Saifee expedition, October 1999
The only shot in which I make an appearance. Paresh volunteered to shoot
this photo, and I'm glad he did, because I
don't really have any proof of me being a part of the expedition. Andy
and I stand outside the tent which witnessed many a radical chess sessions.
Andy always beat me when I tried to play a normal game, but got thrown
off guard when I started playing differently. But I still remember Andy
salvaging an almost lost game against me and Harshad in the Bhojbasa camp.
I had carried a small magnetic chess board, and a board which had Ludo,
Snakes and Ladders and Race to finish on the same board. For Rs. 12 that
was not a bad deal at all and came in very handy at the summit camp.
