Having recently returned from Nairobi where Mo is near the finishing line of his biography.Having handed the filming camera to his son Sam who has very ably stepped in his dad`s shoes Mo still loves to hang his still`s camera round his neck and has taught me and my friends the art of taking those exellent shots. Having been to those places like the` hot` crator in Aden[yemen] without wearing protective shields or bullet proof vests, Mo wants Sam to be proud of his dad and to remember the image that he was not a frightened being.
Like many others I cannot wait to see my only surviving gentle brother`s passionately written Book displayed in the bookshops very soon.

I met him in the late 80′s early 90′s when I worked in Nairobi, and have common family friends. A fascinating, thoroughly polite and gentle man,to a fault, immensely modest about his achievements, and what a collection of stories and adventures he had. I would really look forward to reading his autobiography.

I have neen meeting with Mo during the last two weeks in connection with writing a book on Ugandan Asians. I found he and Mo Amin covered most of the events in Idi Amin’s reign over Uganda. He’s everything everyone has said above – a gentleman, with the accent on gentle, humble and kind. He showed me a draft of his autobiography. I think it’ll move some people.

i think it is beatifull that men go to great lengths to bring us sights of worlds so far from us so that we can all appreciate the human desire, inbiult will and strength to survive under the most deplorable conditions. i say goodos to Mo’ for bringing far away closer to home.

Have known Mohinder from my school days (late ’40s) when he took up photography with a Kodek Brownie box camera, rising to a prominent international press cameraman. He has brought many important historical events to the world attention through the power of his lens; needless to say that some of them were undertaken with little or no consideration of his own safety. Mohinder has always taken lime light and adversity with equanimity. In his successfull life he did not loose sight of consideration and compassion for others, a quality he has shared with his father, who was a prominent Kenya pioneer.
