Dr. Kataria’s Laughter Yoga Diary

Nasik is a town about 200 kilometers from Mumbai. The 32 local laughter clubs decided to promote laughter yoga and organized a laughter rally to bring awareness about laughter yoga to school children and the general population.

Nearly 1000 children from different schools and 700 laughter club members gathered in a stadium at 7 AM in the morning. They took their “Laughethon” through the streets of the city. Children were dressed in colorful clothes and were dancing along with a band.
Local police regulated traffic while the marchers chanted ho ho ha ha slogans through the streets. Scores of people from the shops and buildings cheered the procession and laughed with them.

The laughter rally lasted for one hour and ended with a cultural program in the stadium.

    
The event was organized by Dr. Sushma Dugad, the chief anchor person of Nasik Laughter Clubs.
