00:00I was just 14 when I decided to climb Mount Everest.

00:13I'm so happy, so happy.

00:15No matter how difficult it is, you should never back down.

00:18You should be determined and follow your passion.

00:30I remember my brother had bought a smartphone at that time.

00:42I took the phone from him and searched for my name, Shivangi Pathak.

00:46Then I asked my mom why I'm not on Google.

00:50She told me that to get on Google, you have to do a lot of work.

01:00My mom told me jokingly that if you're so interested,

01:05you should also climb Mount Everest.

01:06That was the thing that stuck in my mind.

01:09After that, I decided that I want to climb Mount Everest.

01:21She taught everyone how to trust me.

01:24I had the courage and seeing my courage,

01:27my family supported me.

01:39They saw that a very young girl came here to do a basic mountaineering course.

01:44They told me that I can't do it because I'm not physically strong.

01:50I was so busy in my mission that I never focused on who was around me

01:56and what they were saying about me.

01:58I was so busy in my mission that I never focused on who was around me

02:02and what they were saying about me.

02:04I was so busy in my mission that I never focused on who was around me

02:07and what they were saying about me.

02:09I learnt one thing from sports and mountaineering.

02:12You should never be afraid of injuries.

02:14You should face them with courage.

02:28You won't believe, when I was on the top of the world,

02:31I was in pain all over my body, my back, my stomach,

02:34and my shoulders when a very heavy bag was on my shoulders

02:38which had an oxygen cylinder in it.

02:44My walkie-talkie fell off my head.

02:47It fell so low that we couldn't pick it up.

02:52When we submitted it, no one knew that I had a walkie-talkie.

02:57They didn't know if I was alive or not.

03:07I forgot all the difficulties, all the injuries,

03:11all the incidents that happened in front of me.

03:16I was only enjoying my victory.

03:27I was only enjoying my victory.

03:52Whenever I went on an expedition,

03:55I used to think that I'm not weak, I'm fit.

03:59It's not an option for me.

04:01It never was, it never will be.

04:03Never.
