      Members of a laughter club participate in a laughing exercise in Mumbai, India. Hundreds of people, who believe that laughter is the best medicine for a happy and healthy life, took part in an attempt to break a world record of the largest gathering of senior citizens at a laughing exercise.

Some 10 or so years ago I went with my entire office for a team building day and this laughter yoga was one of the exercises. I like to fancy myself as rather jovial but could not "fake it til you make it" as was the catchphrase. Meanwhile a couple of the ladies could not stop even when the exercise was over, as though they were watching a Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson film while being simultaneously tickled.

As an aside yet related thought, Peter of Toward a Better Future posted a most excellent read about Bangladesh which put in proper context is a province of India.
