00:00Hi, I'm Mishi, and I live with my dad and brother, Biku, who's two years older.
00:04Before I continue, please like and subscribe to MSA.
00:07My dad was a mountain climber, and our house was filled with trophies and awards he'd won.
00:12It was his dream that both his kids follow in his footsteps, so he started training me and Biku pretty young.
00:17I was a natural.
00:19Biku struggled a lot.
00:21Stop climbing like an old lady, Biku!
00:23Care to pace up? We don't have all day!
00:25Dad kept screaming, Biku got nervous, and slipped.
00:28Meanwhile, I absolutely nailed my first day of training.
00:32Dad was so happy, he praised me all day long.
00:35I'm gonna make you the best mountaineer the world has ever seen!
00:38What about me?
00:40What about you?
00:41A snail can climb faster than you, Biku.
00:44Being a mountaineer is not in your blood.
00:46But it was my first time climbing, and the guy in front of me kept farting in my face.
00:51I got distracted!
00:52Don't be a sour loser, big bro.
00:54Just accept that I'm better than you.
00:56Or maybe it was just dumb luck!
00:58Relax, Snappy, I was just kidding.
01:00Don't worry, when I become a famous mountaineer, I will definitely train you to be my assistant.
01:06I was joking, but Biku took it seriously and flung his shoe at my head.
01:10I ducked, and it hit Dad's trophy shelf, and everything fell to the ground.
01:15Have you gone completely crazy, Biku?
01:17It's bad enough that you're an absolute embarrassment, and now you're disrespecting my achievements?
01:22You're grounded for a week!
01:23Biku ran to his room crying, and since then, he just hated me for being Dad's favorite.
01:28Every time Dad would praise me, Biku would get angry and do crazy things.
01:33This one time, he filled my bed with sand.
01:35And another time, I opened my bag and saw a huge spider on my books.
01:39I was so scared I almost passed out.
01:42Not so tough now, are we?
01:44What's the matter with you?
01:46You know I hate spiders!
01:47And I hate you, but I'm dealing with it.
01:50That makes no sense!
01:51But Biku just grinned and left.
01:53Soon after, Dad started training me, and by 13, I was winning competitions all over town.
01:58But one day during training, Dad slipped and injured his knee.
02:01He was put on bed rest, and while I stayed up all night looking after him, Biku hardly came to see him.
02:06Instead, he skipped school, failed his classes, and started dating this girl in our school, Lila.
02:11She was my Dad's colleague's daughter, a national-level climber, and my biggest competitor.
02:16At first, I thought Biku was dating her to get back at me.
02:19But one night, while I was getting some water, I saw Biku enter Dad's room.
02:23I peeked in and saw him stealing from Dad's wallet.
02:26What are you doing?
02:27What does it look like?
02:28I need money for my date with Lila, and since Dad won't give any, I decided to take it myself.
02:34All his money belongs to me anyway.
02:36I'm his rightful heir, and you're just an extra.
02:38I'm not letting you steal!
02:40Bite me!
02:41I tried snatching the wallet, but Biku held onto it tight.
02:44We fell into a fight and went crashing into Dad's desk.
02:47He woke up, and I had no choice but to tell him the truth.
02:49Just when I think you can't embarrass me further, you go ahead and break your own record!
02:55I swear I will send you to a military school if you don't mend your ways!
02:59Biku left quietly, and we didn't talk much after that.
03:02Dad got better, and we started training for a huge national competition.
03:06And every climber in the country, including Lila, was participating.
03:10One day at practice, I was slowly making my way up the climbing wall, when I heard Lila behind me.
03:15Can you move faster?
03:17I don't want to stare at your butt all day!
03:19I'm sure you can find your way around!
03:21I can, but I don't want to.
03:23Try the wall for amateurs the next time.
03:25You're clearly too slow for this one.
03:28What's your problem?
03:29It's simple.
03:30I hate slowpokes.
03:32Lila nudged at me, and I lost my balance.
03:34I would have fallen to the ground, but my harness saved me.
03:37I was so mad at her, but I decided to get even at the competition and worked twice as hard.
03:42On the day of the competition, I felt confident, but just as I started climbing, I slipped and landed on my butt.
03:48I lost the competition, and Lila ended up winning the first prize.
03:52But that wasn't the worst part, because the next day, I was in the girls' changing room and heard Lila talking to her friends.
03:59Why are you dating that loser, Piku?
04:01He looks like a frog.
04:02Well, that frog pays for all my shopping.
04:05And he's so charmed by me.
04:07In fact, he is so blind in love that he sabotaged his own sister.
04:12Totally worked in my favor!
04:14Lila went on to say that Piku was the one who scratched the sole of my boots so I would slip and lose the competition.
04:20I quickly took out my phone, recorded the conversation, and went outside.
04:23Lila looked startled to see me.
04:25What are you doing here, loser?
04:27It's bad manners to hear other people's conversations.
04:30You're one to talk about manners, you lying witch!
04:33You've gotta come clean to the authorities about the competition, or...
04:36Or what?
04:36You're gonna hurt me, chicken legs?
04:39You're definitely asking for it.
04:40I wasn't, but I am now.
04:43Lila tugged at my hair and pushed me hard.
04:45I tried to push her away, but I slipped on something, and my head hit the lockers.
04:49And the next thing I knew, I was in the hospital with a cast around my hand and Piku standing in a corner.
04:55Hot tears filled my eyes as I got up and slapped Piku across his face.
05:00I know you ruined my boots to help your sick girlfriend, and don't you dare deny it.
05:04I have her confession on my phone.
05:06You know, Piku, I always thought that even though we fought a lot,
05:09one day you would turn around and tell me how much you love me, or that you're proud of me.
05:13But all you've ever done is hate me.
05:15Why?
05:16Because you spoiled everything.
05:18I'm the boy. I'm supposed to get all the love and affection.
05:21But I just feel invisible in my own house.
05:24That's not my fault.
05:25If you try to be better, Dad would love you too.
05:27But you keep messing everything up.
05:29That Lila doesn't even like you.
05:31She says you look like a frog, and she used you to get even with me.
05:34You're just saying that to hurt me.
05:36Lila loves me.
05:38No, she doesn't.
05:39She's a lying witch, but you're so dumb and blind that you fell for her tricks and ended up hurting your own sister.
05:44I hate you, Piku. Just get out.
05:46Piku tried talking to me, but I was too mad to respond.
05:49I told Dad everything, and he gave the recording to the authorities.
05:53Lila ended up getting expelled, and I never saw her again.
05:56The next morning, Dad spoke to his friends at the military school, and a week later, Piku was gone.
06:01I missed him, but I guess it was for the best.
06:03It took me some time to recover, but eventually, I got better and started climbing again.
06:07When I turned 18, I was chosen to represent my school at the International Camp for Young Mountaineers.
06:13On my first day, I was pretty excited until I went to my room and saw Lila.
06:18You've got to be kidding me. No way I'm sharing a room with you.
06:21Wait, Mishi. I'm sorry for what happened.
06:24I never meant to hurt you, but you did.
06:26I can never forgive you.
06:28At least give me a chance to make it up to you.
06:30It's too late.
06:31I thought I was clear with Lila, but she just got clingier.
06:34She left flowers by my bedside, brought me coffee, and left chocolates under my pillow.
06:38It was creepy, but I could see she was trying.
06:41Then one day during training, the camp instructor announced a challenge where we had to climb a huge wall.
06:46As soon as the buzzer went off, I sprang into action, and everything was going great until I saw Lila slip and hurt her ankle.
06:53She howled in pain as I rushed to help her up and sat her down on a bench.
06:57Why'd you help me?
06:59Because you were in pain. Don't think that I've forgiven you.
07:02Look, I know what I did was wrong, but I never asked Biku to ruin your boots.
07:06He did that all on his own.
07:08That's supposed to make me feel better?
07:10Biku was stealing from Dad to take you out on dates and shopping.
07:13Did you know that?
07:14No, I never asked him to do that either.
07:16Look, Mishi, what's done is done, and I'm sorry for it.
07:19We can either stay in the past and be bitter, or move on and be happier.
07:24I guess, but it can't happen overnight.
07:26I'll wait.
07:27Lila and I slowly became friends.
07:29After the camp ended, we went to training together and joined our dads on expeditions.
07:34Lila was still competitive, but it was fun having her around.
07:37But then, Lila found a boyfriend, and she was always distracted.
07:41She was bunking training sessions and hardly showed up for work.
07:44This one time, we were leading a team to one of the toughest treks, and while I explained the procedure, Lila was busy texting.
07:51Okay, so we need to use the hack hammer a lot since it's a steep climb.
07:54Lila, are you listening?
07:55Yes, yes, totally.
07:57Really?
07:58Then repeat what I said.
07:59Okay, fine, I wasn't paying attention, but we've already been through this so many times.
08:03I know what to do.
08:05No, you don't.
08:06Last week, you turned up late for an expedition, and then the week before, you almost cost us a rescue mission because you were texting in the middle of the climb.
08:13It's called multitasking.
08:15We are leading a team this time.
08:16It's a huge deal, so get your head back in the game, or I can go on my own.
08:20Fine, count me out then.
08:22Lila didn't show up for the trek the next day, and I was too busy to care.
08:26After hours of climbing, my team and I stopped at a small cafe.
08:30I was waiting for my coffee when the most gorgeous boy walked up to me.
08:33Care for some hot chocolate?
08:35It's my specialty.
08:36I love chocolate boys.
08:37I mean, I love boys who make chocolate.
08:40I love chocolate.
08:41Whatever you say.
08:42I'm Dinesh, by the way.
08:44Mishi.
08:44Dinesh and I ended up talking all evening.
08:47He was a few years older and had migrated with his family from India.
08:50He was running a cafe, but mountaineering was his real passion, and eventually, he joined us on the trek.
08:56After the trek ended, Dinesh and I asked me out for dinner, and we were sitting by the mountains when he leaned in for a kiss.
09:02But when we pulled away, he looked worried.
09:04Was that not good?
09:05It's everything I imagined, but Mishi, my parents are really orthodox and would only like me to date someone they choose.
09:12So until I talk to them first, you can't tell anyone that we're together.
09:16Promise me.
09:17I found it a little weird, but Dinesh was already looking stressed, so I agreed.
09:22We started dating officially, and things were going smoothly.
09:25But it killed me that I couldn't share this amazing news with Leela, who was still mad at me.
09:30So I decided to be the bigger person and get her dessert from Dinesh's cafe, where I found Leela making out with Dinesh.
09:36What the heck?
09:37Get away from my boyfriend.
09:39Did you hit your head somewhere?
09:40Dinesh is with me.
09:42No, he's not.
09:43We both turned to Dinesh, who looked like a deer in headlights, and then ran for his life.
09:48I don't believe this, Mishi.
09:49How could you stab me in the back after everything we've been through?
09:53I stabbed you in the back?
09:54You're the one who never told me about your secret boyfriend.
09:57And it's not the first time I've caught you lying anyways.
10:00Seriously?
10:01In that case, Dinesh asked me out first.
10:03So if anyone's at fault here, it's you.
10:06He wouldn't have had to come to me if he liked you enough.
10:08Okay, that was harsh.
10:10I take that back.
10:11Don't bother.
10:12Leela flung her bag and walked away.
10:14I followed her, apologizing, but she simply ignored me and left.
10:18I even tried calling her a million times, but she didn't answer.
10:21I felt so lost.
10:23My best friend thought I'd betrayed her, and the first boy I kissed turned out to be a snake.
10:28Just when I thought I'd hit rock bottom, I came home to Biku waiting for me in the living room.
10:32What are you doing here?
10:33It's Dad!
10:34Biku told me that a few hours back, he received a phone call that Dad and his team had gone on a rescue mission to Everest, and they were missing.
10:42It's been more than 12 hours since they last got in touch with the base team.
10:46Aren't they sending another search team?
10:48It's a very dangerous climb.
10:49No one wants to attempt it.
10:51If no one will go, then I will.
10:53Did you not hear the part about the climb being dangerous?
10:56You're not going anywhere!
10:58Stop acting like you have any control over me.
11:00You lost that right a long time back.
11:03Saying that, I grabbed my gear and left.
11:05I took a bus to the mountain rescue headquarters.
11:07I was packing up a few things when Leela walked in with Biku behind her.
11:11What is this?
11:12Some kind of lover's reunion?
11:14I heard about your dad and went home to see you.
11:16When Biku told me, you've already left for the headquarters, and now I'm coming with you.
11:21So am I!
11:22You don't know jack about climbing, Biku.
11:24I'm coming from a military school.
11:26Trust me, I can do this.
11:28It's too dangerous.
11:29Then we'll face it together.
11:30That's what friends are for.
11:32Well, Dad and dating the same guy, but who's counting?
11:35Leela and I hugged and made up, and left to look for Dad early in the morning.
11:39When we reached the base of Mount Everest, I gulped.
11:41I'd climbed cliffs before, but this was the tallest mountain in the world.
11:45It was freezing cold when we started climbing, and at one point, Leela almost slipped, but I caught her and pulled her to safety.
11:52We reached the top of the mountain, and the head was a stretch full of white snow.
11:56And then suddenly, I saw Dad waving back at me.
11:59I ran and hugged Dad tight as he told me that he and his crew were hit with bad weather and were hiding in a cave till the weather got better.
12:06They had a few minor injuries, but no one was seriously harmed, and we quickly went back to base before the weather got bad again.
12:12Biku saw us and came running.
12:14I'm so glad you're okay, Dad. There's so much I want to say, but let me start by saying sorry.
12:19Sorry for being a horrible son and brother.
12:21I guess I felt so invisible. I just wanted to get your attention somehow.
12:26And that's partially my fault.
12:28I was so focused on Mishi, I couldn't pay you the attention you deserve, and that pushed you away further.
12:33And for that, I'm sorry.
12:35And Mishi, I don't know if you'll ever forgive me, but all I can say is I will do better and earn your apology.
12:42It might take me some time, but I'm sure we can work things through.
12:46And I'm sorry for screaming at you because of a boy.
12:49You're my best friend, and I wouldn't trade that for anything.
12:52So what do you say, best friends?
12:54Fine, but no hugs.
12:55Too late!
12:56And that's when I knew that people who are meant to be in your life will always find a way back.
