"I don't know from where to begin. Since this page is about 'Humans Of Dharamshala', let me begin with the life here."

"Life here is a strange life, especially who came from Tibet and have to live on rent. Plus, it is difficult to find a job and even though if you could find a job, you will get paid around 7000 rs and out of which, rent comes around 4000! Then remaining 3000 rs, internet, electricity bill, food... wow! It is incredible how people live here. At one point, people think that life here is so good! But I doubt about it!"

"But then, people here also looks happy! It is really incredible! The friendship is so strong.  You know, if you are sick, you don't have to worry a lot as your friends are there for you. As people living here, many of their families are not here but their friends are. So, their friends are their family." 

"For me, I teach English as well as I work as a manager at one of the NGOs, so life is little easy as compared to many youths here. I feel lucky. But some times, I spend tones of time while smoking, thinking what I can do. But I cant do much you know." 

"Anyway, good luck."
