“You can see many smiles every day,
but you can never know
whose world is actually upside down”.
“Keep Smiling!”
When we go out first thing in the morning
to work or college or even shopping,
everyone of us smiles and says:
“Hello”,
when we meet other people,
whether we know them or
whether they are total strangers.
The truth is,
none of us know
what the other is ‘going through’.
The lady at the bus stop
may have just lost her mother to cancer
but she smiles
on her way to the funeral parlour.
The gentleman on the train
may have just been made redundant from his place of work,
and is so worried about how he will support his family, but
his “smile still stays on” (as the song goes).
What about you and I?
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.
