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

Product Information

The book is not at all like the ones that I usually read, it's more like an extended compilations of her columns. Currently, she is in the process of creating lame jokes like, Why do all Hindu boys worship their mother?

She narrowly escaped a gruesome tragedy when Bollywood tried to bludgeon her brain to the size of a pea, but she ducked at the right moment and escaped miraculously unharmed.I was currently reading another serious book 'The Autobiography of a Yogi' when Mrs Funnybones came in. Funnybones’, who takes her life one day and one incident at a time, and whose goal of amusing herself often even ends up amusing others.

As I read this book, which is really a blip of an insight into Twinkle Khanna’s charmed life, I can’t help but have a few contradictory thoughts on how I feel about her writing. She has arranged the chapters according to the 26 letters of the Alphabet, each one giving a glimpse into her thoughts, her insecurities, and some not-so-funny moments. All and all if you're looking for a book with good humor and can make you laugh till you cry then I recommend Mrs. Although I'd got a copy in a steal deal a while ago, I only picked it up now, when I realized I was yet to embark on my India Challenge for this year.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. Although] this book is delight to read, it at times gets a little repetitive with the inclusion of some of her columns that have appeared in newspapers.

Everything has a funny part: how her name makes her feel, how her name came to be; family trips/vacations, the plane scene was too funny! For the record, Twinkle had fractured her foot last year and was driven to the hospital by husband Akshay Kumar during lockdown. The book received good reviews with The Times of India stating "The funny bone definitely tickles but at the same time also jabs you hard. But that is what makes this book a conversation and not yet another insider account of a glamorous life, a tell-all about how showbiz people are the worst, or, worst of all, a sanctimonious “how-to-have-it-all” guide.Funnybones is the raw 7am woman of the house who is all efficiency and not necessarily camera ready.
