Humor For Heart
Laughter the best medicine
Like a Welcome Summer Rain, Humor may suddenly cleanse and cool the earth, the air and you. – Langston Hughes
Is it so? Who says? Remember
In college, friends will crack a silly joke and every one laugh and somehow it will trigger a series of laughter. The after effect of which will remain on everyone’s face in the form of a smile.
Your child smiles at you innocently after using your lipstick all over the cheeks [It might not the case with some one’s else child]
For instance by mistake,
- Send a message to a wrong person.
- Use ‘he’ for ’she’ or ‘she’ for ‘he’.
- Wear a shirt inside out as you are lost in thoughts.
There are wide range of things which will make you smile or laugh. The situation might have been embracing for you at that moment but it will bring a smile on face later when you think about it.
