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

Product Information

Based on Twinkle Khanna s super-hit column, Mrs Funnybones marks the debut of one of our funniest, most original voices.

Mom says she hates festivals, wants to drink beer, ride her yellow scooter, and run over random people who burst crackers. Thanks to liberty Books in Pakistan, otherwise I wouldn't get my hands on this one quite soon and I don't know for how long I had to wait. So I have seen Twinkle Khanna on certain talk shows and at times it felt like she had no filter and I found her pretty funny. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. she is middle-aged, celebrity, married and mother of two, but after reading this book I really can relate to her.We have some sort of vanity as well and allowing yourself to be photographed in a state that you would not want to put up on FB, let alone be published in national newspapers, would be rather demented. But what makes it special is the casual way in which it addresses the human preoccupation with belonging–one that we all experience–be it to our parents, our careers, our bodies, our partners or their families.

One extra star for appreciating this as her debut novel, which is much better than her films/acting. Or maybe it just seemed like it because it didn’t require me to do a lot of thinking or understanding.It is a telling incident in the book, reflecting the “otherness” the young girl anointed with the comical name and born to famous parents must have felt and still does.
