An open letter to Dr Dobhal

Dear Dr Dobhal
Greetings!
You would recall our meeting on the foothills of Neelkanth near Kedarnath In Jun 2005. I was on my way back from Gandhi Sarovar and accidentally stumbled upon your tent. You had helped me with food and shelter without even knowing me.
I apologise that I could not stay in touch with you after that meeting but I still remember your help that night that saved me a lot of discomfort if not any major physical harm.
I also saw one of your interviews in television once regarding your work on the study of glaciers and I am writing this mail to congratulate you for being chosen by TIME magazine as one of the select 100 people in the world doing good work on environment. I felt really happy both for you and for the Himalayas that are facing dangers that the world doesn’t know much about.
I ultimately did not join (ATI) Appropriate Technology India at Ukhimath that time and am still working with "Seva Mandir " an Udaipur based NGO working for tribals.
I am also trying to contribute in my own small way to the environment and I salute you for your work. I hope we shall stay in touch from now onwards.
Regards
