Tribute to Sir Edmund Hillary



Sir Edmund Hillary (1919-2008)
I know not much about him, cept for the fact that he was a New Zealander and the first ever man to climb Everest. but today, i guess, he is at ever rest. I respect him, for the humanitarian efforts he had made but most of all for being the first to scale the highest peak of the world. Being fearful of heights as i always am, i could not climb up more than say 7 stories( where my house is) and be not afraid when i look down, and to be able to scale such heights is thus a very respectable feat for me.

And thus i dedicate this post to him.. for a hero.. for one who could say he has been to the top of the world without feeling ashamed about it.
