The Day Laughter Changed Everything
Chander Shankar
Making a difference via coaching, mentoring and creating excellence.
When was the last time you truly laughed? Has stress made you forget the joy of simple moments?
In a small village, Hari was once known for his loud, booming laughter. But after his business failed, his laughter disappeared. He spent his days in silence, lost in thoughts of what he had lost.
One day, a little boy named Chintu ran up to him and asked, "Uncle, why did the buffalo cross the road?"
Hari sighed, "I don’t know, Chintu."
"Because it wanted to moooove faster!" Chintu giggled.
Hari shook his head. "That was terrible." But as the boy ran off, Hari felt something strange—a small smile forming on his lips.
The Power of Laughter
That evening, Hari sat by the village well, watching children play and laugh freely. His old friend Ramesh joined him.
"Do you remember how we used to dream of becoming kings? We didn’t get palaces, but we have our families, our friends. Isn’t that worth a laugh?"
For the first time in months, Hari chuckled. And just like that, something changed.
Life is Meant to Be Lived
The next day, Hari visited the tea stall, something he hadn’t done in ages.
"Finally, out of your cave?" teased the chaiwalla.
Hari smirked. "I heard your tea is still the worst in the village, so I had to check."
Everyone burst into laughter. And just like that, life returned to him.
