To all my fellow sea-mates and my noble sailors around the world,
This is the day for us to take pride in what we do - keeping the world alive and running. No matter what people on the land perceive us as, we can never change their negative and narrow mindsets. Simply, because they are ignorant, they know nothing about us! There can be no biggest compliment for our deeds than seeing the world alive and growing!
We belong to the breed that puts discipline and hard work at the pinnacle of performance. While there can be millions who dress up in their Armani suits and ride their Mercs and BMWs to their plush offices, but when we dress every morning in our worksuits, what we carry on our shoulders is even more gigantic and noble responsibility - “keeping the world alive". Those stripes on our shoulders are much more than mere glitzy fabric - they are the testimony of perseverance and ability to perform under situations - one in Merc or BMW can never imagine! A
nd while we do that, there will be hearts missing us much more than they do for others, there will be pairs of eyes who will be longing to see us more desperately than they would do for others, there will be mothers waiting to see their sons, there will be a baby waiting for his father’s first touch & there will be the “Queen" who dons many hats while she battles the world alone while her “King” is away. Of course, no one else can understand what it means to be one among the “Chosen Ones" or the loved ones of the Chosen ones - they rightly say - You need to be One, to know one!
Congratulations & wishing #pride & #glory to each of our #sailor brotherhood, & #respect to their queens, children and families, #takeabow!
May the Almighty protect us, our families and bless us with the prosperity & glory of the seas! Amen!

With Best Regards,
