Mrs Funnybones: She's just like You and a lot like Me

Product Information

Ofcourse, there was the surmounting curiosity about not only getting a peek into a star wife’s life but also about how she puts it across in the witty n funny ways that I was reading about everywhere. Some of the jokes were not so original, you can predict ends of sentences; and the repeated use of the word 'blimey' didn't lend to the funniness either, though I do understand how she meant to use it at the end of every little mishap that happened on her day. On a quiet December evening in 1989, a bored scanner chanced upon a report of a curious bedtime conversation between Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles in which the current king made an important confession. every night i would take this book with me on bed and read till i fall asleep with happy thoughts in mind. It is not your heart beating fast when you look at him or constantly wanting to be with the other person.

Twinkle Khanna Spills Akshay Kumar, Aamir Khan's Secrets; KJo Hosts a 'Roast' at 'Mrs FunnyBones' Book Launch". Mom says she hates festivals, wants to drink beer, ride her yellow scooter, and run over random people who burst crackers. The book is not at all like the ones that I usually read, it's more like an extended compilations of her columns.Each day that you persist in a situation where you are miserable is a day wasted on the path that would lead you to happiness. I find it heartwarming to know that even though she is from and has a wealthy background, she still has to run around her family, tiptoe around her mother in law and yelp at her mother's bidding.

While her writing quality isn't out of the ordinary, the messages she conveys are totally identifiable, if you're a married Indian woman with/without kids today.

I was currently reading another serious book 'The Autobiography of a Yogi' when Mrs Funnybones came in.

Thanks to liberty Books in Pakistan, otherwise I wouldn't get my hands on this one quite soon and I don't know for how long I had to wait. Be cautious if u read while travelling like me, your co passengers may get amused seeing you laughing your hearts out to a book :-). To sum up in short, this book is not a story but a sort of daily diary of a woman, wife and a mother.Twinkle Khanna, born to famous film stars and married to one, is not someone you would empathise or identify with and yet her skill in her narrative lies in the fact that when you turn to the last page, that is exactly how you feel. Full of wit and delicious observations, Mrs Funnybones captures the life of the modern Indian woman a woman who organizes dinner each evening, even as she goes to work all day, who runs her own life but has to listen to her Mummyji, who worries about her weight and the state of the country. Ofcourse she is a celebrity and it shows up in her writing but I must say, she is an expert when it comes to hunting humor in every situation. She shares her observations and her own experiences that I found funny may be for the first two pages but then everything fell flat. She's only occasionally funny, but like that guy in school who's earnestly trying so hard to get noticed that you don't mind.
