Funny Side Up is a collection of funny essays, stories, poems and tidbits by Ruskin Bond, one of India's much loved author. With an ability to look at ordinary situations with unique wit and acuity, Ruskin Bond talks about many variety of topics. There are monkeys who appear everywhere with no specific design, an uncle who does not find his mooring in anything, an aunt with a phobia of flowers, an eccentric cousin who thinks he is the great cricket player Ranji, a bank manager enamored by the wild nature and so much more. Talking about the Indian culture, Bond gives a personal history of nothingness covering about half a century and the length and breadth of India. A fun and engrossing read.
