Interests: I like all types of music..as long as it's not too instrumental or too slow to the point where you fall asleep.

Hobbies: I enjoy hanging out with friends, watching TV, going online to check out the news and working out (occasionally).

Fav foods: Tibetan food, of course. But besides that, I like everything else equally.

Fav movies: I'm a movie fanatic so there's too many to list...and yes, I watch Hindi movie as well, I've probably seen every new movies that has come out... One that I would recommend to movie goers would be Mujhse shaadi karoge...moral of that movie: control your temper.

Fav actors: I would have to mention the legends...Al Pacino, Robert De Niro and one that every youngsters would agree on would be Dave Chappelle! (I'm broke b***h!)

Describe yourself in a few words: Well I'm friendly, open-minded, and I get along pretty well with people.

What do you think of Migyul: I think it's great to have a magazine where Himalayan people are well informed with what's going on within the Himalayan community and it gives the youngsters growing up in a foreign land some sort of belonging.
