New Delhi: Amid the destruction, debris and deaths that have engulfed Nepal, one family living in a tent since the deadly temblor celebrated their seven-year-old son's birthday with a memorable party.

Aditya Singh Thapa's birthday fell on April 28, three days after a 7.9 magnitude quake shook Nepal, killing and injuring thousands and flattening thousands of buildings. Like millions of others, Thapa's family too fled their house after it suffered dangerous cracks and started to camp in a tent in Lalitpur town, with none of the comforts they were used to.
