This day is celebrated to emphasis and spread the awareness of laughter and its healing benefits.<\/p>\n<p>It gives me pleasure to announce that the first \u201cWorld Laughter Day\u201d took place in Mumbai, India, on 11th of January 1998 by Dr Madan Kataria who was the founder of the worldwide Laughter Yoga movement. 12,000 members from local and international Laughter Clubs joined together in a mega laughter session. He was inspired to start this movement due to the facial feedback hypothesis which states that the facial muscles movements have a positive impact on the emotions.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cWhen you laugh, you change and when you change the whole world changes around you.\u201d &#8211;\u00a0 Dr. Madan Kataria<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cHAPPY-DEMIC\u201d was the first World Laughter Day gathering outside India.
