Review by Ghulam Suhrawardi 6N

Mubahir Bhai’s book is a heartfelt tribute to his love for the Bangladesh Marine Academy and his deep connection to Bangladesh as a whole. His background as a Pathan from Peshawar, combined with his experiences in Bangladesh, creates a unique perspective that enriches the narrative. The fact that the book is partly an autobiography makes it even more personal, and it seems like he has done a great job of sharing his emotions and experiences with his readers.

It’s also great to hear that Mubahir Bhai is planning to revise the book to enhance its appearance and make necessary corrections. That kind of dedication to refining and improving one’s work speaks to his commitment to both the subject matter and the readers. It’s always exciting when authors put in the effort to ensure their work is as polished as possible—wishing him the best of luck in his revisions!

Mubahir Bhai’s book beautifully captures not just his connection to the Bangladesh Marine Academy, but also the achievements and spirit of the Bangladesh Mariners. Highlighting the Academy and its role in shaping individuals is a powerful way to honor both the institution and the people who were part of it. It’s also interesting that he reflects on the memories of those who mattered most to him—it adds a deeply personal and emotional layer to the book, making it not just about the Academy but also about the relationships and experiences that shaped his journey.

The way he intertwines his own experiences with the broader achievements of the Bangladesh Mariners suggests a book that celebrates both personal and collective success. It must be a vibrant and nostalgic narrative.
