Ordered to Laugh

Indian armed forces and its allied services, branches and organisations – all know that laughter is the best medicine. This book is not just a ‘joke’ book; it is a compilation of authentic and uniformed jokes, anecdotes and comic situations in the Indian armed forces. The cover of the book is equally interesting – while a major is falling down, the soldiers are saluting him, instead of helping him. All the jokes are in good humour – incisive, direct and succinct. So if you wish to read something on a lighter note, this one is for you and it is bound to make you smile.
