So not just him but the other five Nepalese mountaineers who’ve lost their lives, I sincerely want to pay my condolences to the people of Nepal, to all the people who looked up to him. So I really don’t want to make it very somber but because I was a huge fan of him, like most of us are, and we are here in Kathmandu, his hometown, so I don’t think we can proceed without paying condolences to the people of Nepal because he was the true son of the soil who took Nepal to the world and yeah, my heartfelt, condolences.”
