As the ship makes its way, Mujtaba Ali tells stories of the island of Socrota with its pirates in search of treasure.

'Syed Mujtaba Ali knows how to perform magic through his writing! One moment his humour and wit will make you break out in roaring laughter and the next you find yourself buried in deep thought being touched by the poignance in his satire.' Dhaka Tribune. …
