I have not been to the moon, but I do intend to go, and I think I shall be able to, before I climb the final Everest of life. At a private lunch with just the two of us, I asked Hillary the usual question: "Did you step on Everest first? Hillary dismissed such petty attempts to prove the white man’s superiority with contempt. The resilient Hillary recovered, and continued with his service to mankind.

Others tried to show, that it was all a Hillary effort, and he had pulled Tenzing up the now famous Hillary step, and walked him the last few yards to the top. This was the greatness of Hillary and Tenzing. Tenzing was a dedicated instructor. I met Tenzing in Delhi many times before he died - I knew him as a friend. At Thoise I met our Air-Force boys, braver patriots I have not known. Despite his aversion, Patel reluctantly met Khan and discussed the matter. Despite the sun beating down on us, there was a nip in the air that provided some relief as we worked our way up.

My autumn-age memories are of a walk from Keylong to Manali in the winter, over the Rohtang pass, with the locals, in 1962. Even today, the mountains sustain me and mine. There is plenty of green in the side valleys that emerge into the main one, but the mountains also are not embarrassed to bare themselves, in all their colours, every shade of brown and khaki, ochre lilac, saleti1 and more. The Shyok and Nubra river valleys are so huge, and on such a scale of mountains and riverbeds that no photograph does justice to what the eye sees.

The neck acted as a bottle neck or a check-point for the blood vessels, analogous to natural or man-made dams on rivers carrying water to the sea, and also nerves that carry information from different chakras - where they believably are stored - to the head only if these were finally approved by the essence of earth at Ajna chakra at the level of the eye-brow or the ‘third eye’ of Shiva.
