Taking about her book Nyari quotes, “Only 2% women represent shipping amidst a whooping 1.2 million seafarers across the globe, and I am one of them. Having circumnavigated the earth carrying sugar, coal, and what not for the world, my experiences have been deeply enriching as that of the lone lady protagonist of my book.”
