About this title

Review:

I received the book at 11.30 am and finished it by 6 pm the same day. I am a serious reader as fiction is well past myglory days. At 44 and essentially a 'serious' reader I stick mostly to Autobiographies and likes of India after Gandhi and many such. I was currently reading another serious book 'The Autobiography of a Yogi' when Mrs Funnybones came in. Its a masterpiece! It gave me some respite from serious stuff yet helped me to ponder more seriously on some matters. I also occasionally follow the same in the TOI but getting it all consolidated was a superb experience! Mrs Twinkle I wish you had spent more time here than in Bollywood! But past is past and we see now an awesome evolution! btw, don't blame your mother for your name. The book may had been quite different otherwise! --Suman Mukherjee on Aug 22, 2015

if u want to laugh and gain fun while reading, then this book is a stop. this is the only book i have completed within a week of buying. thanks to flipkart for delivering at the earliest. every night i would take this book with me on bed and read till i fall asleep with happy thoughts in mind. Twinkle Khanna ma'am has beautifully portrayed the facts of life by comparing to her own in an amazingly funny way...i simple loved the book. the best part of the book was when the author compares life with the kite her son was playing with. totally worth your money and time --Sakshi Srivastava on Aug 31, 2015

Had huge expectations,had heard a lot about the book & which is why I feel that the book is a little overhyped.Some parts were funny,some were not so & some of the philosophies that came out was absolutely wonderful.As a reader,I would say "Twinkle Khanna,you should write more often than not" --By Amazon Customer on 27 April 2017

About the Author:

Twinkle Khanna, aka Mrs Funnybones, crafts satirical stories and funny fables when she is not running a design business, selling candles or running in circles around her small but rather odd family. 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. She is a popular columnist and is a regular contributor to The Times of India and DNA After Hrs. Currently, she is in the process of creating lame jokes like, Why do all Hindu boys worship their mother? Because their religion tells them to worship the cow. She firmly believes that nothing in life is sacred except laughter.
