Feb 19, 2026 | Morning Smiles: Laughter Therapy with Gautam Kapil & Mantej Gill | Punjabi Podcast | Radio Haanji

There is something deeply grounding about hearing our "Maa Boli" (mother tongue) filled with the sound of laughter. Today on Radio Haanji 1674 AM, hosts Gautam Kapil and Mantej Gill took over the studio for an episode of Laughter Therapy that felt like a warm hug for the soul. For our listeners from Melbourne to Brisbane, today was about letting go of the "fikkars" (worries) and embracing the "haase" (laughs). Why Laughter is Our Superpower Gautam and Mantej opened the show by discussing how easily we let the stresses of work and life settle on our faces as frowns. The Connection: Laughter isn't just about the jokes; it’s about emotional bonding. When we share a laugh over the airwaves, we are building a bridge of positivity that connects the entire Punjabi diaspora in Australia. Health First: The hosts reminded us that a good laugh lowers stress and recharges our mental batteries, helping us face the day with a "Chardi Kala" (ever-rising) spirit. Kids, Riddles, and Pure Joy A highlight of the show was the involvement of the little ones. The segment featured: Innocent Humour: Hilarious jokes and "bujhartaan" (riddles) shared by children that reminded us all to look at the world with wonder and simplicity. Family Bonding: This show is designed for the whole family to listen together—whether you're in the car on the school run or enjoying a morning tea at home.
