Laughter Therapy - 10 March 2026 - How a Tuesday Morning in Melbourne Becomes the Best Part of the Day

Tuesday mornings have a quiet determination about them — the week has found its feet and there is still so much of it ahead. On Radio Haanji 1674 AM, that Tuesday energy is met with something warm and entirely welcome: a fresh episode of Laughter Therapy, where chutkule, bolian and bujaratan arrive before the day has had a chance to get serious. Today, hosts Sukh Parmar and Ranjodh Singh take the mic together, bringing a combination of energy and warmth that Melbourne's Punjabi community has come to genuinely love.

A Tuesday That Belongs to the Whole Community

There is something distinctive about the way Laughter Therapy approaches each new episode. The show does not arrive with a fixed script or a rehearsed routine — it arrives with an open phone line and a community that is ready to fill it with laughter. Sukh Parmar and Ranjodh Singh create the kind of hosting environment where every caller feels welcome, every joke lands with warmth and every moment of shared laughter feels like it belongs to everyone listening, not just the person who called in.

Tuesday on Radio Haanji 1674 AM with these two hosts carries its own personality. Their on-air chemistry is easy and natural, the kind that develops when two people genuinely enjoy what they are doing and genuinely care about the community they are doing it for. For Punjabi families across Melbourne tuning in during the school run, the morning commute or the first cup of chai at home, this combination of voices is familiar, trusted and reliably joyful.

Radio Haanji's podcast library has something for every member of the community — whether you want sharp current affairs analysis from Today Updates or thought-provoking global commentary from The Insight Report, the station serves the community across every mood and every moment. But Laughter Therapy remains the show that starts the day right, and today is no exception.

Young Callers, Big Hearts — The Children Who Make Every Episode Shine

The first half of every Laughter Therapy episode is dedicated to the youngest members of the Punjabi community, and Tuesday is where you are reminded just how extraordinary those young voices are. Children from across Melbourne call in live to share their chutkule, test the studio with bujaratan and fill the airwaves with the kind of spontaneous, unfiltered joy that no amount of production polish could ever replicate.

The chutkule that children bring to this show carry a very particular magic. They are often simple, occasionally surprising and always delivered with total conviction. Whether a young caller is sharing a riddle that stumps everyone in the room or reciting a bolian they have heard at home and made entirely their own, the effect on the listener is immediate — a smile, a laugh and a feeling of warmth that carries well into the rest of the morning.

What makes this segment so meaningful for the Punjabi community in Australia is the cultural thread running through every moment of it. These children are growing up between two worlds — the Australia they are building their futures in and the Punjab their families carry in their hearts. When they call in to share chutkule and bujaratan on Laughter Therapy, they are doing somet
