Dr. Kataria’s Laughter Yoga Diary

Mahendra Shah from Ahmedabad, India was invited by Dr. Sushma Dugad to attend a Laughter Rally and public seminar in Nasik on 15th December 2006 which I attended.

I was extremely touched when Mahendra Shah said he was planning to stay in a hotel and was offered home stay by our laughter leader Dr. Sushma in Nasik.

I asked Mahendra Shah about his home stay experience. He started crying and said that he was treated with more love and kindness than he could have imagined. He was treated like a star and was taken to different laughter clubs every day where he was greeted with garlands, a Christmas cap and a warm shawl. In 3 days he visited 8 laughter clubs, one orphanage and 3 schools for laughter yoga sessions.

We are starting a world wide laughter exchange program and would like to see more and more experiences like this.
