Dream come true

Uh-uhh!
It’s a dream come true,
Lighting up my inner hues.

Look, look, look—
My very first printed book!
They are naughty 
The Birdy forty 

Floating high
On a silver line,
Come see,
These photos of mine.

A first book is special
In so many ways;
Holding it close,
I’m in a beautiful haze.

Forget the rules,
Forgive the pride...
This is a wild joy
I can no longer hide...

I am so happy to share that my first birding book, 'One Minute Birding' (English), is now live on Amazon!

This book features 40 common birds I’ve documented around our home, written from a commoner’s perspective. I’ve shared my first encounters, their naughty antics, and fun facts.

 While I published several e-books between 2019 and 2021, this project marks my official debut in physical print.

Moving from an e-book to a physical volume has been a journey of its own. Editing for the paperback format was the toughest task I’ve ever taken on, but I enjoyed every bit of the process. What started as fleeting moments captured through my lens has officially taken flight in a brand-new way!

The paperback is currently available on Amazon (US and UK), with the digital edition available globally, including in India.

 Since I cannot share the link here, I am happy to send it via
Soup mail if you are interested. 

You can also simply search for 'One Minute Birding' on Amazon to find the listing.
Thank you for your support...I hope you enjoy it...
