The Tale of Sandeep Saini and His World\u2019s Highest Expedition for Mental Health Awareness <\/strong><\/p>\n

If there is one thing that is prevalent in almost all societies, then it would certainly be the taboo associated with mental health.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is some (Sort of) pride in getting the hand fractured and showing it off to the friends (At least during childhood). Some people post pictures, after a major accident, on social media, again with pride. We can even find pride after getting beaten up in a fight, but not when life beats us up. There is no pride in the state of being hopeless, depressed, defeated, or mauled emotionally.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once in a while, a rare event happens where someone comes out and speaks about how lonely they feel in life or how sad everything is for them. At least during a physical tragedy, the first thing that comes to mind is contacting the doctor. Obvious, right? But not so obvious when the injury is internal. People ridicule and make fun of anything that isn\u2019t naked to the eyes. No one cares about the emotional gashes, not even the victim\u2019s own family members.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is during times like these when heroes arise, and here we are talking about one such man, Mr. Sandeep Saini.<\/span><\/p>\n

A New Birth<\/b><\/h2>\n

He was born in Fatehpur, Sikar and brought up in Jaipur. After doing BCA, he finally asked himself what he wanted to do in life. His zeal for exploration and warmth in his heart led to life about which even he never thought about. Mountaineering!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He incepted his own adventure planning agency named Blue Monkeys and took a certification in the same field. But something was missing in his life, and it was then when he participated in the Marathon for Mental Awareness in Jaipur organised by Mindroot on the 6th of October, 2019. That was the beginning of his splendid journey with us. He volunteered for almost every single event organised by Mindroot after that and actively participated in them. He also didn\u2019t leave a single stone unturned in spreading the message and vision of our platform.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Milestone(s)<\/b><\/h2>\n

A true explorer\u2019s journey never ends, and he continues to run in the path that looks impossible to the rest. Sandeep desired to do something that no one in India even thought about doing before him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Until now, the highest expedition for Mental Health Awareness was for Mount Kilimanjaro, which is approx. 5,895 metres above sea level. Sandeep wanted to spread the message on a higher scale, and he decided to aim for Kang Yatse 2 in Ladakh, which is approx. 6,270 metres above sea level. He aims to represent Mindroot and its vision and reach the apex on the 10th of October this year on World Mental Health Day.<\/span><\/p>\n
