A stock of laughter

“You are getting hooked finally,” I keep on telling him. Ankur Das, my school friend for long, is finally going to be tested to the ultimate. His characteristic uncontrollable & needless laughter is expected to be controlled by sudden change in his marital status. I and some of our common friends are going to pray for him…. do you know why, read on…

Throughout his life journey, since childhood as I have followed, Ankur would be carefree and love to spread happiness all around, inadvertently. Even now, he is always a reason to see life in a different way altogether. Different from the way we commonly see. He just gives me enough reasons to know that laugh can bring around thousand smiles, which need not be intentional at all… just like that. Critically examining me, I find that I succumb to various pressures of life that snatch away my smiles, leave alone laughters. But he talks useless to me many times, which is thoroughly enjoyable. At times, I take a long pause to allow him laugh through and then, we continue again from where we had left our talk earlier. He is always at ease and comfortable with his persona and keeps on with his laughters. He makes perfect sense why one should laugh all the time (needless to say, he in no way takes his priorities for granted) and assure others that life is fine at the end of anything and everything.

I, for sure, think that his soon-to-be soul mate cannot be like him in nature. I just pray to God to have some mercy on her to take all the laughter in good spirit that she is going to experience from hereon soon. And let Him also have mercy on my dear friend Ankur so that he continues to be what has remained till now --- a stock of endless laughter.

Wish you the best buddy for a very happy and cheerful marital journey with incessant shots of laughter therein. You are just a phone call away when my stock of laughter ceases to exist and demands a recharge. On that note, I just raise a toast to my noble thought. Cheers!
