Sudeb Hazra, 44, is waiting outside a north Kolkata nursing home. The visiting hours are over, he will head out to have lunch at a nearby eatery. For 12 hours, Sudeb has not budged from the reception area of the nursing home. Every half-hour, he approaches the reception, enquiring about his wife Sunita’s health.
Sunita, 42, who was a part of the tragic Everest expedition of May 20, was flown into the city on Saturday evening. “She is out of danger but the doctors aren’t sure when will she be discharged. The frost bite was particularly severe,” says Sudeb, who runs a mountaineering equipment store in south Kolkata.
This season, 11 mountaineers from West Bengal tried to reach the world’s highest peak. While eight of them were successful, the rest could not make it due to adverse weather conditions.
Sunita, an assistant health officer of Duttanagar, was one of the lucky survivors. She was part of a team of four climbers who started on an expedition to summit the Everest on May 20. While Subhash Pal was successful, he perished on his way back to Base Camp No. 2. Sunita was rescued by the Himalayan Rescue Association and airlifted from the Everest base camp to Kathmandu, where was treated before being brought back to Kolkata.
“We have been saving for years. Sunita took loans to make this happen. She took up a nurse’s job to save money for her mountaineering trips. It is her enduring passion,” says Sudeb.
They don't lose hope though. The Hazras continues to dream about a second round on the world's highest peak.
