Book Review : Funny Side Up By Ruskin Bond!

Image
This is my second book by Ruskin Bond. This book is basically a collection of stories from daily happenings of Ruskin Bond. A detailed description of when he wakes up, what he does after he wakes up, his afternoon routine, his evening walks, in short about his daily routine in general. He shares his experience by transitioning from the Dehra of his childhood versus Dehra now. He talks about what he loved while growing up. There are so many characters that made an impact on his life. His little experiences which he remembers precisely even after so many years are kind of funny to read. Ruskins story of his pet and his adventures rather misadventures with uncle ken are presented as short stories in the book and are light hearted to read. There is nothing much you can find in the book. No story or biography or anything just little life experiences. Its just nothing about nothing! 2.5 stars out of 5!
