Still in teens.. barely finished schooling.. out on the roads to explore the world... all on his own.. no support of any elderly.. ready to face the world to take care of a younger bro.. got married so early in life.. but was not lucky to spend all the time with his lovely wife.. he is on the sea for like 6-9 months.. n then gets break for couple of months to be with family.. cant imagine that kind of life.. all he does is reads maps, draws lines, directs the ship - yeah u got it right , he is the navigator for the ship.. He is the Sea Man.. he takes all these huge cargo ships to different ports... there are times when they dont get to see land like for almost 45 days... does he not get sick of water after so long... no mobiles to call loved ones.. only satellite phones to call back home.. no source of entertainment... they have no idea about lives on land.. they get to catch up with it once they are back home from work after months.. never get to see a movie when it is released.. can catch up after few months.. only thing they have to care about is water, sea creatures, wind, climate, etc.. what a life!!
Met a sea man on my way from schipol airport to chattrapti shivaji airport...
