Pranam My dear Gopalakrishnan That stinkingwormsamy ,Singaporeans may laugh and write me as cockroach moorthy etc. You will be elated. But humor is something else. Body shaming, igniting a joke on shortfall and heights etc are not jokes to laugh at as far as me is concerned. Goundamani and senthil, malayala TV jokes, Malayala films jokes laughing by themselves etc jokes depending on each taste. And your Q and A are unrelated as a marketable advertisement on TV shows. It's OK if you laugh. Some may not understand false friend vulture fox tales because --will villains can know dharma?. Forget it. You 'Q ed" that "what doctors do not say"-which is a real title which you have used wrongly; you might have used "Laughter the best medicine"; OJK have fun with that blog singapore cockroach KR IRS 5822
