| From Tea stall ro Mt Everest: Meghalaya’s Rifiness Warjri Aims for seven Summits | | |
Shillong, July 16: From serving tea and noodles at a roadside stall to dreaming of summiting the highest peaks across all seven continents, Meghalaya’s Rifiness Warjri is charting a path of grit and grace.
The 20-year-old mountaineer recently etched her name in history as the youngest person from the state to conquer Mount Everest. But even with this extraordinary feat, Rifiness remains deeply rooted in her humble beginnings.
In an interview with PTI, Rifiness stood proud, yet grounded, as she shared her dreams of scaling the tallest mountains on every continent.
Her journey has captured the hearts of many — not just for her physical endurance and mental strength but also for the humility and warmth she continues to carry.
Eyeing the prestigious seven summits challenge, Rifiness hopes her path will inspire countless other women from struggling working-class families in small towns and marginalised communities to chase big dreams.
Born in Nongthymmai but now residing in Laitkor area of East Khasi Hills district on the outskirts of Shillong, Rifiness comes from a modest, hardworking family. Her mother runs a small roadside tea stall while her father sells chicken to support the family.
Despite the national and international recognition she now receives, Rifiness is still often seen helping out at the family stall, wiping tables, serving tea, and chatting with customers, just as she always did.
“It’s my home. My roots keep me grounded… the mountains teach us humility. (PTI) |
