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.

Aishwarya clarifies over false ‘whiteface’ reports

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has given her clarification over the reports of her filing a suit against a magazine.

Her spokesperson Imagesmiths has clarified in this letter sent to us by saying –

“We would like to put on record the article printed in Mumbai Mirror dated the 27th of Dec is in fact false (“Ash might sue for 'whiteface'”). The statement made therein by the author is self created and bears no representation to our client or the Bachchan family.

Our client Aishwarya Rai Bachchan or the Bachchan family is not in any form of communication with the tabloid Mumbai Mirror and as such the story is an attempt to use their names to make news and a sensational article. We regret the same as such fictitious articles lead to rumour mongering.

We would wish to clarify that Any Statement or Opinion that our client Aishwarya Rai Bachchan needs to give will be given via her spokesperson that is Imagesmiths.”

It all started when a fashion bible carried the picture of Aishwarya Rai with a white bleaching botch-up on her face.
