Ke asche?(Who is coming) asked a curious spectator
Everest Heroes!! I replied .
The first person who came out from exit door was Mr Basant Singh Roy on a wheel chair followed by Inspector Ujjal Ray, Tusi and then Chhanda Gayen and Monideepa dutta.
It was hard time for officers on duty at Airport to manage huge crowds of media and spectators.
Durga Da , Anjan Da, Seema Di, Nabi, Ezaj, Abbas, Ravi, Prahlad, Sujit, Umme Anupam and myself all from "The Institute of Exploration" waiting with bouquet outside of arrival gate from 4.00 PM to see and welcome our beloved Chhanda along with other Everester.
