Laugh Often

Smiling is one thing. Some people don't believe in smiling. They like to have this very stern, serious so called sexy expression on their face. They are in some sort of an attitude all the time. Even when they smile it is so fake. We can always see a lot of fake smiles...cloned fake smiles at beauty pageants that endorse Pretention to the core. I can almost see the fake smile of Aishwarya Rai when she went for the Miss World Contest. She was definitely in the top 10 worst looking participants that night with that grin adding to her personality completely. At that time she used to give a parrot's speech about peace and the woman's role in spreading peace and love everywhere she went. She did fix that smile quite a bit...now the grin sucks totally.

But true hearty laughter is the real thing. I knew an aunt whom I haven't seen in ages she laughed like a horse. It was so loud. There is a thought, that we should never really stop laughing because it is good for our health. It helps our immune system and it also boosts our intelligence.

Laughter is contagious they say, which is quite true. People in a group may follow one another when one person breaks into a good laugh. In many countries around the world, hospitals formally have group laughter therapy sessions for patients. India is one of the popular follower of laughter therapy where Laughing Clubs are just as popular as Rotary Clubs are in USA. 

I think we should definitely try it out someday...the laughter therapy and see the difference it makes in our life. My sister and I tried it one day but couldn't really even start the laughter itself. We didn't pursue it but hope to practice it. In Pakistan, people don't laugh much. Here people mostly watch news channels.

Fake sex video of Salman & Katrina

A fake sex video of Salman Khan & Katrina Kaif is on the net. It came out in Canada. Both Salman Khan & Katrina have preferred to keep mum about it. The 2 individual in the video resemble them a lot & it has been said that it was difficult to identify them as fake.

Some people really have so much time in the world. Salman Khan has always been my favourite actor & I just don’t like it when people give him such a hard time. Anyway, celebrities have to put up with a lot of shit.

Few days ago, I saw this video on Fatima Bhutto & George Clooney. It seems people love to throw dirt on anyone who is anything. In fact, they do even when somebody is nobody.

The Curious Case of Wana Kana

This is the story of Wana Kana – a man of innumerable qualities and countless shades of life like a chameleon. We don’t know if he can aspire anyone, but yes what he does very conveniently is raise our curiosity bar. And that should not come as a surprise to us, because this is the very “nice and sweet” curious case of Wana Kana.

Our story goes back many years ago when Wana Kana was a tender boy of eighteen - all excited and enjoying his youth and adolescence. He lived his life to the max at every phase. He was the sweetest brother mankind had ever seen. He smiled with them and posed as the lovely boy with heavy smiles. He was a gem amongst his peers. Leader of the Peers. Deadly as a devil. Dirty as any boy turning out to be a man but with a very high intensity. Heat was always on around him – we too felt it and wondered why? What? Was that a loud gas? Hmmm.

Time flew by and Wana Kana became a grown man. Responsible, aged, established and married too. Marriage was important for him …the all important phenomenon making him complete. But as a result of his excessive happiness, his eyes popped out permanently.

Wana Kana was henpecked. He was the poo of his wife. He was the Complete Wana Kana. Perfect husband as you may say. In his early days of marriage, he used to sing for his wife:

Akeli naa bazaar jaya karo
Nazar lag jayegi
Sab ki nazar main naa aya karo
Nazar lag jayegi

He grew up quickly, but he got fatter and bigger even more rapidly. He bloated with happiness after his marriage and a few devilish kiddos. He got everything at the right time. He had every reason to grow bigger by the day!

Rich Wana Kana loved traveling too. He auctioned an album of his travels. But sadly every picture in the album had lesser of the wonders of the world and more of the Fatso Wana Kana. That was but natural. He couldn’t help it.

So he put on his terribly small shades on his humorously huge face and walked through the streets of the world. He swam all the way across the world. He mingled with all the creatures of the world. He posed and gave the fake smile, but captured every joy and every memory.

Wana Kana had everything and was pretentiously sweet and nice and fake his entire life - fulfilling life to the core! Lovely job, big flashy home, pretty weird wife, devilish kids, adventurous travels and barbaric animalistic friends. All seasons clicked. Every story saved with pride.

And this was the Curiously Fake but True Case of Wana Kana.

He sings and dances madly to the beat now…killing us all the more with his moves…

Yeh lamhe
Yeh pal hum
Barso yaad karay ge
Yeh mausam chalay gaye tou
Hum faryad karay ge
Barso yaad karay ge
