In a first of it's kind six boys aged between the ages of 16 and 17 from the elite Lawrence School in Sanawar and their mentors have achieved the notable distinction of becoming the first school team to scale the majestic Mount Everest thereby adding another feather into our motherland's brimming cap.......
The composite team managed to set foot on the highest peak on earth after braving an arduous hectic, heart rending, sometimes anti-climatic yet heady and exhilirating 56 day ordeal; as one of the elated team members says "every minute spent in excruciating pain and increasing periods of self doubt was worth it as we doggedly fought through it all and ultimately accomplished what we set out to do".........
In their own words, "the ascent to the summit was anything but easy, we had to undergo a rigorous, tiring and gruelling year long mountaineering course at more than one institute, we did try our utmost to scale the Khardung La Pass in Ladakh during the month of January but had to give up our pursuit of the same as the inclement weather proved to be too much of an insurmountable obstacle even for us doughty souls"........
This gang of brave boys gives the credit of their achievement to the thousands of prayers selflessly sent up by their parents and numerous well wishers who spent many a sleepless night while worrying about their safety and well being........
"Never give in-in letter and spirit", 'is our beloved school's credo, and we are indeed proud of the fact that we succeeded in living up to our alma mater's credo and did our bit towards embellish it's already sterling reputation they echo'...........
Their indomitable spirit and their never say die attitude does force one's hand into reiterating the cliche that there ain't no mountain high enough or valley low enough that will not yield before their dedication to their avowed cause of etching India's name on all the highest peaks of the world.........
Here's wishing them regular, continuous and renewed success in every future endeavour they undertake..........
