The highlight of the day was the Laughter Show epitomizing the age-old saying “Laughter is the best medicine”. The Laughter Show was organized along with Laughter Yoga International, where all participants gathered to laugh together. Laughter is at the level of heart; it’s very commonly said, “Dil khol ke haanso.” About 20 minutes of laughter is equivalent to 7 hours of deep sleep.
A special science show was held in the evening “Science behind Miracles”. The objective of this program is to remove superstitions prevalent in the society. People should realize their potential and try to understand how things that we see as miracles are done. Every activity has some science behind it. Remember, yesterday’s miracles are today’s science and today’s miracles are tomorrow’s science.
A survey on Happiness Index is being conducted over the three days of the event in addition to the regular competitions. The Mela timings are 8 am to 10 pm. Entry to the Mela is free for all. Come, be a part of the Mela……….
