Laughter Therapy - Punjabi Chutkule, Bolian, Bujartan and Laughs

Tuesday Morning Sorted — Community Laughs with Balkirat Singh and Ranjodh Singh

Tuesday mornings have a reputation for being the most forgettable day of the week — not quite the dread of Monday, not yet the hope of Wednesday. But on Radio Haanji 1674 AM, Tuesday mornings are anything but ordinary. Today, Balkirat Singh and Ranjodh Singh took the Laughter Therapy stage together, and the Punjabi community across Melbourne, Singapore and beyond started their day exactly the way it should be started — with genuine, community laughter that needed no script, no rehearsal, and no filter.

What is Laughter Therapy?

Laughter Therapy is Radio Haanji 1674 AM's daily Monday to Friday morning show built entirely around the Punjabi community's love of laughter. Listeners call in live to share chutkule (jokes), bolian (Punjabi folk couplets) and bujaratan (riddles) — and the hosts keep the energy high from start to finish.

The show runs in two parts. First, the kids take over — children as young as four call in with chutkule that leave the hosts speechless, bujaratan that stump everyone in the room, and bolian delivered with a confidence that most adults can only dream of. Then the adults join in, bringing their own brand of warmth, wit and community spirit that makes Laughter Therapy feel less like a radio show and more like a morning gathering of old friends.

There is no script. Every laugh is real. Every caller is a real member of the Punjabi community sharing something that has been part of their culture — and their family's culture — for generations.

Balkirat Singh and Ranjodh Singh — Today's Hosts

Today's episode brought together two of Radio Haanji's most trusted voices — Balkirat Singh and Ranjodh Singh. Balkirat Singh is known for his calm, measured warmth on air — the kind of host who makes every caller feel completely at ease from the first word. Ranjodh Singh brings the energy and quick wit that Laughter Therapy regulars know well. Together, the two created a Tuesday morning atmosphere that felt like exactly what Laughter Therapy is designed to be — a place where the whole community belongs.

With two experienced hosts at the helm, today's show had a natural rhythm — one that let the callers shine while keeping the momentum going between every chutkula, every bujaratan, and every bolian that came through the line. That is the art of Laughter Therapy, and today it was on full display.

Why Laughter Therapy Matters to the Punjabi Community

For Punjabi families spread across Australia, Singapore, Canada and every corner of the world, Laughter Therapy is more than a morning show. It is a daily thread connecting them to a culture, a language, and a way of being together that geography tries — and fails — to take away. The chutkule, bolian and bujaratan shared on this show are the same ones that grandparents told in Punjab, that parents passed to their children, and that children are now keeping alive by calling into Radio Haanji every single morning.

Language survives through use. Culture survives through laughter. And community survives through the simple, powerful act of sharing a joke with a stranger who feels like family. Every morning that Laughter Therapy airs, Radio Haanji is doing all three at once.
