Laughter therapy fails to tickle
DR Kantilal Sancheti, director, Sancheti Hospital, who is a close associate of Anna Hazare, tried to use laughter therapy to cheer up the 74-year-old, but to no avail. Sancheti said, "For the first time, I cracked a joke and he did not even smile. He only grimaced in pain. Apparently, the laughter therapy is also not working on him. Anna seems to be extremely upset over the fact that the Lokpal Bill has not been passed in Parliament."
