{"product_id":"a-fire-over-mount-everest","title":"A Fire over Mount Everest","description":"\u003cp\u003eDespite over 1500 ascents, the mystique of Everest remains an enduring force, captivating some as an obsession, others as a business, and many as an inspiration or a siren song. For a select few, it becomes a curse. One is never indifferent to Everest; it either makes you or breaks you. This book delves into India’s 1984 Expedition to Mount Everest, organized by the Indian Mountaineering Foundation (IMF), which famously placed Bachendri Pal, the first Indian woman, and four others on the summit. Beyond the historical achievement, it uncovers the untold, behind-the-scenes stories of triumph, loss, and the raw human drama that unfolded on the world’s highest peak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhy You Should Read?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGain an intimate understanding of the challenges and triumphs faced during India's historic 1984 Everest expedition, beyond the official records.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplore the complex relationship between humans and Mount Everest, revealing how the mountain shapes those who dare to climb it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscover the unseen struggles, jealousies, and environmental concerns surrounding Everest, as documented by a dedicated film crew.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExperience the raw emotions and profound insights of an incredible moment etched in the memory of the author, a moment few live to tell.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSiddharth Kak\u003c\/strong\u003e is a noted filmmaker and television presenter who, along with his crew, meticulously documented India's 1984 Everest expedition.
