I had met Bhawna during an event where she narrated her life story from how she dreamt of scaling the highest mountain peak Mt Everest in childhood and despite facing many hardships she accomplished it successfully. I love mountains since school and before entering into civil aviation I also thought of climbing a mountain and this is how I am going to accomplish my dream.”
