I just read that an 85-year old British woman is all set to climb Mount Everest with her little dachshund Daisy. I was a bit astonished after reading this. But what I read ahead was something that made me say ‘it’s just suicidal’.



Mary Woodbridge is making things tough for herself. She’s planning to reach the summit without any sherpas plus she’s gonna take a new route and topping it all is her decision of not taking additional oxygen cylinders. Now this is something really childish.



She is getting trained to face the ordeal, you can get the details of her training on her website. When asked about the reason that goes behind such a challenge at her age was simply that ‘You always have to set yourselves new challenges.’



With due respect to the 85 year old lady’s courage I would like to say that its not the correct way to get famous and moreover yours is not the age to take such risks...you never know you might not be there in this world to experience fame once you get down.



Still if the lady has made up her mind, I would only wish her all the best and ‘Khuda Hafiz’...and this means ‘may God protect you!’
