What makes you laugh?

View all responses

Some days, nothing. Other days, everything. Yes, I embrace my eccentricity. :) I cherish the poor jokes in my native language, Tamil. However, one should never behave in a manner that turns them into the laughingstock of all. :P

Indeed, this Kural by Thiruvalluvar resonates with me: நகல்வல்லர் அல்லார்க்கு மாயிரு ஞாலம் பகலும்பாற் பட்டன்று இருள் (naghalvallar allārghghu māyiru ñālam bhaghalumbhāற bhaḍhḍhaனறu iruḻ). It poetically conveys that, for those who cannot find joy in laughter, even the brightest days in this vast world are shrouded in darkness. Indeed, a life devoid of the light of smiles endures perpetual gloom, regardless of its surroundings.
