The obituary notice of Benjamin Vischal THAPA

Dear Ben. Yours was a lost and found story which brought much joy to us. Instead of living a life of regret you actually came out to seek the truth all the way to India. Aunty, I have come to seek answers to many questions you said. Of course in life there is no rewind but there are opportunities to heal and forgive. And you had the courage and magnitude to reach out and bridge the gaps. I believe music played a major role in enriching your life. Even now I can see you in smiles and humming that unforgettable melody. Rest in peace dear nephew as you lived a good life. From Jyoti aunty and Ramesh uncle.

Ben. It's believed that time is a great healer but I doubt if I'll ever be able to get over the pain of your untimely loss, however, I'll try & console myself knowing that you are in a better place, with Jenny & the angels
I still recollect how ecstatic I was on hearing from you after 3 decades & the much awaited hug at Bangalore airport, was so emotional.
Reuniting with you, was 'life changing' for me. It felt as if God had granted me a new lease of life.
Notwithstanding your larger than life persona what made you exceptional was your genuine humility. You were respectful, compassionate & forgiving. A true giver who spread love & unconditionally welcomed the 'missing' into your life.
It was a pleasure & privilege knowing you, though briefly.
As a Hindu, I strongly believe in reincarnation. I pray that you are born again as my son in my next life. It'll be a great honour.
I promise to carry forward an unfinished item in our bucket list ... to conquer Everest as a father & son duo.
Until we meet again rest peacefully, my son
LOL

What a character, who I will never forget. You’ll be missed, Ben.
