Some day, somebody should do a serious study on how we laugh at the Club. It would be quite an eye-opener. For each one of us has a distinctive style. We don’t laugh the same way. Shekhawat does a robust “Eeeeeeyah…haw-haw-haw haw” while Rane lets out a peculiar squeal, followed by whoops of joy. Arora simply says “Huh”. Bose laughs like a demented hyena in heat and Hari-bhai makes polite “Aah-Aah-Aah” sounds to himself.
Then there are those who are musically inclined. Nahi Khan’s laughter is in tune with the song playing in her ear plugs. Nafisa normally laughs off-key as she leisurely goes Ha-ha-(yawn)-ha-ha-ha (yawn)… at her own pace. Grover laughs at a nasal C-minor sharp. In contrast, Dilip’s laughter is at a bold A-major. And his brother, Kishor, who is as versatile as Kishore Kumar, can mimic anybody – even Shekhawat-ji.
With no offence meant to anybody, there are occasional growls and grunts to contend with also. Many of us have often stopped mid-way through a laugh, startled by noises from a friend blissfully chuckling away close by. Some could be doing this on purpose to irritate (or entertain). But it is in our unguarded moments that we tend to reveal our inner character from the way we laugh. So is it said. For instance, a cagey person can never let out a full-bellied laughter. Likewise, a boisterous, happy-go-lucky fellow would die a million deaths if asked to stop at a giggle.
But then, who cares!
