DAY OF THE SEAFARER

Some moments of life become memorable for your whole life and do come to mind from time to time. Alike an occasion in my seafarer employment still in my mind even after seven years of retirement. When I think about that moment my soul shivers. Then I try my best to stick my mind to other works and change my focus. Something very worst happened on that occasion which continuously keeps me reminded of my regret.

Alas! Wish I was able to save the life of that innocent child who was in between the sharp teeth of a strong shark fish. I was working as a watch leader at that time and my duty was to alert my captain of any danger. We were towards our destination Australia from Barbados, West Indies. In mid of night, I noticed the movement of a shark just a few KM away from our ship. I feel danger and before I went to alert my captain of the situation that shark attacked the ship. A large number of people were traveling with us with families. And one family had a six-year-old child with them.

Regret of my seafarer employment

I haven't seen a shark in this furious mood in my whole career.  The little child was watching it from an open window fall out of the ship after the hit of the shark. The intensity of the shark’s hit was too high as everyone on the ship feels it. The shark sees that child and moves towards him quickly. I with other crew members and the life saver team dive into the sea to distract the focus of the shark. But all in vain we won't be able to turn the focus of the shark.

Soon after shark bites the little child in front of my eyes. He cries for help but the shark takes him far away from us in its mouth. A little child scarifies his life and saves many other lives. This moment was the harshest of my life. All of the remaining people reached the destination safely. Whenever my mind feels free the cries of that child start in my mind and my heart weeps tears of blood. I pray he gets heaven upon his sacrifice for us.

Everything is achievable

  It's in the nature of humans that they always seek to achieve their dreams. Some of them achieve it by continuous hard work and some of them just think it in their imagination. A day is observed on the 14 th of April, to motivate everyone to reach as high as you can . A general message is conveyed on this day that “ everything is achievable ”. No one by birth is a real-time hero, once the goal is set patience, time, a strong personality, and a clear stance are required. An example must be written to completely understand the struggle behind the biggest achievement. Achievement of a Black person in a discriminative society Nelson Mandela is considered the hero for blacks who raise their voice for equal rights for them like white people. Worldwide acceptance is not an easy task but Mandela with his continuous struggle faces many difficulties and was jailed for almost 27 years and beaten multiple times but he never took his stance back. The more than 50 years of difficult per

U know when you meet a long-lost person the feelings becomes priceless. Mine condition was also same and I cannot control myself from weeping. During emotional moments between us I made an interaction on the gift pack which he was holding in his hand. I deliberately asked about it. Inside the gift there was none other than my favorite “Amritsari KULCHA”. Which we used to eat in childhood before shifting. And I got surprised that the taste of that KUCHLA still like 55 years ago.
