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

Product Information

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.

The book is not very long, does not require the reader to do any thinking, since it’s so light and refreshing. So how does the former “fat girl” that she admits still lives in her head, get so comfortable in her skin, especially in our self-conscious and judgmental Bollywood? She very casually mentions her IQ being 145, reads sci-fi, mostly Asimov, and references Nolan’s Interstellar when talking about her time “wasted” on Twitter.I don't think my opinion would have differed at all if I had dived into the book before reading the oh-so-good and oh-so-funny reviews about it. Twinkle hasn't been new to the writing world; she has been writing columns for quite a time which now has compiled in a form of a book. Or maybe it just seemed like it because it didn’t require me to do a lot of thinking or understanding. However, there is such a thing as too much self-degrading humour and after a point the words become repetitive and predictive. Based on Twinkle Khanna s super-hit column, Mrs Funnybones marks the debut of one of our funniest, most original voices.

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.

The book was launched in Mumbai on 18 August 2015 before Dimple Kapadia, Akshay Kumar, Aamir Khan, Karan Johar, Jaya Bachchan and Sonali Bendre. 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. This book also has her opinion about feminism, patriarchy, our culture and many other things with a great humor.

When the picture surfaced on the web three years ago, Twinkle not just took notice of it but also revealed the fun fact about herself. Twinkle Khanna Spills Akshay Kumar, Aamir Khan's Secrets; KJo Hosts a 'Roast' at 'Mrs FunnyBones' Book Launch".

Twinkle is in a multi-colour frock and her sister Rinke can be seen sitting besides Sunaina in a similar frock. To check if I can find some tips on the writing style and I found that the book is fit for blogging scenario rather than a book. I admit, I hadn’t expected it to be this good, thinking all the hype about this book was all because of the author’s husband, who is a famous actor in India. From parenting to feminism, from handling papparazzi's to Mom-in-Law, from tackling Man in the house to Karva Chauth, Twinkle treads on various topics quite gracefully!
