Jahaazi Bhaai

Raza Ali Abidi

This book whose title roughly translates as "Shipmates (a travelogue)" is yet another very interesting reportage written by famous author, researcher and broadcaster Razaa 'Ali 'Aabdi. This is a travelogue introducing the small island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. The learned author who always has a remarkably deep observation has put all the important facts about Mauritius in his unique attractive and interesting style. Utilizing several techniques including interviews, reports of meetings and conferences etc., the writer uses his magical style to keep the reader engaged in an enjoyable journey and trip around Mauritius. The otherwise boring description of the history, geography and the people of the island can now be digested as an enjoyable read.
