Here is an excerpt from Soulflight:

"As I walk down memory lane, in a nostalgic search of silence, moments from the past and present unfold before my eyes. They are caught through my lenses and get frozen in time. The silence captures my memorable conversations with mountains, trees, stones and all living creatures.

Their stories are etched in light and shadow. Each page of this book remains a living witness, a slice of life and time, a timeless tale of a Traveller caged in an urban context at times and freed under an open sky during others."
