In memoriam - Thupten

On September 1st, young Thupten Landhen suffered a road accident near Pitchandikulam at 1am in the morning in heavy rain. He was 24 years old.

Thupten lived for 12 years with his sister, Aurovilian Dorjee in Douceur, and helped her out in the Bakery and in their Lhasa restaurant. The last two years he has been studying in Future School as well.

He was known as a very amiable, easy going person, always willing to help out, be it by making photos on special occasions, making folks familiar with their mobile phones etc. His love and skill for photography was apparent.

Before Dorjee took Thupten’s body to their hometown Bailakupe near Mysore, it was displayed for one hour for a last goodbye at the Farewell centre. The huge number of shocked and grieving students and friends who attended bore testimony of how much this young man was appreciated and loved.
