Sultana, Harshdeep, Sanjeev T, Leslie Lewis and Papon What’s coke-ing?
Let's acknowledge it for once — the Indian entertainment industry, including music, films, comedy and fashion, is known for taking a cue from other countries. Before you form a judgment, this exercise is only for the sake of inspiration. So, when we thought of bringing down The Coke Studio Pakistan to India, we were pretty much sure of recreating the same magic and fan-following.

Laugh away your worries
We were all clutching our stomachs and literally laughing our guts out. Someone had just cracked a joke and my sane and sober self was almost falling off the chair in peals of laughter.  Laughter is honestly one of my favourite stress management strategies simply because it's attitudinal and it's free. In today's world when there is a price attached to everything it's a major relief to find something that does not come with a price tag. A sense of humour is one of 24 main signature strengths one can possess and laughter perhaps is one of the most powerful tools of positive psychology. A research has shown that the health benefits of laughter are far ranging. It is seen that laughter reduces pain, brings happiness and increases immunity among all its other benefits.
