Captain’s Plan
Hello sir, I have been following you since I thought of getting into this field. Also, i joined in your live once, we had one on one conversation and you cleared some of my doubts that really helped me to make my decision in choosing engine or deck side. And also which marine institute is best. I just got passed out from Tolani Maritime Institute done Btech Marine Engineering and also got placed in synergy marine. Thankyou so much for your support and kind guidance❤️.Keep posting more informative stuff. Also share something on future planning like investment plans for mariners and marriage based on your experience that would be helpful too.
It is not often that you get to sail with people who become more than just seniors or colleagues, but close like family As much as it pained me to having missed Navjot sirs wedding, having an exemplary officer as your immediate senior especially as a first timer in a new rank is a blessing less spoken about I just want to thank Navjot sir for his constant belief in my ability and skill even more than myself and his ability to convince me that I could strive for more and become and achieve more greater things in this field I have truly learnt a lot in the 6 odd months we have sailed together and if fate allows it would never miss the chance to sail with him again Ab chhote bhai ki baat maank chief mate bano, aake fir mei aaram karunga aap dekh lena. Much love always
I don't know from where to start but people like you are hard to find, from day one to getting selected you were always like a support pillar for me. Whenever I had any doubt I never ever hesitated and felt free to contact you and that only because of your always ready to help attitude, no matter where you what you are doing but you always somehow managed to solve my queries , even if you couldn't you would always guide me the way to get through it. As now I am onboard i realised how tough life here is , people here sometimes don't even get time to sleep because of hectic schedule and I can't even imagine how you always managed to solve my queries and guide me maybe that is because of only your positive attitude I don't know how i would revert it back In future if I got a chance to sail with you I would definitely love to, from officers like quality to being a good and generous person there's so much to learn from you
