Critical Thinking

Mahatma Gandhi said, “Your beliefs become your thoughts, your thoughts become your words, your words become your actions, your

actions become your habits, your habits become your values, your values become your destiny.”

Critical thinking is the ability to think rationally in the decisions that one makes in his everyday life. Thinking patterns are central in shaping

the outcome of our lives. They color the way that we see life events objectively in negative or positive ways. Both big and everyday life events

are objective because it is we, who give imbue them with meaning and affection. For instance, if we develop a habit of thinking that we are

not capable of bringing changes in our lives, we will keep settling for mediocrity of opportunities rather than reach for the stars. Thinking

patterns are then, habits of the mind and these habits carry within them a tremendous capacity for self-growth or self-destruction.

The difference lies in the choices one makes when we process information. At the core of this concept of critical thinking is self reflexivity.

Self-reflexivity is a thinking pattern which if imbibed can lead one down the path of success and inner peace. It is having an accurate image of

one’s self therefore, not overvaluing or undervaluing oneself. It is the ability to think objectively about our attitudes, behaviours and actions.

It allows one to be mindful about the consequences of one’s actions. Self-reflection involves an introspection of the yesteryears, which seems

to be lacking in the hustle-bustle of today’s world where one takes some time to look inward rather than outward on a screen. We must strive

to bring back these habits of thought that served our forefathers well.

There are some skills of critical thinking that are of utmost importance to the decision making that accompanies life as a mariner when he or

she meets the challenges on board. The first is the ability to accurately interpret and analyse information using our past reservoir of

knowledge to analysis and assimilate information. The second is deductive and inductive thinking about this information. Deductive thinking

involves the ability to come up with conclusions based on the information while; inductive thinking is when one comes up with novel and

creative solutions. These solutions should then be implemented with a degree of self-regulation, which involves clarity of choices of action

that come from the inferences made by inductive and deductive thinking.

Empress of Ireland – Canada’s Titanic

Capt. Ananth Ram Murthy, Sr. Training Superintendent - Nautical

It was my Canadian cadet who posed the interesting question. “Sir, do you know this wreck is of which vessel?”, pointing to a wreck symbol on a chart of Rimouski. He had me stumped on this. He was no ordinary cadet. French Canadian and belonging to a family of mariners who piloted vessels on the St. Lawrence River, he knew his stuff. After initial schooling he decided not to go the same way as his grandfather, father or brother had done and set up a hardware store. It was his sea going girlfriend who made him rethink and at the age of twenty five plus decided to quit his existing venture and instead join the marine academy at Rimouski as a deck cadet. A semester later, he was onboard my ship to fill in the sea time after the academy stint. His two hobbies included translating from French to English and deep sea diving. During his dives off Rimouski, he was drawn to the wreck of Empress of Ireland. He later was involved in translating writings in French to English about the St Lawrence River.

This is the wreck of the Empress of Ireland which sank after collision in 1914 with more lives lost than the Titanic. It was not surprising how many are not aware of the incident or chose to forget it. The incident happened the same time as the preparations for World War I were in progress. Also unlike the Titanic, it was not a maiden voyage and did not have the glamour of the rich and famous. As we dug into history, we came to know the entire story of the disaster.

The Canadian Pacific liner Empress of Ireland was delivered in 1906 for the transatlantic segment of the company’s highly subsidised mail service from UK to Japan via Canada. She departed Quebec City for Liverpool at 16:30 local time on 28 May 1914, with 1,477 passengers and crew. Henry George Kendall had just been promoted to captain of the Empress at the beginning of the month and it was his first trip down the Saint Lawrence River in command of the vessel. Shortly after midnight the ship collected the last mail bags at Rimouski Dock, then, after dropping the pilot at Father Point, the Empress gathered speed and headed for open water. At 01:38 on May 29, the lights of another ship were spotted. The ship was the laden Norwegian collier Storstad, a 6,000-ton vessel, in bound from Sydney, Nova Scotia and heading for Father Point to pick up a pilot, before continuing up river. Captain Kendall was on the bridge of the Empress of Ireland. He judged that the approaching ship was roughly eight miles away, giving him ample time to cross her bow. When he decided he was safely beyond the collier's path, he set course for the Gulf of St Lawrence. If he held this new course, the two ships should pass starboard side to starboard side, comfortably apart. Movements after he had executed this manoeuvre, a creeping bank of fog, peculiar to the St. Lawrence at this time of year (when the warm air of late spring encounters a river chilled by icy melt-water) swallowed the Norwegian ship, then the Empress. What happened later has never been totally clarified, but had both ships involved exercised less caution, the accident would probably not have happened.

The Captain of Storstad was not on the bridge and was not called until after she entered the fog bank and the crucial decisions had been made. The first mate and others on the bridge claimed to have distinctly seen the Empress of Ireland's red navigational light just before the fog closed in. If that was correct, the red light meant her portside was showing, which indicated that the big ship had turned to pass them to portside. This is what the men on the Storstad's bridge assumed. After a few minutes groping blindly forward, the Storstad's mate grew nervous and ordered the collier to turn to starboard, away from what he presumed to be the other ship's course. In reality he was turning the Storstad into the Empress's side. As he was also concerned by the fog and the proximity of the other ship, Captain Kendall gave three blasts on Empress of Ireland’s whistle, indicating to the other ship that he was ordering the liners engines full astern. As soon the way was off his ship, Kendall sounded two long blasts, keeping her bow pointing on the course he had chosen while waiting for a clear sign that the other ship was safely past. The next thing he saw were two masthead lights materializing out of the murk to starboard and heading straight at him. The two ships were already too close to avoid a collision, but Kendall ordered full ahead and a sharp turn to starboard in a vain attempt to swing his stern away from the approaching vessel so that it would only deliver a glancing blow. The impact when it came was deceptively gentle. Storstad struck between the Empress’s two funnels however, tearing a 350 square foot hole in her side.

Photo : Empress of Ireland measured 14,191 GRT; 570 feet LOA, 548 feet 10 inches BP; 65 feet 9 inches beam. It was Twin screw, powered by 2 four-cylinder quadruple expansion engines, providing a service speed of 18 knots. She had accommodation for 310 first class, 500 second class, 500 third class and 270 steerage passengers.

In total 1,012 people died, many from hypothermia, 840 were passengers, eight more than the passenger deaths in Titanic.

Friends! Wrecks symbols on charts are not just dangerous or not dangerous as per location. They are history of vessels lost due to one reason or the other. A slight effort on your part will give you more insight in to them. You will agree today you have today more information at disposal than any generation before you.

Traditionally, all reefer containers are designed to carry only one cargo at one specified temperature. However Dual Container Units are capable of carrying two different reefer cargoes at two different temperatures. Using a movable partition plate the container can be divided into two different compartments of required volumes. Usually, the compartment closer to the cargo loading doors at the rear of the container is used to carry chilled cargo at a relatively higher temperature and the inner compartment which is closer to the reefer machinery is used to carry frozen cargo which requires a lower temperature. The machinery consists of a single compressor, a single condenser, two expansion valves and two evaporators. The two expansion valves are set to maintain two different temperatures and the two evaporators are located in the two respective compartments. The operation is somewhat similar to that of the ships’ cold rooms, which operates from a single compressor, but maintains different temperatures at different chambers by using individual evaporators and expansion valves supplemented by usage of individual back pressure valves.

Teachers are not only persons who teach but they are parents, friends and confidantes. They are the ones who make the cadets feel at home even miles away from home. This was the ethos of the event which took place as Teachers Day which was celebrated at AEMA on 4 September 2015, commemorating the birthday of ex-President of India Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan which occurs on 5 September. Cadets paid their respects to the faculty members by organising a cultural programme in which the cadets and the faculty members participated with zest and enthusiasm. The cultural programme consisted of a magic show and many songs, dances, skits and poems which portrayed the role of teachers in shaping the destiny of the students and the country.

On 14th July, AEMA welcomed Third Officer Tanvinder Sudan of DNS 2 batch back to AEMA campus. Tanvinder Sudan was a recipient of the award from National Maritime Day celebrations committee for scoring the highest marks in this year’s 2nd Mates exams. As he was sailing at the time this award was presented on National Maritime Day, AEMA conducted a Felicitation Function on 14 July 2015 and presented him the award. Tanvinder gave the cadets some insight about the life of a cadet and junior officer onboard marine vessels. He started off by recounting his experiences on the vessels as a cadet. He gave them various tips to put at rest their apprehensions about life on board. He also warned them against slacking off and using unfair means to fill up their cadet record books. The cadets then had an interactive session with Tanvinder wherein he cleared all their doubts.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MUSIC

-BIKRAMJIT SINGH, GME 16

What would life be without music? The world would be a very

quiet place. Music is in many ways the fabric of our lives and

the definition of society. It is a reminder of how things once

were, an indication of how things are, and a view of where

society is headed. Music is a direct reflection of the picture of

society.

Music can be a way to deliver messages, a poetic medium, a

fine art, or nothing more than a source of entertainment. No

matter what it is used for, music is the perfect art and our

lives would be much less complete without it that life as we

know it would not at all be the same without music. Music is

the perfect art. It has movement because it progresses over a

set period of time. All musical works have a beginning and an

end.

However, music does not restrict the audience in the way that

movies or graphic art does. The listener can create whatever

image she or he wants to when listening to music. It is an art

that appeals to the conscious mind, but the best music also

appeals to the subconscious. No thought is required to enjoy

good music, though it is often thought-inspiring. Instrumental

music does not bind the listener into a fixed template in the

way that literature and poetry does: the reaction to music is

different from person to person.

Music can inspire people. When enjoying a piece of music, one

element that people pay attention to is the lyrics. Sometimes,

the lyrics can be illuminating and encouraging, giving people

strength. When you feel that hope is slim and that the world

has turned its back to you, the songs softly dry your tears

telling you that there can be miracles when you believe,

though hope is frail, its hard to kill. Thus you get the courage

and determination to go on chasing your future.

In addition to inspiration and meditation, people also find love

in music. Deep in the heart, what everyone earns for and

seeks after is a piece of true love.

As for me, music is in my DNA. At leisure, I just engross myself

in music. When gloomy, music affords me power; when ego –

centric, music reminds me of loved ones. In the future, those

love songs may comfort me.

How life would be without the company of music is truly

beyond my imagination!

HOPE IS EVERYTHING

-NILOY CHAKRAVARTI, GME 16

It is very important to hold onto something when you are down to the

surface. When everything around you just seems to fall apart or

nothing seems achievable. Hope, maybe it’s a bit too cliché but it’s

true. A person with hope in his heart can fight anything, any obstacle,

cross any hurdle, reach any goal. He will live, and life is worth living to

the fullest. We can never move ahead in our lives if we give up soon

enough or if we lose hope. So cling onto it and never let it go because

without it we would be lost. Life is full of challenges and the first step

to face them is to convince yourself that you can do it.

Hope always believes for the best, even in the face of the worst circumstance. It is much more than a wish, a yearning or a positive outlook. It’s like an assurance that everything will fall into place. The pressures of life may overwhelm you but if you keep your hope alive and never give up, life will take a new turn.

Take the case of Brigadier General Robinson Risner, "Robbie", who spent seven years as a POW at the "Hanoi Hilton," as prisoners of war called their North Viet Nam compound. There he discovered the power of hope. He spent four and a half years of that time in isolation. He endured ten months of total darkness. Those ten months were the longest of his life. When they boarded up his little seven-by-seven foot cell, shutting out the light, he wondered if he was going to make it. He had already been under intense physical and mental duress after years of confinement. And now, not a glimmer of light shone into his cell -- or into his soul.

Robbie spent hours a day exercising and praying. But at times he felt he could do nothing but scream. Not wanting to give his captors the satisfaction of knowing they'd broken him, he stuffed clothing into his mouth to muffle the noise as he screamed at the top of his lungs.

One day Robbie got down on the floor and crawled under his bunk. He

located a vent that let in outside air. As he pressed against the vent, he

saw a faint glimmer of light reflected on the inside wall of the opening.

Robbie put his eye next to the cement wall and discovered a minute

crack in the construction. It allowed him to glimpse outside, but was so

small that all he could see was one blade of grass. A single blade of

grass and a faint ray of light. But when he stared at the sight, he felt a

surge of joy, excitement and gratitude like he hadn't known in years.

"It represented life, growth, and freedom," he later said, "and I knew

God had not forgotten me." It was a tiny glimmer of hope that

sustained Robbie through an unbearable ordeal. Every achievement,

every miracle or every success story is based on the foundation of

hope. So listen to your heart, be strong and believe in something. It

might be God or an idol you look up to. Because eventually we are

going to need that belief to take us forward and fight these pressures

in life.

THE RENAISSANCE OF INDIA IN SPORTS

-DEEPAK P BHASI, GME 16

The people of India were always known for their attachment towards

sports and physique. Mahabharata, the famous Indian epic, has shown

us how passionate the people in ancient era were towards sports, we

have understood that the people in olden age were very much attached

to sports like wrestling, archery, chess etc.

What happened then to Indian sports ever later? Where did the passion

of Indian sportsmen go? Why were the Indians not getting golden

feathers in International arena? Mysterious was the downfall of India in

sports from the highest peak to dead bottom till the beginning of 21st

century, the best example being the condition of Indian hockey.

The start of 21st century has set an enormous spark for the renaissance

of sports in our country. It all started when Abhinav Bindra, aka

“Golden finger”, won a gold medal for the country in the 2008 Beijing

Olympics. Then on there was no looking back for Indian sportsmen. Mr.

Bindra made a landmark and that made a huge impact on the minds of

sportsman all around the country. It made people dream bigger.

The dreams started to sprout and soon we started watching India

making golden footprints in field of sports like hockey, shooting,

archery, badminton, wrestling, boxing and the list started to get bigger

ever after. For ever since the introduction of cricket in our country, the

sport has found massive support from the Indian mass.

In 2011, we saw India becoming the world champions. In 2011-12 we

saw Vijender Singh becoming World number one in boxing. Indian

hockey saw it’s long gone golden memories returning from ruins with

the victory in Asian Championship. The country started witnessing

individuals bringing laurels to the nation, the best being Saina Nehwal

in Badminton, Sushil Kumar in Wrestling and Pankaj Advani in billiards.

The long path of success is always the finest product of dedication and

hardwork. The story of ace Indian shooter Jithu Rai is an inspiration for

sportsmen all over the world, after being thrown out off the Army

marksmanship academy ‘thrice’ in 2008, Mr. Rai never gave up. Instead

he pursued his dream of being the World number one with dedication

and hardwork. By winning back to back gold medals in commonwealth

games, World championships and Asian Games, Jithu Rai became the

World Number one in 2014. Jithu Rai proved the world that there is no

substitute for hardwork.

The development of sports and its athletes portrays the growth of the

country at an international level. With the increasing improvement in

sports, professionalism and infrastructure building that are seen in the

developing ‘sports fanatic’ country, sooner we can see a branded label

of “ sports super power” in this deeply sports passionate and

enthusiastic nation called India.

ONCE YOU MAKE A DECISION, THE

UNIVERSE CONSPIRES TO MAKE IT HAPPEN

-TUSHAR DAGAR, GME 16

We are a part of this universe. There is a power that connects us

to every other particle existing in this universe and this power is

so enormous that it can do anything that you can’t even think of

doing. Believe it or not but this power resides inside every one of

us. It remains dormant until and unless we realise its existence

and start using it towards our aims and goals.

Just imagine why 97% of total wealth resides in the hand of only

3% people of the world. Why some people are able to do things

that a common man can’t even think of doing. Did you ever think

of becoming the richest person in the world or becoming the

most powerful person in the world? Did you?

If a person is making a decision to earn one crore rupees and is

promising himself to give his maximum effort to complete his

goal, being optimistic all the time, he manages to apply around

80% of his effort and reaches to 80 lacs. At the same time another

person makes a goal to earn 100 crore rupees, even if he is

applying in 1% effort he is earning 1 crore. This makes it clear that

we should aim very high without thinking about it being

practically possible. Once we have set a goal, we visualise it and

feel the greatness of it while we imagine it becoming true.

Become great thinkers and connect to the infinite power of the

universe that will create magic in your life.

The human body has every element that ever existed in the

universe. We have the ability to create. Never ever doubt

yourself because you possess the power inside you which is as

huge as this universe.

Once you have decided your aim you may follow some steps to

achieve that goal.

Step 1 - Don’t be concerned about when you will achieve your

aim. Step 2 - Realise the true power of intention. Step 3 - Realise

deeply that you have the ability to do what you aim for. Step 4 -

Gain self awareness about the creator inside you. Step 5 - Follow

what your inner voice tells you to do and just flow with harmony

of the universe. Step 6 - Feel the essence of your desires and go

towards them without any doubts. Step 7 - Realize that power to

create, your reality will grow with determination. Step 8 - Keep

telling yourself about the dream and visualise it becoming true.

Step 9 - Create what you want to, in the magic of your dreams,

you will surely find the universe showing you the paths for

achieving your goal and it will automatically remove all the

obstacles in between, if you decide to walk on that path.

POEM ON POEM -SANJIT PATTANAIK, GME 16

If a poem could cost a dime I will spend my ink and spend my time

Making the perfect rhyme More than a million people may read it

Even if I have to sell it on credit I will be the businessman with wit

Sit down! Think about it!

A penny for the perfect sentence A penny for a poem glaring with essence

A penny for writing about the present and past tense A penny for describing a situation that is intense

A penny if I write truthfully without pretence As I turn away from crime Making the perfect rhyme

If a poem could cost a pound

I will turn my life around As I compose the perfect poetic sound That rhymes against any background

My words will be sublime

Not just the perfect rhyme They will be read both at teatime and during bedtime

My sentences will mature in their prime with time As I turn away from crime Making the perfect rhyme

If a poem could cost a pound

I will turn my life around As I compose the perfect poetic sound That rhymes against any background

My words will be sublime Not just the perfect rhyme

They will be read both at teatime and during bedtime My sentences will mature in their prime with time

As I turn away from crime Making the perfect rhyme

I wander through the sands of time, Searching for that perfect rhyme. The one which would set me free, Comfort me in my hours of wee.

Be my constant, my wisdom tree, Shield me from the flying debris.

But my search seems to be in vain,

Can’t find anything to ease the pain. The battle between my heart and brain,

Is taking control, driving me insane. Don’t know how long, will I last this way,

Can’t find sunshine, not even a ray.

But life goes on and so will I,

I will battle till the storm runs dry. My body may hurt, the heart may cry,

But I will endure till I reach the sky. May I fall by the pressure of the rain,

Look out world, for I'll rise again.

WAVES -UTSAV JAISWAL, DNS 12

Let your water wash away, All these distances I've made.

Falling in time of my own, These rays pierce through my skin.

I like to know what's inside, Sail my ship on your shore. See it all through my eyes,

That all this show is just a lie.

Trying to crawl, you'll see me fall. We'll know how much more I've got.

Distances never make it easy. But it’s okay, I'm used to it now.

Don't question me, I won't be kind.

Leave it all behind, I won't mind. I'm tired, I won't make a move.

I don't know what I've to choose.

Is it safe to confirm what I know? All these jilts that I've been through.

Singing for life I'll cry on. Trying to know who all I own.

Letting the tide suck me in,

And chemicals burst in. These are my only friends.

Giving me waves until the end. ‘til the end..

AS A MARINER -VINIT KUMAR, GME 16

Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me!

And may there be no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea,

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,

Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep,

Turns again home,

Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark!

And may there be no sadness of farewell, When I embark;

For though from out our bourne of Time and Place,

The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my pilot face to face

When I have crossed the bar.
