Mrs Funnybones

Posted on by

Good morning, it s 6 a.m and I am wide awake because the man of the house has decided that he needs to perform a series of complex manoeuvres that involve him balancing on his left elbow When I fell asleep last night, there was a baby lying next to me Her smelly diaper is still wedged on my head but aside from this rather damp clue, I can t seem to find her anywhere I could ask my mother in law if she has seen the baby, but she may just tell me that I need to fast on alternate Mondays, and God will deliver the baby back to me 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 Based on Twinkle Khanna s super hit column, Mrs Funnybones marks the debut of one of our funniest, most original voices.

put me off.She s just like you and a lot like me, says the tag line on the book cover of Mrs Funnybones There was no way for me to relate to the middle aged, mother of 2 kids with a celebrity husband protagonist of this book, but for Twinkle Khanna s crackling narration The book is full of interesting anecdotes and speckled with self deprecating humour and witty innuendos The weight jibes, confrontations with desi Jeeves , friends and their mothers in...I have read this book in one sitting and let me just tell you that I loved it beyond apprehension.Once, I randomly saw an episode of A Coffee with Karan where Akshay Kumar and the author of this book Twinkle Khanna were invited as guests I am not a Bollywood person so I didn t know her at that time But I loved her fierce and nonchalant humor At the end of that episode, she mentioned Mrs Funnybones and I wanted to read this book since then I have read this book finally and it has not disap I have read this book in one

reaching out to me at the perfect moment, when I was craving for a humorous, empathetic voice with which I could identify with to some extent.Am not a movie buff, but I do know about Twinkle Khanna as an actor, and was quite pleasantly surprised to see her in the avatar of an ordinary, astute working mother of two, who has a flair for milking out humor from the d Read it at a sitting a feat I haven

up now, when I realized I was yet to embark on my India Challenge for this year Anyway, it s funny in places, and made for an easy breezy read.Twinkle Khanna, a former actress turned interior decorator turned writer, lets you know early on in her book that she is done with showbiz, decisively so It doesn t creep into her reminiscences, it doesn t colour her present and it only ever sneaks into her future when she makes a wry assumption about the prodigal son in case he ever wants to join the family business This is a woman who has moved on, as much as she can being married to who she is And here s the other thing, she s just too m Twinkle Khanna, a former actress turned interior decorator turned writer, lets you know early on in her book that she is done with showbiz, decisively

the family business This is a woman who has moved on, as much as she can being married to who she is And here s the other thing, she s just too much fun, in a self deprecating, off the cuff way, that makes you feel like you ve known her for years, and not in the I ve seen all your very bad movies way.While she hasn t become a typical Bollywood homemaker, she isn t strutting around all over Page 3 in her Manolos either So how does the former fat girl that she admits still lives in her head, get so comfortable in her skin, especially in our sel...This review was first published in The Hans India.Had this book been written by a person not so famous it wouldn t have been well received It is also this very reason that the book garners interest Twinkle Khanna, former actress born into a

less than 24 hours too Which isn t as great as it may sound, even though I had a full n busy day at work and only allowed myself to read in the metro to work, at lunch, in the metro home and after a much despised 30 minutes of exercise That is because at 235 pages, size 12 font, 1.5 line spacing and very broad margins, it really wasn t something even the slowest reader would have So I just
