@Tejashyy The woman can move to Palestine and work there, she is in bubble here. She should feel the Palestine life. The chap is wearing nose ring like some temperamental bulls put.
BEFORE SLEEPING... KNOW THIS...
He was so poor that he couldn't afford to learn the art he loved. So every evening, he secretly watched rehearsals from a distance... and after everyone left, he practised alone, repeating every dialogue, every movement, and every musical note from memory.
His name is Simanchal Patra from Odisha. As a young boy, he herded goats just to earn one meal a day. Yet he went on to master the rare Prahlada Nataka, performing for up to 24 hours at a stretch and training hundreds of artists. To keep the dying art alive, he even sacrificed his ancestral property.
This year, at the age of 98, Simanchal Patra walked into Rashtrapati Bhavan to receive the Padma Shri.
@Ameer_wael07 This is what decades of bad leadership has done. Why doesnt Egypt allow you in? Saudi, Kuwait.... all need foreign workers why not Arabic speaking Palestinian?
@pervinsanghvi Construction and demolition generates all kinds of wealth. Clean lungs doesn't. Our Govt or the previous ones understand money and it's the truth of Mumbai. They stay in green tree lined spaces, voters in concrete dust. Visit BKC and see even the rich isn't spared
@sumanthraman And in the same context Communist China doesn't have activists opposing everything, they don't have court cases. Let send some there and see how many survive a year
@Nilaakash83@RakeshK32229480 And the contractir was never given another contract ever! 12 wheeler trucks parked perpendicular, illegal godown and a blind administration while we burn millions in fuel
@InfraholicR@RakeshK32229480 Mumbai has atrocious road surface and extreme inconvenience in BMC and Mum Traffic Police. Untrained. Pune even worse. I Don think police receive training
On May 24, 1998, nearly 27,000 feet above sea level, two climbers discovered a woman lying motionless against the frozen slopes of Mount Everest. Her face was pale, her hands severely frostbitten, and her body barely responded to the bitter cold. At first, they thought she was dead.
Then she moved.
As British climber Ian Woodall approached, the woman opened her eyes and whispered words he would never forget.
“Please, don’t leave me.”
Her name was Francys Arsentiev.
She was forty years old.
And just two days earlier, she had achieved one of mountaineering’s most extraordinary accomplishments.
She had become the first American woman to summit Everest without supplemental oxygen.
But now, she was dying on the mountain she had dreamed of conquering.
Francys was born in Hawaii in 1958 and grew up in Colorado.
Her father introduced her to mountaineering when she was young, inspiring a fascination that would shape her life.
She studied business, earned a master’s degree, and worked as an accountant.
Then she met Sergei Arsentiev.
Sergei was an accomplished Russian mountaineer known as the Snow Leopard, a title earned by climbing the highest peaks of the former Soviet Union.
They shared an intense love of mountains.
In 1992, they married.
Together, they climbed challenging peaks, including Denali and Mount Elbrus.
Francys became the first American woman to ski down Elbrus.
But one ambition remained.
Everest.
She wanted to reach its summit without bottled oxygen.
It was an extraordinarily dangerous goal.
Above 26,000 feet lies the region climbers call the death zone.
There, the atmosphere contains so little oxygen that the human body begins deteriorating.
Thinking becomes difficult.
Movement becomes exhausting.
And even simple decisions can become fatal.
In May 1998, Francys and Sergei began their final ascent from Everest’s northern side.
They traveled without Sherpa assistance, a support team, or supplemental oxygen.
After two unsuccessful summit attempts, they tried again on May 22.
This time, they succeeded.
Francys stood on the world’s highest mountain.
Her dream had become reality.
But reaching the summit was only half the journey.
And they had arrived dangerously late.
As darkness approached, the exhausted couple struggled to descend.
They were forced to spend another night high on the mountain, exposed to temperatures around minus thirty degrees Celsius.
Somewhere in the darkness, they became separated.
Sergei eventually reached their high camp.
Francys did not.
He waited.
But when she failed to appear, he made a desperate decision.
He gathered oxygen and medicine and climbed back toward the summit to find his wife.
He knew the danger.
He went anyway.
It was the last time anyone saw him alive.
Meanwhile, an Uzbek climbing team discovered Francys struggling near 27,000 feet.
She was barely able to stand.
Her face and hands were frozen.
She was exhausted, confused, and dangerously weak.
The climbers tried to help.
They gave her oxygen.
Attempted to warm her limbs.
And struggled to move her downhill.
But carrying another person at that altitude requires strength the human body can barely produce.
Their oxygen supplies were running low.
Eventually, they faced an unbearable decision.
Remain and risk dying beside her.
Or descend while they still could.
They left Francys secured to the climbing rope.
On their descent, they encountered Sergei heading upward.
He was searching for his wife.
The following morning, Ian Woodall and Cathy O’Dowd found Francys still alive.
Sergei’s equipment lay nearby.
He had apparently reached her, but something had gone terribly wrong.
Woodall and O’Dowd abandoned their summit attempt immediately.
For more than an hour, they tried to save her.
They offered oxygen.
Spoke reassuringly.
And attempted to lift her from the snow.
But Francys was almost completely helpless.
Her body seemed frozen into the mountain itself.
She begged them not to leave.
“Please, don’t leave me alone.”
Those words pierced through the cold.
They wanted desperately to rescue her.
But their own oxygen was disappearing.
They could not carry her.
And remaining much longer would likely kill them too.
Eventually, they had to walk away.
Francys Arsentiev died on Everest, alone in the snow.
She had reached the summit without oxygen.
But she never returned home.
In 1999, climber Jake Norton discovered Sergei’s body lower on the mountain.
He had fallen while attempting to rescue his wife.
Their eleven-year-old son, Paul, was left without either parent.
For nine years, Francys remained visible beside Everest’s climbing route.
The freezing temperatures preserved her body.
Climbers passing through began calling her Sleeping Beauty.
She became a haunting landmark.
A reminder that reaching the summit means nothing if you cannot survive the descent.
But Ian Woodall never forgot the woman who had begged him to stay.
In 2007, he returned to Everest for a different mission.
Not to reach the summit.
But to restore her dignity.
He located Francys’s remains, wrapped her in an American flag, and moved her away from the main climbing route.
At last, she could rest beyond the gaze of passing climbers.
Everest has claimed hundreds of lives.
Many remain frozen where they fell.
But Francys Arsentiev’s story carries a particularly heartbreaking lesson.
She achieved her greatest dream.
Her husband sacrificed his life trying to bring her home.
And strangers risked their own survival attempting to save her.
Yet none of it could overcome the brutal conditions of the death zone.
The mountain offered no mercy.
Not for ambition.
Not for courage.
Not even for love.
And nearly three decades later, four simple words still capture the tragedy of the woman remembered as Sleeping Beauty.
“Please, don’t leave me.”

@Nobleindian1990 There r consequences of every act. The community demanded partition, took more land than the population, their rich cousins left, then decided to stay back and refuse reforms, become more insular. Learn from the parsis and bohris how to succeed
