Recently I had the occasion to review a humor writer's book. The writer goes by the name of Melvin Durai, and the book by "Bala Takes the Plunge" and the publishers by Hachette.
For those who have read the book, this review might hold out for a handful of laughs!
Bala takes the Plunge
The most important phrasal question posed in the book for any Bollywood and Cricket lover is ... Lagaan 2, 3, 4, 5? - the rest of the book being zoned out by peeping yardsticks. (22, to be precise).
One of the mechanistic pluses of this book is that it has a gag a page and previews sufficiently intended puns. I guess it is family safe, except for having Flex-Appeal where you pray that you exercise the flab out of your innuendo before it trickles down to your kids.
I'm not going to spill the plot except that the girl gets the boy, while he is janitorially busy mopping up the floor (who wouldn't...? I mean, ...spill this part of the plot...). And when the ground beneath her feet is figuratively swept away, literally Rushdie is involved for a measure of back-up, greased and fizzed with junk food.
If you don't feel the spark of matrimonial humour while reading this book, then blame your coming of age rituals.
An archetype engineer who doctors machines to scream perfect figure, gets really fat with age at thorty (thirty going on forty). While building up a fortune in a name-wronged country, where Nivea could marry Colgate, our hero is obsessed with reinventing the spare-tyres of lore.
His directorial debut of companionship, adopting America from the shelter, isn't blockbuster lifestyle enough and the director of long job titles seeks to direct advertorial matchmakers.
When America gets to sniff Serenity without much dogged persuasion, astronomical balding is put aside and makes for a couple who in spite of their long-drive marital aspirations remain friends with spark-plugs (or rather sparks plugged).
Bumbling cousin-idols stop playing coy and become musicals with benefits, and our boy who is still the center of the pin-up plot erects a monument in honor of parental skirt-chasing and flags the motherland plane.
Amidst slender one-word repliers and girls as little spoilt as those who would have had let them eat cake, a lax woman cartoonist who is a press-ing interlude enters dramatically.
Priya, the girl, doesn't shake on this theater, as the finally unfolding classroom romance lightens up in the end as the boy gets hen-sponsored towards mustering realistic film-craft.
The in-laws guess that they get to be happy with the portending dowry of free newspaper subscriptions.
I won't be too harsh to say that this is humor writing with genius, but you could thumb up the dictionary to H for happy-endings.
