“Doc’, I forgot to shake the bottle before I took the syrup” The Doctor quipped: “Then, you shake your body”
It’s not a joke! It’s the real thing in life, because most of the illness is due to being either mentally idle or physically so, being glued to a seat. Hence do listen to rock-n-roll. Or, briskly take a daily walk to your temple or mosque or chapel or a mind-gym. Not necessary, God should be inside the closed walls. Give your attendance. And be involved too.
Coming to our point, smile is the in-thing of laughter in life – It’s not only the best-made visual sign or signal on your face that has all sensory organs. A grin adds to face-value. Yes, it is the best-made sign, like saying ‘good morning,sir’ , like we do orally.
It is also the best medi-sign or medicine. It has a double action. INSIDE your body :- your loud laughter tends to shake your body. The advantage : the internal muscles especially of lungs take a free exercise besides doing its non-stop job of lub-dub. In fact and in the act, any feeling of affliction in your mind goes off. Next OUTSIDE your body :- the grin or the broad beaming smile which one can hear thru ear electrifies others around you, charging the atmosphere – positively. Also, you get re-charged. You are one of a society. Or, the Society is just a part of you. Laughter is just one way to get rid of monotony or boredom. Hence a lecture or sermon is sprinkled with jokes to keep the audience spell-bound. Some play music in between their delivery. Praise Church choirs.
Mind-doctors say, initially any stranger staring at another stranger – in the first 30 seconds, has to form an interim opinion via an artificial magnetic field – rightly or wrongly, friendly or unfriendly, consciously or unconsciously. Hence you at times find two such strangers bodily close to each other in a train ending up in a flare-up, even before talking, because they already done the communication thru a bare stare with a negative emotion i.e without a smile. So why not beam a smile rather than having a long face, because smile begets smile ? Laughter is a good pause for cases of having to be together.
LAUGHTER is the best mode of e-motion, not anger or being loved. All emotions can be recalled and switched on at will for a man of imagination, at times, of evil. . Do the plus, not the minus. We humans like to dwell in this e-motive experience, which can be evoked, e-woken up like pressing a button for a cup of coffee. Laugh, but don’t be a laughing stock. Certainly reject that mischievous, sinister grin of a villain who laugh at others. But this act or his villany doesn’t last. A good laugh is when all people do it altogether sans a sense of offence or insult. Do anything to get this good disposition of mind, my dear.. It’s a press-button will. Of Humans. Of course, I do but all I, as a PA to a CEO, got back on phone was : “ Tumahra, Boss ka mood kaisa hai ?”. Coz, a happy mood is a good starter. Finding over phone & then meeting him was a great boon.
