Laugh out loud
A sweet smile, a natural giggle, an innocent chuckle, a good ol’ belly
laugh... On World Laughter Day today, resolve to fix a slot for these in
your daily schedule
As kids, we would burst into giggles at the mere thought of biting into the
gooey Mr Pop. As youngsters, the silliest of pranks played on teachers
had us in splits. As adults, we need a day to remind us to laugh. Sad,
but true, and perhaps, necessary, too. As we celebrate World Laughter Day
today, we tell you how very simple and significant it is to fit in a dose
of laughter in your stressed and humdrum average day. And yes, as we do
that, we can’t help but raise a toast to all our Punjabi funny men who
have tickled funny bones the world over.

Don’t let your
child become a couch potato. There are many fun-filled activities on
offer to make his vacation memorable
 Forget complicated maps and
figures, strict timetables and stricter teachers. Get over those heavy
schoolbags, leaking water bottles and late school busses. If you’re a
kiddo, or a parent of one, your much-fantasised freedom is almost here.
Parked right at your doorstep are the summer chuttis. Time to
sleep till noon, giggle, chatter, hog, travel, learn oops did we say
‘learn’ during vacations? Yup, with fancy summer workshops lined
ahead, you can hardly resist picking up one.

I am 21, studying in a
college. I am seeing a boy of my own age. My parents are disapproving of
the liaison as he comes from a poor background. Marriage has really not
crossed my mind as I think living together would be perfectly fine. But
I do not feel very comfortable about their disapproval. How can I make
them understand? I do not want to give up on my boyfriend or my parents.

Mr. White
Mr. Black: Avoidable
ALARM bells are ringing for Suniel Shetty and Arshad
Warsi. Their films are flopping with unfailing regularity. They are
confused. In desperation, they go to a soothsayer. He advises them to
take a vow. To swap appearances in the next movie featuring both. While
hirsute Arshad should have short hair, Shetty should sport a ponytail.
Their prayers are soon answered. Director Deepak Shivdasani promises to
help them fulfil their pledge and Mr White Mr Black is born.

 Loves me, loves me not… with cheese, without cheese
THE little black dress is hot. A coke can has 142 calories and a diet coke can just 1.3 calories. Warm water with honey and lemon is your new beverage. The track in the neighbourhood park is 1.5 km. So you are on a diet and everything scrumptious has transformed into sinful. Now imagine this, in the midst of your dieting regime.

Traffic self-help
I noticed something new the other day. The small car waiting at a red light in front of mine had a huge black and white sticker splashed all across the rear shield. It said – “Chhote bacche sher ka peecha nahin karte
hain.” After looking at it idly for a while, I understood the message. On the same day I saw another one: “Drove it like you stole it.” I think this a new kind of creativity on the move. However, this gave me a brainwave. After all a lot of our so-called traffic anguish and trials can be much better managed with a lot of labelling and a little bit of psychoanalysis and subsequent adjustment.
