When you travel, you meet several people.
All are interesting in one way or another. I am travelling from past several
years, met many people and it was truly a learning experience. As the trend
goes, in very early stages of my seven days road trip, I met a guy who I felt
was the hero of this real world. Well, I am calling him hero because of his
character and deeds. I met Major Ranveer Singh Jamwal.

Major Ranveer Singh Jamwal comes from a
village background. He is from Badhori a small village in Samba district, Jammu
and Kashmir. He started his career in Indian Army as a recruit. But as it is
said, you can’t stop a true leader to emerge out from lakhs of people. Major
Ranveer Singh Jamwal cleared service selection board for Army Cadet College,
and graduated from there. Followed by Army Cadet College, he got inducted in
Indian Military Academy and became commissioned officer after four years of rigorous
training. Now, the training has made this man a true warrior. He was an
appointment during his training at IMA. Major Ranveer Singh Jamwal was Junior
Under Officer Ranveer Singh Jamwal in his final term at Indian Military
Academy.
Major Ranveer Singh Jamwal has a never
dying love for adventure. He is an active mountaineer from past nine years. In
past nine years he has conquered more than twenty mountain peaks in India and
in other countries. He is the first person from Kashmir who has conquered
Everest twice in a shocking time of less than twelve months. Other than Everest,
he has climbed highest peak of Africa which is Kilimanjaro and highest peak of
South America which is Aconcagua. Also, he climbed two peaks in Switzerland. He
is a proud recipient of Tensing Norgay National adventure award.
After knowing all these things, I was
excited that I was standing with a real life hero. I noticed that in one of his
hand, his ring finger was missing. I asked him that how this happened. With a
smile on his face, he replied that the 2nd time when he climbed
mount Everest, his hand was frozen and accidentally his hand with a swing hit a
solid thing due to which his finger fell down like a leaf falling down from the
tree. Narrating this incident, there was no regret in his voice. He is one
happy man, who enjoys what he is doing.
I felt proud that I met Major Ranveer Singh
Jamwal. Sir, you are a great inspiration for many of us. I hope you keep
pursuing your dreams in style.
