CHUCKLE MERRY SPIN : US IN THE U.S

Written in funny and charming style, Khyrunnisa Ma’am’s Chuckle Merry Spin gives an insightful view into the everyday surprises (and struggles!) of visiting the U.S. It was also highly informative and helpful for me, as well as engrossing and absolutely hilarious to say the least! Through her entertaining travelogue, the author takes us along as they travel from one destination to other in the US meeting wonderful people along the way. Together with the author, I also met Gary, the cab driver, the lovely Sue & Larry of ‘The Atlas Waterfront Café’ and many other interesting people, who too have found a special place in my heart. To someone, like me, who has never visited the US, there were some things that came as a total surprise to me, such as the information that there are no public restrooms in Door County, something I would have never guessed otherwise. In a nutshell, the book had me chuckling all the while. I shall now keep those handy tips that the author so kindly shared in her book, when I visit the U.S sometime in my life.

“Did the U.S. have to be so far away from India? Imagine, having to fly nineteen hours to reach Chicago. Yikes! All because Christopher Columbus couldn’t sit at home and follow his father’s wool trade like a good boy. Ah, well, no point wool gathering about re-inventing history to suit your convenience. Now that we had our visas, we had to think of booking tickets.”When Khyrunnisa and her husband, VK, decide to travel to the U.S. for their daughter-in-law’s graduation ceremony, they enthusiastically throw themselves into the preparations. Visas procured and warm clothes packed, they set forth. And what an adventure it turns out to be—full of peculiar restaurant rules, tipping norms, confusing subway stations, interesting places and entertaining conversations.Chuckle Merry Spin is a travelogue chronicling her visit to the US with her husband – their first overseas trip – and she captures every moment. The author collects her travel experiences of navigating the travel and tourism industry in India which carry forward with a keen observation of American culture, a crash-course about the country’s history, it’s natural beauty and the components of the American social fabric.A humour-filled travelogue with every moment that is as comedic as it is relatable, this is as much an entertainer for the spirited adventurer as it is for the armchair traveller. And, whichever traveller you choose to be, you will always find the comfort of home and the warmth of friends in every story.For complete review, visit aquamarineflavours.wordpress.com

An awesome read! It’s as if the author , Miss Khyrunissa took us readers, along with her , while visiting US. Chuckle Merry Spin is a travelogue, filled with anecdotes , mostly funny, of her first visit to US. Her usage of rhyming words, to describe situations, has always surprised me, as a reader. We also get to know a little bit about the history of various places. One can also use the book to create an itinerary while planning a trip to the US. All in all, I couldn’t keep the book down , after I started to read, until I finished reading the book. Loved the cover page , so colourful and eye catching. Thank you Miss, for this wonderful book.
