Gifting my book ‘Diary, Deceit, and Death’ to my school junior and a famous mountaineer
What an absolute delight to bump into my junior from school, Satyarup Siddhanta! This world-record holder mountaineer is an inspiration to the future generation and a force to reckon with.
Meeting Satyarup after 27 years
I couldn’t have been happier while gifting him a copy of my new book ‘Diary, Deceit, and Death.’ Hope you enjoy reading it and here’s wishing that we meet again very soon.
