Brilliant report on your achievements, I couldn’t think that people took such risks to view snow covered rocks. At least when I was at the school in 1945 the only things I managed was the marathon down hill back to the junior school and winning the boxing prize which were both very trivial achievements, your efforts were miraculous by comparison.
Congratulations Sandeep Mansukhani .May you take on Mt’ Everest next. My good wishes with you.
Congratulations on yet another great achievement Sandeep!
