Mrs. Funnybones - Twinkle Khanna

 Had read this long back, and we have another book of her's as well now. With my cousin naming his daughter Nitara, was looking for her, and found for some reason I had not updated about this. At time when film industry is said to be filled with Nepotism, here is one lady, who is out to prove that at the end of the day, not everything is hereditary, 'talents differ all is well and wisely put'; there might be acquisitions of her having help to proof read and fine tune, nevertheless, there is some amount of talent undeniable. Based on Twinkle Khanna's superhit columns, the book is a consolidations of the articles in there, arranged chronologically from A to Z.  

Filled with with and delicious observations, the book captures, the life of modern Indian women - who organizes each meal for her family after having been at work all day, who runs her own life, but have to listen to others. Interesting the book was dedicated to her dad. Being brought up not in a conventional family, she has been able to hold her family together. In the Foreword she  clearly states that she is not exactly like the woman in the book, she is not lazy, a bit more high-strung and her jokes are not as funnier. In  wiring her, there are facts, fiction and few other things....like decaying brain cells and old bones ....which I kept wondering what it meant. When Sarita Tanwar asked her to write, it was to her like asking millions of people who watch cricket, why do they not play. But once on she has not spared anyone, starring someone similar to her like the main lead, the man of the house, the eccentric mother, two fairly strange children, and cameos by stubborn canines, weird neighbours, few film starts, and the daily support staff, she welcomes us into her world.

It has interesting chapters like Can Indian men control anything besides their wives? ; fitness mania, hurricane hitting the household, when Karan Johar celebrates Karva Chauth, Love is imperfectly perfect, Not quite a feminist, so how did I reach mars? Oh no! I am under arrest! to Zip your mouth for God's sake. Curious. Indeed. Get going.
