(iii) Jubilant and sad

Explanation – According to Major H.P.S. Ahluwalia, by climbing the summit of Everest, one is overwhelmed by a deep sense of joy and thankfulness. However, at the same time, he also experienced a tinge of sadness because of the thought that there was nothing up beyond that point and ultimately one had to land down in the real world.
