CAPT AJIT VADAKAYIL

Been in command of chemical tankers (mainly) for more than 6640 days -- spread over 30 years ( a world record! ) . My Chemical posts are free for ALL sailors on this planet . Any profit making person publishing extracts, must clearly write " reproduced from ajitvadakayil.blogspot.com / captajitvadakayil.in “, - it pays to remember, that the chemical contents are patented .This blogsite will transform your mind . You yourself, are the teacher, the pupil, the messiah, the seeker, the traveler and the destination . It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to this profoundly sick society . I am from INDIA, the mother of all civilizations . I will be re-writing world history , and this will surely not gratify the evil hijackers of human history . Awaken your inner voice . Your own conscience is the best interpreter . In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act . The naked truth can never be hate speech or defamation. This blog site does not sacrifice truth on the altar of political correctness . Do not enter this blog site if you cannot handle the truth . Capt Ajit Vadakayil leads the only silent revolution on this planet .. SHRADDHA , STRENGTH AND HONOR - ALWAYS !.
