Great trekker
This refers to the sad demise of great trekker Prof. Abdul Hameed while he was on a trekking expedition with Bisco students. One day I remember asking him, “when are you saying goodbye to expeditions,” and he replied, “I gain strength from trekking to the Mahadevs and the Kolohois.” I am a 70-year-old young man, he said. He continued exploring new heights with his undying passion of trekking. He was an inspirational personality and a man of principles. May his soul rest in peace. Ameen
