2025 : A Year of Courage, Change & Gratitude 2025 began quietly,with one honest thought to walk my own path, to build, to explore, to trust change. With that courage, @gaganhallur and I gave form to a dream and registered @climbingene_ our trekking and high-altitude expedition company. After eight meaningful years in cancer research, I stepped away from a profession that shaped my discipline and purpose.I served Aurigene till March, and it was the steady support of Gagan and my family that gave me the strength to leap when letting go felt heavy. Spring carried me back to the mountains leading teams to Everest Base Camp,where every step reminded me why the climb matters. Life then opened another door. I returned to our school as an Administrator,learning leadership from the ground up,while also teaching science, giving back to the place that once shaped me. August brought shared triumph guiding four climbers up Mount Elbrus,standing together on the summit,proof that success is always sweeter when shared. In between journeys,I found my voice beyond the mountains six motivational talks with leading corporate teams, sharing lessons of resilience, teamwork, and purpose drawn straight from thin air and long climbs. September tested every belief I held. I committed to Manaslu and on 22nd September 2025, stood on its summit :silent, grateful, humbled. November, our birthday month,brought an unexpected honor the IMF Gold Medal from the Indian Mountaineering Foundation,a recognition that belongs to every mentor, teammate,and unseen supporter behind the journey. And as the year softened into winter, December welcomed yet another beginning Gagan and I opened KIGA Ice Cream Parlour in Bangalore, a reminder that joy, like dreams, comes in many flavors. 2025 taught me that the growth lives where fear once stood, and life rewards those willing to begin again. Deeply grateful for the mountains, the people, the lessons, and the courage to explore new paths. Thank you 2025 Wishing you all Happy New Year 🥳
