Shahziaji, Still I feel the title Laughing Lady does not suit it well. Your reading into the poem is quite deep and your explanation is satisfactory. But, I believe the poet has to explain the thing even though ha too can interpret on your track.

despite of her life full of sorrows she is always laughing (as i painted in one of my poem I ALWAYS LAUGH) because she has nothing to think for herself. a beautiful sketch.

The question asked by Dinesh Nair forced me to find out the answer, and i saw she is a laughing lady because she is fighting for life, so despite staying on a wheel-chair, she continues to emit the rays and signs of life by painting and recreating life on her canvas by putting a laughing face, (perhaps, that could be a smiling face too...but to be back to the poet's imagination/observation) , so like everyman, every strong man she is a fighter lady and she knows being an invalid does not mean to stay in bed and lead a patient's dependent life, thus the laughing face is an extra weapon at her disposal in her fight with life, so she is a laughing lady...yet, one thing is intriguing to me too, that in his merely a passers by acquaintance, the pace is quite rapid that he does not know her name but wants his portrait painted by her on her canvas/heart! ! ! as a poem, it's pleasing to read! ! !

You have accomplished your task of finding her out and you are indeed obsessed with her. Now you may go ahead with your optimism that she too loves/will love you and it is now up to her to decide whether she deserves you or will begin to paint your face on her canvas.. Why she is a 'laughing lady' is intriguing to me yet
