‘Laughing yoga’ video clipHealth and Medicine

Is Yogi Ramesh laughing at you, or laughing with you? Is he mildly demented, or completely insane? Does he actually just end up crying when no one’s looking? Check out the video, and judge for yourself (via Eytomic):

He's like a cross between Daler Mehndi, Richard Simmons and the Foley artist for Bela Lugosi.

Well, that certainly made me laugh. Silently, with my colon.

I'm not sure who has the more hysterical laugh (and I mean hysterical in both senses), Yogi Ramesh or Gabbar Singh.

I am really happy that there are lunatics like this in the world. I like ding bats and fruit cakes like this Uncleji, they are very helpful to society. I hope that when I grow old, I too can be a lunatic like this. Because you cant deny it, when you were a kid, dont you wish you had an Uncle like him? Like a Looney Tune Uncle who would come round and do this routine when you were like, five or six years old? It would have been brilliant.

Something tells me you are laughing at him and not with him...?

Anyway these laughing exercises are a legitimate part of yoga (remember the headmaster from "Munnabhai MBBS"), its not just him being a fringe lunatic. In the last couple days I've seen this clip on nondesi sites, and I can't help but think that non-desis that don't know about laughing yoga will take this clip out of context and further think of desi culture as weird, exotic, and lunatic.

*sigh* I should probably look at the clip again to cheer up.

Laughing yoga is great, but this yogi huffs like a high-pitched daemon.

He sounds like the filler music in the Daily Show's This Week in God.
