Ali ndi zaka 16, Shivangi Pathak adakhala msungwana womaliza waku India kukwera Mt Everest. Tsiku limene anapeza kuti kukwera mapiri kunalidi maseŵera osati chabe zinthu zongochitika kumene, iye anadziŵa zimene ayenera kuchita. Pachimake choyamba chimene ndinkafuna kukwera chinali Mt Everest, akumwetulira Pathak, ndikukwera kumene.
Mu 2016, Pathak adayamba maphunziro okwera mapiri, ndipo atadziwa kuti wakonzeka kukwera nsonga yapamwamba kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi, sanataye nthawi ndipo nthawi yomweyo adayamba ulendo wake.

Ndikumva ngati ndapeza chinthu chodabwitsa, akutero.
Ndiye anaphunzira bwanji kukwera kotopetsa kumeneku? Ndinali wonenepa pang’ono, chotero chinthu choyamba chimene ndinafunikira kuchita chinali kuonda. Ndinayamba kuchita masewera olimbitsa thupi, omwe akupitirirabe ngakhale lero; Ndimathamanga pafupifupi 10 km tsiku lililonse. Ndimakweza zolemera ndikuchita 5,000 reps pa chingwe chodumpha, akutero Pathak.
Tangoganizani, ndili ndi zaka 16, kusiya zakudya zopanda thanzi ndi zakumwa zozizilitsa kukhosi kuti mukhale ndi zakudya zomwe zimakhala ndi ma pulses ndi paneer. Chabwino, Pathak anachita izo ndi zina. Popeza ndine wosadya zamasamba, ndiyenera kuphatikizirapo ma pulse, paneer, ndi bowa m’zakudya zanga. Sindidya rotis, ndipo ndilibe chakudya chamadzulo.

Kukweza nsonga ngati Mt Everest sizosangalatsa komanso masewera, ndikudutsa m'mabvuto ambiri kuti mufike pachimake. Kwa ine, vuto lalikulu linali kupanga zisankho mwachangu. Sherpa wanga sanachite chilichonse popanda kundifunsa. Mwachitsanzo, ankandifunsa ngati tiime kaye tsikulo kapena tizipitabe. Nthawi zina, sindimadziwa kuti chisankho choyenera chinali chiyani. M'malingaliro, nawonso, zinali zolimba, chifukwa timakhala masiku ambiri osalumikizana ndi dziko, Pathak akukumbukira.
Kwa Pathak, atakwera Mt Kilimanjaro ndi Mt Elbrus posachedwapa, Everest akadali ulendo wowopsa kwambiri. Nthawi zambiri ankangotsekeredwa m’ming’alu ndipo ankafunika kupulumutsidwa. Tsiku lina, tikuyesa kuthyola madzi oundana kuti tipeze madzi, tinafukula dzanja…Ndinazindikira chomwe mantha enieni anali nditawona. Nthawi ina, ndikukankhira pamisonkhano, ndinataya walkie-talkie wanga ndipo sindinathe kulumikizana ndi aliyense. Munthu wina anafalitsa mphekesera kuti ndinafera m’njira; Nkhaniyi inafika ngakhale kwa makolo anga, akutero mnyamata wokwera mapiri.
Zonse zomwe zanenedwa ndikuchita, Pathak akuti kukwera Everest kunali kopitilira muyeso. Nditangofika pamwamba, ndinangofuna kuwakumbatira mayi anga. Nditatsika, ndidawona atolankhani akudikirira kuti alankhule nane kumisasa, ndipo zonse zidandikhudza, akutero. Miyezi ingapo atakwera Everest, Pathak adakwera Kilimanjaro m'maola 34, akuphwanya mbiri ya wokwera mapiri wina yemwe adatenga maola 54 kuti akafike pamwamba. Adapitilira kukula kwa Mt Elbrus mu Seputembala chaka chino. Maloto ake tsopano ndikukweza mbendera yaku India pamisonkhano isanu ndi iwiri yapadziko lonse lapansi. Ndipo ndi chilakolako chake, chikhumbo chake, ndi chithandizo cha makolo ake, palibe phiri lalitali loti limuletse.
