An obsession for some, a business for the others, an inspiration for many, a siren song for most and for a few, simply a curse. One is never indifferent to Everest. It makes you or breaks you. India's 1984 Expedition to Mount Everest, organized by the Indian Mountaineering Foundation (IMF), succeeded in placing Bachendri Pal, the first Indian woman and the fifth in the world, and four others, on the summit.
