Okay. So everyone take a risk in their line. Sometimes they realize they are taking a risk and sometimes they don’t even realize that they are taking a risk. One of the most memorable risks I took was the snow tracking in Manali. And I consider it as a risk because I have a respiratory problem. In my body and that sometimes required the use of the inhaler or pump so that I was particularly concerned about the how high altitude and adventure activity might increase my breathing issues. Despite these concerns, I decided to go on a track. And before this trip, I prepared myself thoroughly by, uh, consulting with my doctor. And, uh, they said that he suggested me some medications, and I armed with medicines and pump on the trip, as well as I I was doing some physical exercise to build up my stamina. As the track began, I was nervous. The initial climb was challenging, and I could feel the strain on my lungs. So that I took it slow and, uh, focusing on my breathing and taking a freak 1 breaks. Surprisingly, my breathing becomes steadier as I adjusted at the altitude, and I did not need to use any pump. The higher we climb, the more confident I became. So this experience taught me the importance of not letting fear dictate my actions. I could overcome challenges once I thought it is impossible. Moreover, this risk not only help to help me in completing my track. Apart from this, it boost my confidence and encouraging me to take on new adventure. And as a result, today I’m a official track leader of Manali’s note tracking.
