Tongue in Cheek: The Funny Side of Life – By Khyrunnisa A. (Author)

Transform your outlook on daily disruptions and discover how a healthy dose of humor can enliven the most ordinary, mundane moments of human existence. In Tongue in Cheek: The Funny Side of Life, celebrated columnist and beloved author Khyrunnisa A. delivers a masterfully witty and rib-tickling collection of lighthearted essays. Moving far past deep existential worries or cynical comedic tropes, this premium humor anthology functions as an instant personal pick-me-up—proving that life's best lessons are often wrapped in absolute absurdity and genuine laughter.

The collection features the author gamely experimenting with highly questionable organic, trash-based skincare routines, battling her way through chaotic crowds to reach a wedding feast, and accidentally flavoring her potato curry with rather dubious kitchen ingredients. Whether firmly dealing with a condescending household visitor or finding herself entangled in everyday neighborhood misadventures, Khyrunnisa writes with a remarkably clear, fluid, and engaging voice. Best known as the creator of the iconic, award-winning Butterfingers children’s book series and the popular fortnightly column "Inside View" in The Hindu Metro Plus, she brings her sharp observational wit to adult non-fiction with flawless grace. It stands as an indispensable, screen-free bedside companion or weekend balcony read designed to replace urban daily stress with absolute joy.Rather than overwhelming leisure readers with dense, unformatted blocks of prose, Tongue in Cheek utilizes a beautifully spaced, highly scannable layout. This delightful Westland Publications edition groups its lighthearted, slice-of-life adventures across four core narrative pillars:
