PEACE IN THOSE MOUNTAINS

Image
Dedicated to our guide Pushkar Singh who led us through the Roopkund expedition. He recently passed away trying to save a trekker who slipped on the trail. The news saddened us immensely and reminded us of our own trek. Pushkar hand-held us through tough stretches after we slipped on the trail ourselves. May your soul rest in Peace in those beautiful mountains, brother. Edit(on 20th September): After a phone call recently, we got to know that Pushkar is alive. This was great news for us. The Roopkund memory shall still remain a sweet one. :) In the midst of those cold windy paths, Lies a valley surrounded by those beautiful clouds The clouds sweep around the valley pouring down rain, When they do move away, they bring in the bright sunlight The paths I walk are long and arduous, They ought to be for they lead to harsh terrains, Beyond these terrains lie the lands of extreme beauty, The view shall more than make up for the hardship, I hope I take one step
