Too much pain? - Try LOL
There
is no denying that making people laugh is one of the hardest things to do in
the world. Those who dismiss the comedians as nobodys should be made to stand
in front of a crowd and asked to make a joke without making a joke of
themselves!
But we don't have to always go
for a comedy show or a movie to laugh. There are enough people around us who
can knowingly or unknowingly make us laugh. Taking the example of my elder
sibling who has a very natural sense of humor. Which obviously made her more
popular and, in comparison, made me being titled as boring :(
No prizes for guessing who was
the favorite child in all the social gatherings. I remember the time when we
visited our native place during summer vacations. All the kid cousins would
come out to greet and say a very enthusiastic Hiiiiiiiiiiiii (to the power of
infinity) to my sister. And there will be a sudden drop of energy (likely a
drop by 20000 ft) when the Hi would come to me..Huh!
Ok...So she has always been more of
everything and I have been languishing. But, however, much I envy her for
being more popular and smart, I am also curious to understand why is she like
this. I asked Google but the not-so- smart engine instead started telling me
why I should develop a sense of humor as if I don’t know!
Whenever I have been unable to
reach a conclusion about a personality trait, I put all the blame on the genes
of a person. So yes, it must be the genes with which my sister is born that
makes her so humorous and interesting! But then we come from the same parents
so why are her genes of better quality?
Anyway, my sister is undergoing
a minor heart surgery in the coming weeks. During a Whatsapp call, she
tells me that she is very scared and she expects all her loved ones to be
equally (if not more) scared. She wants all her family members to be present in
the hospital on the day of the surgery. She has also 'ordered' her office
colleagues to visit her in the hospital and make sure to bring flowers. If
people bring fruit baskets too during the visit, she will grinningly take the
basket and say "Oh, you didn't have to do this!".
Basically she wants this to be
a one big Hum Saath Saath Hain event.
And while we work hard to make
this event a success for her, we cant help but admire her spirit for life. She
has chosen to face her fear in style and of course, with a sense of
humor.
Which makes me think - Life is
not easy but with people like her, it becomes more tolerable. And I hope this
little story gives inspiration to some of you who are facing hardships in
life. If not inspiration, I hope this made you laugh.
So for a moment try not to take yourself so seriously, try laughing away the pain and see the magic!
