Sir Edmund Hillary, along with Sherpa Norgay Tensingh, was the first man to conquer Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world.
Sir Edmund Percival Hillary, KG, ONZ, KBE (July 20, 1919 – January 11, 2008) was a New Zealand mountaineer and explorer. On 29 May 1953 at the age of 33, he and Sherpa mountaineer Tenzing Norgay became the first climbers known to have reached the summit of Mount Everest.
Sir Edmund spent a major part of his life trying to uplift the lot of the Sherpas of the region. At his death, he is mourned by them as much
as by the rest of the world.
A great man, a true swashbuckler who life attained the loftiest peaks. I think this Sher captures his spirit.
कहिये तो आस्मान को ज़मीन पर उतार लायें
मुश्किल नहीं है कुछ भी अगर ठान लीजिये
-शहरयार
kahiye to aasmaan ko zamiin par utaar laayen
mushkil nahiin hai kuchh bhii agar thaan liijiye
-Shahryar
If you want, I can bring the sky to the ground
Nothing is difficult if you make up your mind
