Alisha, It's been a little over a year now. I had occasion to be in the University of Bath School of Management recently and it seems you are very much missed by all of us whose lives were enriched knowing you. We talked about the conversations we had with you. The insights you gave to all of us.
I personally miss the coffees in 4 West and discussing innovation, creativity and so much more. Terribly missed, but I am grateful for the time we had working together. Thank you. You will never be forgotten.

Hi Tula,

I miss you. You lived such a vibrantly beautiful life and I hope you are at peace wherever you are. You are forever in the hearts of people who love you Tula.

Alisha di,
I miss you and you’ve been in my thoughts a lot. Wherever you are hope you are in peace.

Love always,
Jenusha

Forever in our hearts. Lighting a candle for Alisha, her family, loved ones, and friends.

In loving memory, always

One year ago today. Time flies. Alisha was in our thoughts a lot today.
She's in our hearts forever.
We wish strength to her family and friends especially during this month.

Happy Birthday Alisha! Keeping you in my thoughts!

9 months since September 11. There is not a day that I still ask WHY?
Still cannot believe it.
To keep Alisha forever alive, we have collaborated with Amazon Web Services to offer AWS re/Start tuition free, in-person program in Kathmandu, Nepal. We have 2 cohorts going on at present with over 52 learners in total. Through scenario-based learning, hands-on labs, and coursework, learners gain the skills they need for an entry-level cloud role. In the program, you’ll also focus on professional skills such as adaptive communication, time management, resume building, and interviewing to prepare for employer meeting and interviews. Learners will learn cloud computing skills and prepare for AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner certification with free access to practice and full exams. After the learners graduate, we will connect the learners with employers and help them move into your new working life.
Every day all the learners still remember Alisha and the benefits that they are getting as a result to re/Start their careers with the new knowledge and skills that they are learning in class.
But I still ask Why? And Why Alisha?
Happy Birthday Alisha.
I wake up many time at the middle of the night thinking that it has been a long time since we had our scheduled calls and continue asking WHY these call are no more!

Happy Birthday, my dear Alisha.

The day you didn't look forward to is here. 'Thirty... I'll be so old!', you would often say. Next week I'll be turning 29 myself, the same age as you were. It painfully presents the unavoidable truth that time moves on, even if we don't.

I've missed you a lot. Many a time I wished I could've held you, even if just for a little while. Still, I hold all the memories that we've made together close. And they make me smile, even in the darkest of times.

I really wished for you to be young forever, never reaching beyond that milestone of 30 years. Young in mind, young in spirit, living life to the fullest like you always did. Just not like this.

Love you,

Bas

Happy birthday my dearest Alisha. We miss you very much and pray that you are at peace forever. - Eros dai.

What normally would have been the day celebrating Alisha's 30th birthday, now is a day of sadness but also of many happy memories of her. Forever in our thoughts!

I am to deeply saddened by the sudden death of your Daughter Alisha at early age. Being a father of 3 daughters I can imagine how painful it is to loss our precious gem from our life. I pray to almighty for giving you wisdom and strength to withstand this loss and pick up a good work under her name so that you can contribute to fulfill unfinished works/dreams of Alisha in future. God bless you.

We only met virtually but worked brilliantly as a team to bid for research funding for a project, which we believed together to be an exciting but important one for sustainability and for helping SMEs. Despite a short time we worked together, I learned a lot from her passion and knowledge in her area and we quickly became a good team thanks to her lovely and kind character.

Having found out this tragic news at the same time as the success news of the bidding and when the team was excited about realising our ideas together, I feel just devastated and it is still hard to believe it's real...

It's heart breaking when thinking that we even haven't met each other in person, but she will be remembered as one of great colleagues I have worked with in rest of my career...

My deepest condolences to Alisha's family and friends. She will be missed greatly.

Dear family and friends of Alisha,

I met Alisha in 2018 at a BAM workshop in Manchester. Several years later, I had the honor of acting as the external examiner of her PhD thesis. I got to know Alisha as a very bright and a kind colleague who was going to make an important contribution to the world of academia and research on sustainability. I still cannot believe she is not with us anymore. Please accept my heartfelt condolences, Eva.

Alisha was my supervisor, it breaks my heart to know this. She was a kind soul and super supportive. We interacted only for 4 months but she left a mark forever in my heart. I won't get over this loss but the memories of her will help soothe the pain. My heartfelt condolences to the family and her loved ones. Rest in peace Alisha, the heaven gained an angel.

My heartfelt condolences to Allen Ji and family. May her soul rest in peace.

Regards,

Amrit Singh Karki

Dear Alisha,

We never met, neither have we spoken before. Met your dad recently and after a few interactions, I saw a man of purpose. I feel how much your dad loved you and clearly, you must have must left a good mark while you were around.

Rest well and have peace Alisha.

Dear Alisha,
During your stay in Japan, we communicated about Nepal-Japan exchange program you were going to organize. I was admiring your love for motherland Nepal. Wherever you are, stay blessed. You will be missed in our hearts.

Hi Alisha,

I'm so shocked and sad to hear your news. We met a few times during the PhD activities. You were always so shiny, kind and funny. Still can't believe your gone, my deepest condolences are with your family.

May you Rest in Peace.

My heartfelt condolence to Allen sir and Sapana man.

May Alisha's soul rest in peace.

Dearest Alisha di,

It has taken me a while to come into terms with the fact that you are not here with us anymore. I have always thought of you as the smartest senpai who I could rely on for great advice; career and personal. You are one of the most humble, down to earth and happy-go-lucky person I have ever met. I will never forget the first time I visited Osaka with you. You were so easygoing and I remember having a great experience there thanks to you.

This other time I remember complimenting how soft your T-shirt was and then the next time we met you gave a new one saying you had two of them. You were so giving and so sweet!

I met you mom and dad during our Connext Asean trip to Nepal. I could tell how you got your traits as they were also very warm and generous and definitely very proud of you. I am so sorry for your lost uncle and auntie. I hope you find solace in the lovely memories you shared with her.

We really lost someone who could actually make a difference in this world. You had accomplished so much and I can only wonder what other milestones you were planning to achieve.

I hope that even though your journey here was short it was worth your while, and that you made the most of it. I am sure you did! You were and are an inspiration. I will try to be as positive as you were about life. Rest in peace Alisha di, we will all miss you dearly! ♥️

You left too soon... May your soul rest in peace and will always remember your beautiful smile..you will always be loved and be with us forever ❤️ Alisha

I worked with Alisha in the UK on innovation projects. She was fun, funny, intelligent, and a pleasure to work with.

Even more endearing was that she found my endless jokes very funny.

I wish her enduring happiness in her journey beyond this World and enduring sympathy to her family and friends.

To my dearest Tula,

Still haven’t been able to process the fact that you are no longer with us. Reading through all these heartfelt messages from all your friends and family makes me realize how truly loved you are by everyone. Every memory that I have of you is of you always smiling and laughing. You truly were a great friend and the kindest soul to everyone around you.

Still don’t know why god had to take you away from us, but the only reason I can think of is that heaven may have been in dire need of an angel. And heaven surely gained one in you, a beautiful, kind, loving and the brightest angel. I find peace in knowing that you are now with your sister, both lovingly resting in peace. As painful as it is to know that you are not here with us physically, I know that you will forever live on in so many beautiful memories of everyone who were blessed to have known you in this lifetime. In honor of your beautiful life, now every day I will try to be as kind as you, as loving as you, as hardworking as you and a great daughter like you. I will celebrate your life and achievements every step of the way.

The last message I have of you is of you telling me ‘somewhere, someday we will meet for sure’ and I just keep re-reading it again and again. Until we meet again Tula, rest easy and always keep smiling and laughing like you always do. You will truly be missed! Lots of love my dearest Tula. 

To uncle and aunty, I offer you my heartfelt condolences. May your beautiful daughter rest in peace! May you find comfort in knowing that she left a beautiful mark on everyone she met.

We are deeply saddened and shocked to hear the news about the loss of your daughter, Alisha. Me and my family offer our deepest condolences to the whole family members and pray to give you strength to cope up with the loss and be able to pass through this difficult time. OM Shanti ️

Stars never go down; they set to shine upon new shore.

Allen Dai / Bhauju - please stay strong !!

Hearts go heavy
as I remember you today.
Words I need to learn anew
to say what I must.
Peace I pray
for all who'd listen.
Deep you may rest, Alisha,
Where you are, and
deep in our hearts.

I can imagine no deeper pain than what you are feeling right now. We are so sorry for the loss of your precious Alisha. I know words seem meaningless after the loss. Still, I wanted you to know that you always have my support and love. Though young, your daughter lived each day with happiness, grace, and bravery. She will always be with us. “Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; love leaves a memory no one can steal.”

Allen Sir,

My sincerest condolences for Tuladhar family at this time. You have my heartfelt condolences. In this time of grief, I wish you a lot of courage. My heart goes out to you.

May her soul rest in peace!

Dear Allen Sir,

My sincere and heartfelt condolences to whole Tuladhar family. At this moment, I am completely blank and speechless. I pray the supreme god to give a lot of strength and courage to you and the family. My heart goes out to you.

May her soul rest in peace in heaven 

Dear Allen sir and Sapana maam,
We still cannot believe about Alisha. It still feels like it's a bad dream. We have no words to express because no words can make any thing easier for the parents. But still we hope and pray that you and the family stay strong in this unimaginable situation.

Allen Sir,

My sincerest condolences for Tuladhar family at this time. You have my heartfelt condolences. In this time of sorrow, I wish you a lot of courage.  My heart goes out to you.

May her soul rest in peace!

My heartfelt condolences Allen dai and Sapana Bhauju. I was shocked and couldnot believe it when i heard yesterday after coming back from abroad. I dont know what to say or write as nothing will console the loss you have at this time. Please be strong and be a support to bhauju. May Alisha's soul rest in peace !!

I would like to express my heartfelt condolences to Allen sir & family at this untimely bereavement of sister Alisha. My deepest prayers to the Almighty that her soul may rest in peace and bestow enough comfort & strength to the family to face the situation. Om Shanti.

Dear Alisha

It took me some time to feel strong enough to share my thoughts here. I have really struggled to process the news that you are no longer with us. A bright, shining light has just gone out and I cannot make sense of it. You brought so much optimism, so much hope and happiness. You were a joy to be around. We have much to learn from you, Alisha, and you will not be forgotten. Your memory will live on. Thank you for inspiring us, for sharing your positivity with us and for simply being you.

My thoughts are with all of your family and friends.

My deepest and heartfelt condolences go out to Alisha's friends and family across the world and in Nepal. I had the honour to meet Alisha in Berlin only a couple months ago with a mutual, dear close friend. I was so excited about her future and our shared passion for sustainability and climate change. I will make sure to share her work and PhD with my colleagues at the company I work at called South Pole as we continue to tackle these issues.

As Wine Society and Bath Alumni member myself as well, I will raise a glass to her time and time again and keep her in my heart and thoughts whenever I get the opportunity to visit Bath.

I am moved by her father's words in the blog posts -thank you- and the quotes from Alisha's diary entries: "isn't life just wonderful?!" and that the purpose of life lies in "standing for what's right in the world!". I could not agree with her more and will keep these with me. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to hearing more. "Lepää rauhassa", as we say in Finnish. Rest in Peace, Alisha.

Love, Laura

Dear Alisha, I do not have long conversation with you but I have been absorber, you as kid and grown up. You have been a proud daughter for both of your parents. Where ever you are, May you provide a blessing of strength to go through extreme difficult time for your parents and your near & dear. God bless. Deependra

Heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family.... Very sad, sorry and shocking news of young and dear Alisha leaving us at such an early period of her fruitful life is very uneventful and in short a big tragedy! ... But we always need to remember the Buddhist scriptures and understand the'Law of Impermanence'! Anicca... Anicca... Anicca!!! May her good deeds and beautiful attitudes lead her to blissful peace... Nibbana!

Please accept my deepest condolences for you and your family's loss. Stay strong Allen Sir

Alisha, I was really surprised to hear this news because I always thought you were very active and happy in your life from what I saw on Facebook. We had a great time together at Kumon's EIC camp and you were always smiling at the children, and offering sharp opinions and many suggestions during camp leader trainings and meetings.
I was really happy that you gave me personal advice and have such a person like you. I am so sorry to hear of Alisha's sudden passing at such a young age.
I am also impressed by your hard work and your ability to grow and become a leader. Thank you very much for making the EIC a success and for sharing the charm of Nepal and various cultures with the children. Thank you so much. I will never forget you.

I am very shocked and heartbroken to know that such a beautiful and kind person has left us. I cannot even try to imagine the grief Allen Sir and Sapna Ma'am must be going through at this difficult time. I am wishing you both peace, courage, and lots of love at this time of sorrow and holding both of you close in my thoughts and hoping you are doing ok.
Alisha, as I remembered her, was very humble, true to her words, always very professional, and pushed everyone around her to be their best. We will miss you. <3

It was the Summer of 2018 when Alisha, Sapana and Allen visited our place in DC. A globe trotting family finally made a detour to pass through the East coast.  It was time to reconnect with cousins, least did we all know that it would be our last days with Alisha.

A charming and a graceful lady with a musu-musu smile. Beaming with confidence, driven with a purpose, talking about sustainability and circular economy, and munching on her favorite homemade food – Anju tata’s “mya-key ja tarkari” (lentil and vegetable). No complaining, just living life to the fullest. This is who she was inside and outside. That was Alisha.

This past week has not been easy, to say the least, for Sapana and Allen. Resurrecting memories from the past of those that have gone too soon. Alisha was at the pinnacle of her academic journey looking forward to taking the next step in her life and enjoying the fruits of all the hard work. But alas, life seems so abrupt and cruel.

Sapana and Allen, you both have suffered immeasurable pain and loss and have shown time and time again that you both are resilient. We all know you can and will overcome the numbness from this loss and fill your reservoir of tears back with time, if not for yourselves certainly for Alisha’s peace of mind.

As we fill our hearts with sadness with running thoughts of what-ifs and raw emotions, we should all celebrate Alisha’s bubbly life and spread her radiance with others. This is how we remember her and that is how she would have wanted us to remember her. She will be missed dearly. Peace be with Alisha.

Sugandha, Anju, Syona, and Ronit Tuladhar

Dear Alisha,

I was shocked and saddened to hear this news. I have lovely memories of you as a wise, kind, and warm-hearted colleague, flatmate and friend during my time in Bath. It's difficult to believe you're no longer with us. I will miss you and the future opportunities we might have had to catch up again. My deepest condolences to your family and friends. May you rest in peace.

Dear Alisha,

It was a wonderful memory to have such an amazing friend like you. We met in APU and joined Kumon EIC camp in 2014. I remembered that we were roommates and we shared good memories of enjoying summer in Biwako and Osaka. We met again in 2018 in London and not a thing in you changed. Your smile, warmth, and positivity shines through the short interaction we had. You will always be missed! I passed on my heartfelt condolences to your family.

Dear Alisha DiDi I have known you for a short period of time however those moment were most memorable and fruitful to who I am today. Your gone has made me think of many aspect of life and I will live to the fullest until the day I can be here. Thank you for your words and warm comfort that you gave to me and my team during our struggling time. We will always remember you. May you rest in peace.

Dear Alisha,

it feels like it took me forever to write these words, and there will never be enough to be said about the loss of you. It is still so hard to understand. Social media makes us feel closer and it made it easier to stay in touch and to stay up to date on what is happening in your life. It looked like it was filled with so much joy, adventure and love, which is a consolation. You did not waste a minute of it.

I don't want to write too much about regret of not staying closer in touch. I am very thankful for the time I got to spend with you in Bath during our Masters degree, where I could experience your warmth and light for myself. Thank you for your positivity, the gift of your company, friendship, and the memories made.

You made this world a better place and I am sure, wherever you went, it just got a lot brighter there.

Heartfelt condolences to your parents.
You made them very proud.

Love, Lisa-Marie

Deepest condolences for Alisha 

Heartfelt condolences! May the departed soul rest in peace.

Shattered since i heard the news. I keep on thinking about Alisha's declamation back in school where she mentioned her mom telling "You are both Ellaine & Alisha for me"and its really breaking me . My heart breaks for her parents. Sending healing prayers and comfort during this tough time.Technically being the class clown back in days i'am glad about all the times i made you laugh and all other moments we shared together .

Rest in peace Chintu.

Alisha is my daughters´close friend. I am devasted when i heard of her passing away. I had an opportunity to work with her remotely on one research project and carry a pleasant memory. I and my family pray for the peace of departed soul and granting humongous strength to Alan ji and his family members to bear this irrepairable loss.
