The Story in Brief
Khyrunnisa A, beloved children's author, has released 'Happy Go Funny – The Lighter Moments of Life', her third book for adults. The collection of essays finds humour in ordinary situations, from auto-rickshaw traffic to wedding albums stored in suitcases. She often features her husband, referred to as 'Husband', and slips in contemporary references like 'faster than fake news on social media'. The book also includes short digressions on word origins and social observations, such as racism in matrimonial columns and the futility of NOTA votes.
The Indian Opinion
The narrative that easy, everyday humour has vanished ignores writers like Khyrunnisa who mine it from mundane moments. Some may dismiss her style as too gentle, but the book’s charm lies in precise phrase-making, not stand-up punchlines. The test is whether readers chuckle at the autorickshaw chaos or the suitcase-sized wedding album, not whether every dig lands.
