About the Author
Captain and writer — two lives shaped by one long journey.
What the sea taught him found its way onto the page
Captain Abdul Lateef Lashari entered maritime life at Karachi Marine Academy in 1988. The journey that began as a cadet led to the highest Master Mariner certification in May 2000, and then to senior responsibilities as a Senior Pilot and Loading Master in the ports of Abu Dhabi — where he has served with ADNOC Logistics & Services since September 2012.
During the same years he also served as a Nautical Surveyor and Examiner with the Mercantile Marine Department, and as a trainer and mentor to young mariners. Ships by day, a diary by night — and that diary became the foundation of his two Sindhi travelogues.

The product of more than a decade of work, his second travelogue is a deeper, longer journey. Readers have especially praised the effort behind it — and the honesty of its writing.
