Friday (28/12/2018) Amazengg Mazdocks Nite :- Thanks to Mr Naresh. Jagtiani and Mr Sanjeev.Mehra for organizing the "Amazengg mazdocks " alumni night at Hotel Mirage in Mumbai. We all have navigated and engineered various paths in life after passing out of Mazagaon docks " 4 Years Marine Engineering Apprentice " Course. As for me the "Narrator" was attending the alumni get-together after a gap of 9 years and met a few of my batchmates after a gap of 36 years.Was also sad to having had a few of my batch-mates depart from this World into the afterlife.The seed of a annual "Amazengg Mazdocks " alumni get-together that my batchmates Mr Sanjeev.Ogale and Mr Girish.Kotwal planted has grown into a large tree with Mr Sanjeev.Mehra and Mr Naresh.Jagtiani carrying on the tradition .

Mr Sanjeev.Mehra.(Chief Organizer). |
On Friday (17/12/2021) there was a alumni get-together at "Mirage Hotel" and this time it was organized under the banner of " AMAZENG NAUTICAL ASSOCIATION(ANA)", a newly instituted association of ex- Mazagon Dock Marine Engineering apprentices that required formal enrollment and payment of joining subscription fee's.Mr Sanjeev.Mehra as usual was the chief initiator of "ANA" with assistance from Mr Bhushan.Raj,Mr Sanjeev.Ogale, Mr Girish.Kotwal,Mr Naresh.Jagtiani,Mr Rehan.Karanjia and Mr Naval.Oonwala to name a few of the founder members of the initiation stages of the "Mazagon Dock Alumni". I didn't enroll as a member for the simple reason that i had quit the shipping Industry way back in 2006 and now in a totally different profession although a regular attendee at all the get-togethers whenever in Mumbai .Entrance charges for ANA members was Rs 1500 and for Non-Members Rs 2000 and surely most of us Mariner's could and can afford a entrance fee without much damage to the wallet."Covid-19" had created havoc across the Globe and India with the Shipping fraternity floating staff severely effected due to ban on International level and crew changes in foreign ports.Hence the fact that a successful " Amazing Nautical Association (ANA)" dinner party being organized during difficult financial and health issues was a great achievement by the organizers.On Friday(17/12/2021) we all met at the "Mirage Hotel" and most importantly i got to meet Mr Biju.Karian who had specially flown in from Bangalore to attend this get-together.For the first time the spouses and children of a few Alumni members were present and it was a jovial evening of meeting old Marine Engineering apprentices as well as getting acquainted to the 21st century generation of "Marine Engineering Apprentices". Below are a few photographrs of the Amazing evening of Marine Comaraderie.
