WORLD LAUGHTER DAY 2022: Laughter is arguably one of the most joyous and equally beneficial functions of our minds. Laughter instantly makes you and the surroundings a tad bit more beautiful and positive. And to remind the world about the importance of laughter, the first Sunday of May is celebrated as World Laughter Day.
With a plethora of commotion in our physical and mental state, laughter, sometimes, gets subdued or overshadowed. But we need not forget that laughter is the equivalent of light in the darkness of the wildly complicated nexus of randomness.
WORLD LAUGHTER DAY 2022:Â History
World Laughter Day was first celebrated in Mumbai in 1998 when Dr Madan Kataria, founder of the Laughter Yoga Movement, highlighted a theory through that movement. He hypothesised that facial movements could reflect on the mental state of a person. And so, slowly and gradually, parks and fields in the morning started filling up with roars of laughter. And this is how, with the advent of Laughter Yoga, was born the World Laughter Day.
