every day with love and commitment. Women bring life into this world and teach us how to live it. A mother is our first Guru and our first teacher. From our first step to the values we carry through life, women play a crucial role in shaping who we become.  Beyond the home, women also contribute immensely to society. They have a unique ability to nurture relationships, resolve differences, and bring people together. Today, women are also rising and excelling in every field, including business, leadership, and sports. Talking about myself, I feel truly privileged to have two incredible women around me who consta...
