Some jokes can be enjoyed in its original language only and it loses flavour if translated, e.g., " Prasanna aisa jadugar hai, woh har Ithwar ko sab ko prasanna kartha hai."
In all my 45 years of marriage, I cannot predict my wife’s reaction to my jokes. I factor in all possible factors such as her predisposition, preoccupation, moods including weather forecast. Yet the probability of thunder and lightening is very high. She defies ChatGPT in her ability to access historical records (more misdeeds than deeds) That my friend is not funny ! You can laugh at my cost to keep laughter alive !!
The advent and increasing popularity of social media coupled with mushrooming of nuclear families has killed the "humans are social beings" factor.
Meeting people physically and having hearty laughs came down to talking on phones and this has further deteriorated to just chats and messages. The conversations have ceased and emojis rule the roost in the world of communication.
The saying that "laughter is the best medicine" has disappeared into oblivion.
Truly miss the good old days when life was less complicated and human bonding was valued.
A sense of humor is truly a gift. Loved reading this post and completely identify with it.
A person with a wit and great sense of timing always make the most difficult situation or negotiation turn positive. It makes the world a better place and fertile for positive outcomes.
What should and was a natural human trait is being lost . To remember such natural behaviour someone has inveneted a DAY for each - Laughter , Love ( valentine ) , Mothers , Fathers , et al.
