Start your week with pure joy! Join host Ranjodh Singh on Radio Haanji 1674 AM's Laughter Therapy as our brightest young stars share Punjabi riddles, funny stories, and heart-melting boliyan. Listen to the best Punjabi podcast of 2026.
There is nothing quite as healing as the unfiltered, innocent laughter of children. When the weekend comes to a close and Monday morning approaches, bringing with it the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we all need a moment to pause, breathe, and simply smile. That is exactly the emotional anchor we provide on Radio Haanji 1674 AM with our beloved show, Laughter Therapy, hosted by the ever-engaging Ranjodh Singh.
In this special episode, our studio (and our hearts) were filled with the brightest little stars of the Punjabi community in Australia. From sharing weekend family stories to testing Ranjodh’s wits with clever Punjabi Bujhartan (riddles), these kids remind us of the beauty of preserving our heritage and sharing a good laugh.
The Joy of Sharing: Weekend Tales and Sweet Memories
The show kicked off with a heartwarming promise from Ranjodh Singh: leave the stress behind and dedicate the next half hour entirely to joy. And who better to bring that joy than our youngest listeners?
Tegh’s Sweet Pinniyan and Swimming Triumphs
Little Tegh brought the sweetness of home right to the airwaves, sharing stories of her weekend making Besan diyan Pinniyan (yellow pinnis) and Mathian with her cousins. Between helping with her little sibling Amber and securing her "Dolphin level" swimming certificate, Tegh still found time to stump Ranjodh with a classic village riddle taught by her mother:
ਤੇਗ ਦੀ ਬੁਝਾਰਤ: ਹਰੇ ਮੈਦਾਨ ਦੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਛੋਟਾ ਨੂੜਿਆ ਖੜ੍ਹਾ (ਰੜੇ ਮੈਦਾਨ 'ਚ ਝੋਟਾ ਨੂੜਿਆ ਖੜ੍ਹਾ/ਬੰਨ੍ਹਿਆ ਖੜ੍ਹਾ) ਜਵਾਬ: ਤੂੜੀ ਵਾਲਾ ਕੁੱਪ
Tavneet’s Gold Rush and Travel Plans
Tavneet checked in with hilarious complaints about her dad traveling to Canada alone while the rest of the family stays behind. She even joked about canceling his tickets! After reminiscing about her school excursion to Ballarat looking for gold, she challenged the host with a brilliant kitchen riddle:
ਤਵਨੀਤ ਦੀ ਬੁਝਾਰਤ: ਉਹ ਕਿਹੜੀ ਚੀਜ਼ ਆ ਜਿਹਦੇ ਕੋਲ ਮੋਰੀਆਂ ਹੁੰਦੀਆਂ ਬਟ ਸਟਿੱਲ ਉਹਦੇ ਕੋਲ ਪਾਣੀ ਹੋਲਡ (Hold) ਹੁੰਦਾ? ਜਵਾਬ: ਸਪੰਜ (Sponge)
More Riddles, Jokes, and Birthday Wishes
The connection between the host and the kids is a beautiful reflection of our vibrant Indian community in Melbourne. It bridges generations, passing down the cultural torch through the simple act of storytelling.
Anahat's 8th Birthday Celebration
Our sweet Anahat celebrated her 8th birthday on the air! Before advising Ranjodh to become a pilot so he can fly to India, she shared a poetic riddle that took everyone back to traditional Punjabi kitchens:
ਅਨਾਹਤ ਦੀ ਬੁਝਾਰਤ: ਕਾਲੇ ਘੋੜੇ ਦੀ ਚਿੱਟੀ ਸਵਾਰੀ, ਇੱਕ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਅਦ ਦੂਜੇ ਦੀ ਵਾਰੀ। ਜਵਾਬ: ਤਵਾ ਤੇ ਰੋਟੀ
Japman and Fateh’s Tricky Questions
Japman and Fateh both brought their A-game to the studio, proving that you are never too young to be clever.
ਜਪਮਨ ਦੀ ਬੁਝਾਰਤ: ਉਹ ਕਿਹੜਾ ਕਮਰਾ ਏ ਜਿਹਦੇ ਕੋਈ ਅੰਦਰ ਵੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਤੇ ਕੋਈ ਬਾਹਰ ਵੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਆਉਂਦਾ? ਜਵਾਬ: ਮਸ਼ਰੂਮ (Mushroom)
ਫਤਿਹ ਦੀ ਬੁਝਾਰਤ: ਮੈਂ ਚੱਲਦਾ ਰਹਿੰਨਾ, ਪਰ ਕਦੇ ਥੱਕਦਾ ਨਹੀਂ। ਮੈਂ ਨਹਾਉਂਦਾ ਰਹਿੰਨਾ ਪਰ ਕਦੇ ਸੁੱਕਦਾ ਨਹੀਂ। ਜਵਾਬ: ਨਦੀ (River)
Mannat’s Classic Joke
Mannat kept the traditional comedy alive with a timeless "Pappu" joke that had everyone in stitches: ਮੰਨਤ ਦਾ ਚੁਟਕਲਾ:ਪੱਪੂ, ਪੁੱਤ ਤੂੰ ਮੇਰਾ ਸਿਰ ਉੱਚਾ ਕਿਉਂ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰਵਾਉਂਦਾ? ਪੱਪੂ ਕਹਿੰਦਾ: ਤੂੰ ਮੇਰਾ ਕਦੇ ਇੰਨਾ ਸਿਰ ਉੱਚਾ ਕੀਤਾ? ਪਾਪਾ ਜੀ ਇੱਕ ਵਾਰ ਕੀਤਾ ਤਾਂ ਸੀ ਮੈਂ, ਜਦੋਂ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਸੁੱਤੇ ਪਏ ਸੀਗੇ ਸਰਾਹਣਾ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਸਿਰ ਉੱਚਾ ਸੀ!
Asees Kaur: Health Advice and a Beautiful Boli
Rounding out the emotional journey of the episode was Asees Kaur. Having just recovered from a sore throat, she adorably advised Ranjodh on the strict three-times-a-day gargling routine required to stay healthy. But the absolute highlight was her energetic Punjabi Boli, capturing the true essence of our vibrant culture:
ਅਸੀਸ ਦਾ ਗੀਤ:
ਵਾਰੀ ਵਰਸੀ ਖੱਟਣ ਗਿਆ ਸੀ, ਖੱਟ ਕੇ ਲਿਆਂਦੀ ਕੋਟੀ, ਨੀ ਬਹਿ ਚੱਲੀ ਆਂ ਜਪਮਨ ਮਾਈਆ ਬੱਲੇ ਬੱਲੇ ਬੱਲੇ! ਮੈਂ ਚੱਲੀ ਆਂ ਜਪਮਨ ਮਾਈਆ, ਧੁੱਪ ਖਾ ਰੋਟੀ, ਖਬਰਦਾਰ ਜੇ ਸਨੈਪਚੈਟ (Snapchat) 'ਤੇ ਪਾਈ ਸਟੋਰੀ, ਕੋਈ ਮੇਰੇ ਆਉਂਦੀ ਨੂੰ... ਰਸੋਈ ਮੇਰੇ ਆਉਂਦੀ ਨੂੰ ਕਰ ਲਈਂ ਸਾਫ਼ ਰਸੋਈ... ਬੱਲੇ ਬੱਲੇ ਬੱਲੇ!
