It was my father who was the secret behind my dream to come to Africa. His ‘Free-time stories’ about Africa gave birth to a dream for me to pursue. After three decades of dreaming I was able to reach Africa as a diplomat that was the point where the long lasted dream became a reality. When I reached Africa, the continent was not the same, not same as what I heard of. it had been transformed to a significant extent, simply many things were no like how they were described in ‘free-time stories’ but my father had already left this world by that time, I did not have a chance to tell him how his ‘free-time stories’ had brought me to Africa and how different Africa is, hence I thought of documenting the the journey of my dream in the continent of darkness, that was in reality a pursuit of ‘footprints’ in ‘obscurity’.

Hello Mr. Rupasinghe, I hope you are well. I was looking through your collection of publications, congratulations on all of your successes. I wanted to ask if, for the cover of your publication "Magpie", you could credit the artist for the image used? It is one of my own designs. Also know what the image was used on a german publication known as Die Gesichtslosen, and they may get confused. Thank you for your time.

How did you get a very deep understanding about West African life style and society during a very short time? When I read Behind the Eclipse, I realize that you have tried to think completely different from who you are, for example you are from Asia, from a Buddhist background, reserved society but you succeeds to bring the African traditions and life style to the surface. What skills helped you in it?
