KNOW HEALTH BENEFITS OF SMILE ON YOUR HEALTH?

A child is born and he knows how to smile! Was he taught to do so? No! A smile is thus one of our most basic instinct as humans.

A smile has a language that is universal. People across the globe, no matter how different they may be, can always understand another person if they smile. No matter what section of society or culture a person may belong to; a smile is the most enticing gesture that a person can exchange with another person. From the adorable smile of a child to the shy smile of first love, it is the most blissful gift that all humans are blessed with.

But in our fast-paced lives, we have forgotten how to do this one thing that binds us all as human beings! The most basic form of human expression, the smile is sometimes lost in the hassle of our busy routines. Seriously, when was the last time you really smiled? Not that mechanical smile that you need to give to everyone to fit in your social circle. What we are talking about is that genuine heartwarming smile that comes on your face straight from your heart! 

And we are here to remind you of why you should smile. There are moments when a relaxing chat with a friend can take away the stress of a bad day or a smile by one of your family members remind you of why life is worth living. That smile while having a samosa from your favorite mithai shop; that smile when you cook something for your friends/family; that smile when you asked someone out and they finally said yes. Yes, life gives a hundred reasons not to smile but it also gives a thousand reasons to smile as well!
