Mrs Funnybones

Mrs. Funnybones by Twinkle Khanna is author's debut book. She was a Bollywood actor, married to Akshay Kumar, a famous personality in Indian cinema. The author is an Interior designer, blogger, and a mother of two kids.This is not an autobiography. It's about the daily life incidents which are presented in a very humorous way. She refers to her husband as a man of the house, her elder kid as a prodigal son, and then there's a baby girl. She also talks about her dog and mother, Dimple Kapadia. She includes her mother-in-law and her neighbors incident as well.Twinkle Khanna is a blogger, and people convinced her to write a book. So this book gives a feeling to readers that they read a blog. But the content is fascinating. It questions the old age Indian tradition, the festivals we celebrate, the neighbor's everyone has to deal with, the political approach, and most important what the author feels about God, and what happened when you say in your mind without any filters.There is not a dull moment in this book. The story is fast-paced and finished in an hour or two. It is one of the best books I have ever read. I laugh out loud on a few episodes. Twinkle Khanna was fat as a child, and her mother buys clothes for a fourteen-year-old when she was just seven. She used to eat mangoes sitting on the potty. This book makes anyone laugh.She talks about how her mother embarrasses her in front of everyone. The way her prodigal son fell in love, and it gives the author an ultimate shock. The kids got martial-art skills in their genes from the man of the house, Akshay Kumar, and how they use it on the poor author especially the baby.The only problem I have with this book is that it is short, and the readers don't know about the year of all the mentioned incidents. If you hope to find about Bollywood gossips, then you are wrong. The author strictly sticks to her life as a mother, wife, and an entrepreneur. The events have single POV, and sometimes I felt that the author must include the man of the house POV as well to get a better understanding. I really like the title, and cover page of the book. Overall, I love this book. It's highly recommendable.From the book - "Why do women have longer lifespans?Is it because we express ourselves all the time, thus reducing stress?Or are the men just trying to die earlier to escape the incessant chatter?""Mom says she hates festivals, wants to drink beer, ride her yellow scooter, and run over random people who burst crackers."

I finished this book in four hours. No water break, no loo break, just four hours of reading and I was done. That could be because the Mrs Funnybones is a quick read and also because I had read most of the columns in a newspaper before. I used to love Twinkle Khanna’s column in DNA. She is witty, amusing and unabashed. She does not mince her words for anybody and her brutal honesty can prick a little. However, her sense of humour is unmatched and I read the book only to jostle my funny bone on a rather dull day.Mrs Funnybones by Twinkle KhannaSynopsis: Mrs Funnybones is a compilation of satirical stories written by Twinkle Khanna for various newspapers. The book captures some hilarious incidences in her daily life and her amusing take on each of them.Points I Liked About Mrs Funny BonesHumour: The author has an opinion about everything and she presents most of her thoughts in a humorous way. Some of her words did seem a little offensive but then I accepted it as her opinion and not as the ultimate truth so I enjoyed the book even more. The author belongs to a wealthy family which is why her problems and solutions may not appeal to the common folk reading the book. In fact, most of the content might not even be relatable but it is a glimpse into her real (privileged) life and for me it was just a different angle to look at life. My favourite chapter is Hurricanes hit my household in which she talks about her staff member who is an oblivious menace to her. I had read this column in DNA and was happy to read it again in the book. This chapter is a MUST read.Here are some funny excerpts from Mrs Funnybones“Don't look down on people because they can see the crap stuck up your nostril.”“Naming me Twinkle was a foolproof way of making sure that I would get teased throughout my life, have immigration officers at various airports stare at my passport and shake with hysterical laughter and strangers stalk me with WhatsApp messages like, ‘Twinkle, Twinkle, little star, I hope you get hit by a car!’”“The man of the house has very politely informed guests who have come to see the baby that I am unavailable, as I am ‘milking’, and thereby sealed my status from cool chick to mooing cow.”“Our little satellite reached Mars because it was called MOM. If it was called DAD, it would still be circling the Earth, lost, but not willing to ask for directions.”“We may have potholed roads but at least we have many people willing to travel with us on them.”“After fourteen years of matrimony, I have discovered that hoping your other half telepathically reads your mind only leads to someone wanting to punch the other one in the face.”Points I Did Not Like About Mrs Funny BonesThis one is a very short read and the author has made a jibe at herself, her husband and even her mother. So, basically, no one is spared of witty remarks. I may not agree with all her opinions but I enjoyed every single page of this book. No complaints here.Final View: Four hours is the fastest I have ever finished a book. Mrs Funnybones is really ‘funny’ and entertaining. I would recommend this book to everyone who respects others opinions and is looking for a light read.Originally posted on AlphaGirlReviews.com

Mrs FunnybonesPerfect diary of a modern Indian married woman.Recently being a mom, it was so relatable. It is all the things I want to say but couldn't say out loud. It reached out to me.So many things about Indian families, the same niche we all share.The members of the family are referred as third person Man of the house, prodigal son, which were quite funny and apt to the situation. Mummy ji herself was another take.Though it took a few chapters to get into the book.It is sarcasm with optimism.The writing is trifle but has a unique blend.The book has 26 chapters. A to Z all depicting differ incidents of Twinkle's life.All in the format of a diary log with time.I was a little cautious at first about picking this book. Being written by a celebrity, it was already highlighted. It was definitely worth the time.A quick read, I finished it in one day only.One thing I haven't said about a book. The font size and a lot spacings, irated me a little. It was a surprise book for me which connected with me at so many levels. But I would have rated it a star up if not because of the layout.My Rating :🌟🌟🌟Follow on instagram: @anjlyay

i love this book. i usually just read self help, diet, clearing the clutter books but i discovered the author is the wife of my favorite bollywood actor and found her to be amazing as well. watched her on an interview and she was so funny and devours books. i googled authors she mentions, recommendations for books and watched an excellent film i had never heard about while waiting for Mrs. Funnybones to arrive.it is such a delight to read. i was laughing all by myself! i ordered her other books and can’t wait for them to arrive!

Loved the book. If you like Bollywood celebrities and are interested in their lives then this is something you would like to read. And it’s a bonus that she is funny too!

Absolutely worth it...
