I met him at Move n Pick Hotel, and honestly, he is one of the most amazing and brave personalities I’ve come across. His way of talking and his depth of knowledge are truly impressive. I genuinely believe someone like him should be leading rescue services in Pakistan, because panic stays miles away from him, I observed.

Such a truly inspiring personality.
