Many a times people have written off comedians as just that. But I find most comedians have more sensitivity, a better understanding and empathy factor than the so-called'intellectuals', the'literatti'. They have the ability to laugh at most situations, because they understand'what cannot be cured must be endured', and they do so with aplomb! They also possess the fantastic ability to laugh at themselves, just so long as it elicits laughter in their audience. Make light of a situation, sugar-coating a bitter pill with a dash of ascorbic - to help it go down easier. Salute!
