The significance of laughter therapy
Habib Panezai (Char Gul) Amanullah Nasar
The most prominent comic
actor of the 20th century, Charlie Chaplin said “Laughter is the tonic, the
relief, the surcease for pain." In fact, laughter therapy is the procedure
to resurrect the positive emotions, and to help decreasing the depression
level.
In the modern world,
laughter therapy is exercised at laughter clubs. Sometimes, people are to pay
for joining such places where they are being provided an opportunity to fight
the stressors through laughter practices such as laughter yoga.
In particular, especially in the
Pashtun tribes, it has been a longstanding tradition having gatherings of friends
and enjoying themselves. On the hand, professional comedians have never been
encouraged due to strict local conservatism.
It happened years ago, with a natural
and talented comedian Razz Muhammad. Since his name is Razz (a secret) but his
talent is not neither can be” Razo’s small town guy, of Lorlai. He faced
numerous obstacles, discouragement and was completely ignored in the region. He
himself mentioned it several times that his comedy is not to target a
particular group, but just to entertain his people. An artist presents what he
sees and observes in the society. Razz’s parody does the same. It is worth to
mention that the artist gives a strong message in his satiric style to the various
people such as doctors, engineers, teachers, drivers and political
representatives in particular.
After a long period, the comedian returned with much too impressive impact and welcomed by the progressive youth. Last month when the comic actor visited the university of Balochistan, his fan following shown how much he is loved by the young generation. It is appropriate to mention here, Razo comedian is being helped and promoted by some of the local guys in a professional way. They launched a YouTube channel for him ‘Razo Comedian’ and within a month it crossed 5 thousand subscribers.
Previously, in Balochistan a great number of Balochi and Pashto comedians were playing their part to spread happness and joy among the people.For examples, Moeen Akhtar in Pakistan and in Balochistan Amanullah Nasar, Habib Panezai(best known Char Gul), Baloch Khan Nasar(the Late) , Hassan Achakzai were the famous names in the province . PTV Bolan was promoting the local comedians, but from the last few years, the stage programs and the comedy dramas are not transmitted on the channel due the comic actors are forgotten. In short, Life is a problematic .To have few hours with re freshening mind, one should make habits to watch comedy for 10 minutes daily.
