Storm in the Beer Mug
Wonderful book, heartfelt with anecdotes of a sailor's journey through life, not just sailors but anyone who has donned a uniform will empathise with and connect with Gaurav's voyage and those who didn't will get a peek at the heart behind the stern and crisp uniform

A witty read
The author in simple language takes the reader to his world in the Indian Navy and it's a pleasing read. Can't wait for the next book by Gaurav Agarwal.

Chirpy and honest!
A humorous recollection of memoirs from author's own life experiences presented in and an honest and witty style. The author beautifully blends quotes and phrases that are usual part of a mariner's lifestyle. Each story is crisp and does not drag unnecessarily. Already waiting for author's next book.

Lucid read
Read the book...you hv a very lucid & engaging style of writing.I like the total "naval" slant of the episodes, and why not.I had heard the grill episode which was hilarious. But I think all batches did it in some form or the other.Best wishes
