Write down the significance of the following in the context of 'On to the Summit': Red Scarf.
उत्तर
The red scarf was a gift to Tenzing by his good friend Lambert who was the leader of the Swiss Expedition of 1952. It was just a year ago, on May 28th, when they were standing at 28,215 feet,that he gave Tenzing the scarf and now he was all nostalgic reminiscing about his friend. This scarf reminded Tenzing of their successful mission, a year ago and rejuvenated him to feel fit, energetic, and excited for the completion of another mission and it also shows a great sense of companionship.
