She wrote as the caption: “I am not a sadist, but… Waking up at 4am, hiking for hours, and almost killing my friends with heatstroke (one got an ankle sprain, another hurt his knee, and one poor guy had no idea what he was getting into – I lied to him!). I pushed my friends to the limit, but somehow they still haven’t disowned me. Kaafi acche dost hai mere! (sic)”
