In this episode, I turned 21, and yes, it was incredible. That combined with a full cast install, the Vice President of Entertainment being on board and a new love interest, it made for one of the most memorable cruises of my career!

Hoping that quarantine life is treating you well in the meantime 😃. #WeWillBeBack

In this episode, we break from our usual structure. This is the story of my time aboard my ship during the COVID-19 Pandemic. It was an experience I’ll never forget and I’m so honoured to be able to share it with you.

Stay healthy and stay tuned for another episode that’ll cover my 21st birthday at sea. Until then stay healthy and I wish you the best!

This is a guided meditation for absolutely everyone. It doesn’t matter if you have practiced before or if this is your first time. It’s easy to follow along. You can perform this practice absolutely anywhere - in your home, outside, or even if you are out and about.

Focus on your breath. Be kind to yourself. And most importantly allow yourself to embrace the sounds which surround you, for these are the sounds of real life.

Embrace this practice in the best way that you can. 🙏🏽

Mindfully,

Kabir.

The incredibly beautiful background music is provided by Chris Collins from indiemusicbox.com.

For more information on mindfulness, check out Jack Kornfield https://jackkornfield.com. He has some fantastic insight, and is a massive source of inspiration for me. And of course, to the person that introduced me to my mindfulness practice, my Mom, Parmjit Rathaur (https://parmjitrathaur.com and https://instagram.com/parmjitrathaur).

I’m still on board my current ship, and it looks like I’ll be here for a while. But in the meantime I’m also enjoying writing music, new podcasts and taking in the sunshine ☀️.

This is also an ode to the industry I know and love so much. I mention some of my favourite ships; Celestyal Olympia (Sunbird) Freedom of the Seas, Queen Mary 2, Celebrity Century, Mercury and Galaxy (Marella Explorer 2, Marella Explorer and Mein Schiff Herz).

In terms of my journey, it’s November 2015 and I get some interesting news before my contract starts. As soon as I get to the ship all sorts of drama unfolds around me, including a Captain being fired. That and so much more!

I hope you and your family keeping healthy and safe. Wishing you all the best 😄.

The world has changed. The industry I know and love is on a complete pause. Listen in to hear about where ships are headed and what it’s like on board. Plus - my story continues with my first time being at home after my first contract. From handling a family crisis to catching up with the life that I had to put a pause on. This episode chronicles my journey in real time - and my current contract coming to a close. That, and so much more; I hope you enjoy it!

I’m also doing virtual Signature Dance Classes on my Instagram, so make sure you don’t miss out. I wish you good health and positivity 🙏🏽😌🚢.

My Roommate, Charlie, arrives to the ship, just in time for a cruise to Iceland and Norway. Once the dread of my day, Trivia becomes my new favourite activity after implementing some regulations and a self proclaimed title. Plus we cross the arctic circle - ceremony and all - and I finally find a ship romance. In real life I get ready to head back to work and begin 2020 with a new mindset. As always thank you so much for listening 🙏🏽🚢🇨🇦❤️.
