Laughing Out Loud

One of most heart warming praise i got was from a batch mate recently, and that too for my laugh. I was not expecting it and he put it so subtly, i was left speechless. He mentioned that my laughter was one of the most beautiful laughter that he has heard, it is an expression of freedom, if one asked him what is freedom, he would mention my laugh. He added that my laugh is so open hearted, he wished he could do it the same way.

A few days later he said that since he is an AV Student and he would have to produce some work, he will encapsulate my laughter in his production.

I was touched both the times, and thanked him profusely, for his kindness.



Apart from dance if i love something, it is to laugh. Over the time, i have developed such affinity to it that i need only a little or no provocation and i burst out laughing. Most of the times i laugh on situations and reactions of people, the jokes others laugh on are a little less funny to me. Laughing has become part of me, rather me itself, people introduce me stating my name and my laughter, they greet me and ask me to laugh, they say they walk into the mess and feel happy and alive when they hear me laugh.

On the other hand, people do get irritated, i see that clearly on their faces or when they complain, guards in my hostel did that twice and not always students appreciate my cacophonous and piercing laughter in classrooms or at mess. But as my friends point out and i observe myself, i do spread smiles through my  laughter. I am just glad to do that.

Laughing gives me pure pleasure, i forget everything else when i laugh. It makes me high, at the end of it, am overwhelmed, which i get often. Am hooked to it, it is my addiction, my obsession.

I will conclude by saying that many people ask me why and how i laugh so much. So here it is, to put it in short, i realised once that life is to be enjoyed fully, in every possible moment and i do just that. I have always enjoyed laughing, though really pleasured myself through this since past 2-3 years, and been loud too, so madness and raucousness amalgamated, and the rest, keep your ears at ready.

Experiences : Exponential and Exaltation

The tech savvy generation, which even i belong to, heart fully expounds that world is now in our pockets, everything just a click away. In principle it is indeed true. But tangibly, no. I am perplexed and astounded; am deliberately using superlative adjective forms in order to lay across the magnitude of my perplexity; am in awe by the enormity of the experiences the world has to offer.

The tabla strokes, the melody in a voice, a play of colours, the story a dancer conveys through her dance, leap of a badminton player, a picture portraying beautiful moments, a random knowledgeable learning, left speechless by the brilliance of praise, the intense discussions........ Living all these experiences in a short period of time has left me overwhelmed.

Its been two and half months since i started my post graduation. The experience has been, like i said, overwhelming. My friends and those who are not my friends, are magnificently talented. At times i feel small in comparison to them and also, at the same time, am glad that among everyone, being one of the youngest and privileged enough to witness their abilities, i now am more aware of the world around me, better focused and determined to mark my presence and willing to learn and experiment.

In return, I feel gratified and content to be able to spread smiles. The state of me being happy has attained new dimensions and whenever i sit and record all the events of the day , it makes me realise just how blessed and fateful i am.

Whenever you read this, tap your back on my behalf because you must have been a reason for my happiness and many others. I hope i can return the favour doubly.

(All smiles here)
