I think every country must reserve a day for laughter. A day may not be sufficient for India, but we could make a beginning.

Laughter is provoked by a number of things. There are truly funny events and matters. There are inadvertent mistakes that cause mirth. I enjoy the cartoons and jokes that appear in print, some make me roar with laughter. Dennis the Menace is a particular favourite of mine. The social media is replete with comments and observations that make one admire the wit of the author. Memes are especially funny.
