Mumbai residents celebrate World Laughter Day | Around 500 people of different age groups and from different walks of life celebrated World Laughter Day in Mumbai on Sunday. This event hosted by Priyadarshini Laughter Club was one among the scores of such
functions organised in the city to mark the memorable day. Priyadarshini Laughter
Club was set up in 1995 and conducts laughter sessions daily. The participants
forgot their daily worries and indulged in various activities including Laughter
Yoga, also known as the Laughing Buddha. "Laughter is very important in our lives.
Nowadays, 95 percent of the diseases are psychosomatic illnesses. Psychosomatic
illness means sickness caused due to mental and emotional causes. If you think
about something again and again you will develop stress and tension resulting
in depression," said Kishore H Kuvavala, President and Founder of Priyadarshini
Laughter Club. "And all this leads to blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, spondylitis,
slip-disk, insomnia, Parkinson, AIDS and cancer. So, stress is the reason for
all the diseases," he added. World Laughter Day falls on the first Sunday of May
every year. This day reminds the society that laughter is the best medicine to
ward off dangers of modern day monotonous and mechanised lifestyles. |
