Book Description

A Child Lost in Flight is a first person account of a father coming to grips with the sudden death of his child on an international flight. The story is about his tragedy and the author’s experiences in recovering and moving on.

Air travel continues to be the safest mode of transport though fatal accidents do occur. When the author and his wife lost their baby on an international Jet Airways flight 229, they were heartbroken. The author recollects the birth of Aditya, the reason for international travel with the baby, details of the incident and aftermath. He attempts to make sense of the sudden death and about his drastically changed priorities. In this book, the author combines his analysis of grief, search for answers and explores the time spent in “recovering” and what really helped him move on.

A reviewer Luanne Stevenson blogs “It is unimaginable to comprehend a parent’s pain after losing a child. The struggle to move on may feel impossible, like mountain climbing in flip-flops. But Mohan K’s story reminds the reader that it is possible to move through unimaginable grief and when you reach the summit, you may be scraped and bruised from the climb, but the view from the top will take your breath away. Mohan K’s story is inspiring.”

The story weaves together inspiration and a practical approach to managing crisis and life changing events. It is ultimately about human triumph over tragedy.

5.0 out of 5 stars More More More August 3, 2012
By Pickle
I agree, this is a quick read and I admire the way the author describes the scenes without over use of adjectives and unnecessary descriptions. The horrific story,in an of itself has many compelling stories intermingled and draws
the reader in at many levels of emotion. It is direct and visual,and a story that many people of all walks of life can relate to in one way or another. Mohan has touched on a subject of our world becoming, "desensitized" and almost numb when faced with a reality such as losing a child. I feel this book just scratches the surface of underlying issues that Mohan and his wife face, as well as perhaps many other people who are going through depression for one reason or another. Perhaps people have lost a sense of compassion and feeling... or maybe it's just that they aren't equipped to help for whatever reason and therefore feel helpless

Writing about a tramatic event, such as losing a child can be cathartic. I hope this book is the first of a series. Seriously folks... 50 Shades of Grey? Come on... we can do better than that.

Thank you Mohan for sharing a story with substance and meaning. Bravo

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Touching Read!! July 29, 2012
By Don
A Child Lost in Flight is a fast read but yet a very touching read. It explains the feelings, frustrations, and hurt of losing a child that helps the reader feel the story like they were there in person. This book inspires compassion, courage and strength showing the reader how to move on after the loss of a child. I found the fact of the story interesting and I learned some disturbing facts about how life is in other cultures. I read this book in sitting unable to put it down. This book is ultimately an encouraging story with an ending I could smile at.

5.0 out of 5 stars Poignant Tale August 10, 2012
This was a wonderfully written book. Author Mohan did a beautiful job with a tender and poignant subject. You, the reader, could feel the pain and suffering - the sorrow - felt by the parents. The frustration at the "not knowing". It was a brilliant job, a powerful read, and Author Mohan should be exceedingly proud.

I'm sorry for the author's loss of his son from what appeared to be SIDS...the book was thankfully short. Any more would've been unnecessary.
