Books sometimes enter our lives in the most unexpected ways. For me, What’s Your Everest did not come from a deliberate choice but through a beautiful coincidence of friendship and affection. Samir Patham—whom we know as Sam, one of the authors—is a dear friend of my daughter Maitreyee. On 2nd August, our wedding anniversary, we planned a family lunch at a restaurant. But Maitru (Maitreyee) asked us to collect her from a book library where she was attending the book release of Sam and Sauraj’s book.
