It’s PunnyOops, I mean Funny! by Namita Da
After going through a good number of scifi, historic fictions and life learning books, I picked up this book for some light humour and puns. And the book provided me with just what I wanted.
The book has several chapters with short stories or should I say myriad life instances or journey through the eyes of a couple. The author’s sense of humour and wit created while sharing the couple’s experiences is amazing I must say.
I loved this book and out of all the chapters, I loved the chapter ‘Dink’ the most. The pun intended here is just too good. I could relate to the probing aunts in the neighborhood who would literally try to gather as much personal information as they possibly can. The cricket team comment was a nice one.
How many of you have been used like a doormat by others? The chapter ‘Use Me’ fits to this situation. And I think I would still support the hubby for his action.
I wonder if ‘Plunder Tale’ really happened. But yes, we do realize that sometimes we are surprised with people’s unexpected behavior.
Each chapter starts with a pun intended quote. And I think I loved Albert Einstein’s quote the most:
‘Women marry men hoping they will change. Men marry women hoping they will not. So, each is inevitably disappointed.’ LOL
Every chapter has a life situation handled and managed by the couples with a practical sense of humour, wit, and insights as well.
To sum up,
It’s relatively easy to make someone cry than to make someone smile and laugh. And the author does it amazingly well. The author is really creative in her narratives filled with pragmatism, humor with sarcasm and pun intended.

Kichakeswari Temple at Khiching
Chandrasekhara temple or commonly known as Khiching, an ancient temple of the Bhanja dynasty rulers of the Mayurbhanj district of Odisha, lies about 200 km from Baripada. This place is dominated by scores of temples of which many are still in active worship. The rest are mostly in ruins and form archaeological sites. The most important and key temple in this area is the Chandrasekhara temple, presided by the predominant deity of Khiching, Goddess Kichakeswari. She is the most sacred Goddess of the Mayurbhanj rulers and is still worshiped at present.
The temple is surprisingly present at a remote location surrounded by a thick jungle comprising of the Saal trees which is common in this area. The temple was built by the early Bhanja chief known as Kottabhanja or Digabhanja somewhere around the 11th century AD. However, looking at the temple architecture prevalent in ancient Odisha and the Chlorite slabs and Black stones used, the temple is believed to be far older.
The temple is surrounded by beautiful sculptures and carvings of Lord Ganesha in a unique dancing pose, Goddess Durga killing the demon Mahisasura and many more.
A museum was built by Maharaja Purna Chandra Bhanja Deo, of the Bhanja dynasty in the year 1922 AD to help preserve the statues and ruins surrounding the temple.
One question that arises out of curiosity is that how come the temple was in the middle of such a deep remote jungle? Could there possibly be habitation around the temple in the remote past or was it purposely built at a specific location just like the Sun temple of Konark.
