Laughing all the way

SO i firmly believe in the power of laughter..
A good straight from the belly laugh can go all the way to healing more than what we think we are capable of forgetting.
One smile makes the day for a lot of people.
There is a reason people are watching reruns of F.R.I.E.N.D.S and Seinfeld till now.
So I am going to be grateful to Baba Ramdev for his hilarious claim that homosexuality is a disease and he is going to challenge the court's order. When i finally recovered from the fit of laughter I just started again. He has proclaimed a high pedestal for himself. no offense to his followers. as i have never in my life attended any of his conventions or talks it can be called a tad unfair to judge him here. but since he is judging 2.3 million homosexuals (figure only for India) I think he is beyond consideration. I have caught him on TV during my too frequent channel surfing bouts. But his treatment of his followers did not leave me with a pleasant taste. Apparently he conducts a health camp sort of a thing where all the crowd is on the ground and he sits with a mike on the stage and yells pithy remarks from there. But again his derogatory comments are such a welcome relief to the mundane way fo life for some of us. If someone can actually say such ridiculous and horrendous things the reaction can only be: straight from the gut laughter. He has obviously never heard of Ted Haggard, a former American evangelical preacher who admitted to soliciting a male prostitute for homosexual sex. Religion is immune na Babaji? the path of god is no longer a pure one. Not just in the commercialised sense like temples having shops inside. Read: Siddhi Vinayak Temple, Mumbai. But of the more heinous kind such as Toms River — A Roman Catholic priest, most recently the pastor of St. Rose of Lima Church in Freehold, has been accused in a lawsuit of sexually abusing a boy in the 1980s. Shouldn't a person who has pupils in several countries across the world be more aware? Leave one's sexual preference out of your rambling atrocious speeches and talk about how religion has increasing become a black belly and bilious by nature. won't he be more suitable for that arena of discussion?
Why shouldn't we grab the free entertainment while it's available. Read the paper and what he has to say. Laugh your butt off and go to work. The world is a better place when you are trying hard not to laugh. :)
