प्रश्न
Write down the significance of the following in the context of 'On to the Summit': Kerosene flavoured tea.
उत्तर
- After their historic conquer of Everest, the author and Hillary met other teammates on their way down, with whom they shared the news of their victory.
- As they got nearer to Camp Eight, one of the teammates, Noyce, brought them tea.
- Mountaineers often use kerosene stoves for cooking which leaves the smell of the fuel in the food.
- The tea was thus kerosene flavoured because Noyce had made in a hurry on the stove. This shows his excitement and eagerness to meet the author and Hillary and congratulate them on their success.
- In spite of the unpleasant smell of the tea, the author drinks it, which highlights his acknowledgment of the efforts of his friend and the bond of their friendship. It also shows that the author was too happy to worry about the taste of the tea.
