"I came to India in the year of 2005. I was send to a school but study is not really my kind of thing at all. Thus i left the school after three years. I can do basic conversations in English, Hindi and of course I am fluent in Tibetan. "
"After dropping school till now, I have spend my time in working these numerous restaurants as a dish washer, cook, chef and also manager. "
"I don’t have girl friend, wife nor my family here in Dharamshala. Thus, life in Dharamshala is strange. Being alone is sometimes difficult. The life here is like you are having diarrhea on a fine day. You don’t know when it will strike. So have to stay close to the toilet. Dharamshala, you don’t know what will happen to your life, so have to stay close to my friends. "
"People call me Nepali rather then my name as they think I look like a Nepali but I hardly tell the difference beside the red cheek of Tibetans and now even not many Tibetans living in India don’t have red cheek. "
Tashi Dhundup, Dharamshala.
