About Vihaan Rai : Vihaan, a young boy living in Manali with his single mother, Poonam, struggles with the mysterious disappearance of his father, Bishal—a chef who went missing during a trip to Chandigarh from his workplace in Goa. Since then, there has been no contact or information about his whereabouts. Poonam is raising Vihaan alone, and the mystery of Bishal’s disappearance remains unresolved. Though Poonam puts on a brave face, Vihaan senses her quiet sadness and tries to help her in small ways at home.
Q. What is your favourite fictional story : My favourite story is “Tenali Raman”. I love reading the funny stories about how he solves big problems using his clever brain. My favourite story is the one where he tricks the thieves who wanted to rob his house by pretending to throw all his gold into a well. The way he outsmarts people is really fun to read. I also like how he always helps the king and the people in smart ways.
Q. A Question Vihaan Rai would like to ask you: What was your life like when you were 11 years old? What were your favourite things to do?
Vihaan Rai message to Khandro Rinpoche: Thank you Guru-ma for being a shining example of wisdom, kindness and dedication. I’m honoured to be your student and very grateful for what you have given me till now.
A special note from Vihaan Rai’s mother, Poonam Rai:
Thank you so much for supporting my son Vihaan’s education. As a single mother, your help means a lot to me. It has given Vihaan the chance to learn and grow with confidence. I’m truly grateful for your kindness and support.
