All sporting activities are essentially physical game and mountaineering is one of them.I call it ultimate because those who perform inhumane tasks by fighting all odds of environment to reach the summit are the one to be called heros.Our Indian Army becomes the first to reach Mt. Everest every year when its climbing season opens.ITBP too takes part in Everest climbing and if one closely follows the account of their epic journey,they are bound to salute these heros,not just for being on the top of the world but for having the acumen to endure all fatal bearings that they overcome.
Everest is not just a mountain but it's a pinnacle of success,a mesmerizing surprise to all those who has gone to conquer it.In their own words,Everest never forgives impatience,ignorance and arrogance.When mountaineers reach at its feet just before they start their onward journey,they are given a special 2 months training,to acclimatize themselves,because they are about to enter "death zone" for their summit bid.So many mountaineers have died on their way up,many on their way down but their names have been written in history of climbing Everest because they did push themselves beyond death to achieve their success.
When I read about our Prime Minister's plan of task force to train our Olympians for next time,I cannot stop thinking about our Indian Army and ITBP people because they are no less than miracles.I would like to request our " Pradhan Sevak" to lessen their burden with care,keep them engaged in bringing victory to their motherland,not by using them against baffled region but giving them opportunity by signing them into our next Olympic team and any other international sporting events that they can once again glorify our country.
