Mountaineering 101

Planning the ascent is crucial - reading about it is key!




Sometimes, even reading a lot doesn't help, you STILL start climbing from the wrong side!




But, once you are on the correct slope, the sky is the limit!




Get you climbing partner to help. It also minimised the monotony. Progress!




And finally - success! Dudes, the view from up here is breast taking! Did I say breast? Well, I am the youngest mountaineer ever so what can I say!

I am NOT amused. Don't look at me!




All one - YEEHAA!!

For Your Children - a poem by Khalil Gibran

Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you.
And though they are with you, they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts.
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
Which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite.
And He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hands be for happiness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
So He loves the bow that is stable.
