Overview

Neither entirely British nor wholly Indian, the author fondly describes himself as an ""Indishman"" - a unique blend shaped by India's ancient value systems and Britain's gentle sensibilities. His career at sea carried him to distant lands, exposing him to a rich tapestry of cultures and human experiences. These encounters, both extraordinary and everyday, have found their way into the pages of this book. Refusing to fit into a single genre, the collection moves effortlessly between personal anecdotes, reflections, travel experiences, street-philosophy, and seven pieces of imaginative fiction. Through this eclectic mix, the author explores the quirks, contradictions, and common threads of human nature, reminding us that while our hopes and aspirations are often similar, each individual's story is wonderfully unique. Indishman is like a jar of assorted sweets. Dip in anywhere and savour each for its own distinct flavour, insight and warmth.
