About Me
I am Tsering Dolma, a writer and blogger based in Dharamsala, Himachal Pradesh, India. I was born in Lhasa, Tibet, and came to India as a child with my family in the mid-1990s. I grew up in the Tibetan Children’s Village (TCV) schools, where I studied in Tibetan and English — a dual education that made language itself feel like something to pay close attention to.
📝 Sample content: Tsering Dolma is a fictional persona created to show what a Jinpa blog looks like. When you set up your own site, you’ll replace everything here — the bio, posts, photos, and links — with your own words.
I write about Tibetan culture and traditions in exile, the everyday texture of life in Dharamsala, questions of language and identity, and occasionally about books, history, and the long, complicated story of a people living far from home. I believe that writing in Tibetan — even for a small audience — is one of the most ordinary and necessary things a Tibetan in exile can do.
Writing
My work has appeared in community publications and Tibetan-language blogs. For several years I also ran a small writing circle in McLeod Ganj for young Tibetans who wanted to write in their mother tongue — something I hope to revive in some form.
This blog is where I write most freely: longer essays, personal reflections, notes on books I have been reading, and pieces in Tibetan that do not fit anywhere else.
Contact
If you would like to get in touch — whether about a piece I have written, a writing workshop, or anything else — you are welcome to email me.
