Off the Cuff: tales with wit, humour and uncommon sense

Through this collection of yarns and reflections, Commander Amrao Jung Bahadur Singh or ?AJB? invites you into the zany world he has lived in. The book is a collection of articles AJB wrote over the last five decades - many for ?The Statesman? of Kolkata and some for the sheer impish delight of it. They are quick and short sketches of the seemingly ordinary and the humdrum - lives of you and me. They have been written from the belief that God truly meant us human beings to laugh our way through our lives. Somewhere a screw got loose, and we lost the ability to ruminate, smile, snicker, chortle and guffaw. The narratives here are meant to reignite our faculties of warmth, camaraderie, friendship and laughter. You will find events, sights and memories in these tales that would surely mirror yours. This is a take on who we are as a people, viewed always through a kaleidoscope.
