Time for another Nepali blogger to be featured and this
time it is Miss Dolkar Lhamo from Kathmandu, Nepal. An exclusive interview with
the blogger from Nepal, where she talks about her blog, fashion, food, her personal
style, photography and everything that describes her the best.
Hello Dolkar, could you start by telling us a little bit
about yourself?
I still haven’t excelled my
introduction part. Whenever I am told to speak about myself, I get stuck
instantly. Should I say my actual name or the name that I name myself? The
world is confusing or maybe, it is just me.
Anyways, my name is Dolkar Lhamo and I live in
Kathmandu, Nepal. I love gloomy days, light rain, my sister’s yum paneer curry
and the ama who sells roasted makai under the big Pipal tree in Ekantakuna
chowk, a full time dreamer, always dreaming to escape for wanderlust and a part
time lover. I am very confined to who I sprinkle my love to, not really a
naaiiicee person at the first meet, vegetarian since 11 years and a garlic
bread fanatic.
When and
why you started blogging?
It all started when I got my first DSLR
Camera, probably 4 years ago. I was taking candid pictures of the astonishing
sights and people and animals and post it in my blog. Also post the pictures of
the good looking guys who I see on the way with a tiny hope that’d stumble on
my blog and get surprised. I love surprise. (Oh wait! Am I sounding too
creepy?) :-D
Followed by pictures of my fancy food,
some poems and my outfit details and I guess that is how it all started, A
Silent Wanderer. .
‘A Silent Wanderer’
why that name?
Could
have been “The Happy Hippie” but this sounds a little too cliché no? Jokes. A Silent Wanderer because I love travelling,
constantly exploring and if I am not, I am easily bored. Since I am a Personal
Life & style Blogger I thought, this name defines me best.
How would
you describe your personal style?
I’ve
always been inclined towards style to describe my persona. My style is
untroubled, free spirit yet simplicity on firm.
I’ve always found your style a little different from the
mainstream fashion bloggers. The street style influence you have in your
pictures and personal style. Can you tell us a bit more about it?
Thankyou. This makes me happy to know
that you find my style different. The mainstream fashion is effortless and if
you can afford, you are fashionable. But to be different is coming out of the
cubical, being accepted and to be able to persuade is the achievement.
One thing I love about your blog is that it is more like a
style diary. You travel and take pictures in places and make the world your
stage. What do have to say that and about keeping fashion photography limited
to studios and indoors?
I keep my blog as a sphere to content me. I am
not confined to just one substance. I blog about travel, love, life, outfits,
food, events, places and sometimes dribble my tantrum in the form of poems in
my blog. Basically, it is where I deliver myself in whatever figure I choose
to.
And about the photography; well,
I’d say it ranges from a person to person. I prefer both outdoor and indoor
shoot depending on my story. I’d shoot indoor when I am feeling shut down.
Likewise, outdoor shoot because the atmosphere is natural and lively.
Where do you tend to buy your clothes and why?
Bahahah (Let me laugh a little before I answer) I don’t
know. There isn’t a particular warehouse that I get my stuffs from. Sometimes
I’d be wearing my mommy’s cardigan; the other day strolling in the old creepy
alleys around ason/Basantpur for the creepy creepy vintage finds. For
accessories, I can be particular because I am mostly at Masala Beads for their
bohemian vibes.
What do you think about the blogging scenario in Nepal?
I have been in the blogging scenario for almost 5 years
now and I can say that the blogger’s community is growing. There were only a
few bloggers when I first started and to see now, the turnout is overwhelming. People
have started recognizing what Blogging is and the possibility to reach mass Blog-o-sphere.
If you would have to give up blogging, what would replace
it with?
Poetry and Music.
Where do you find inspiration for your blog post?
The Suarez Sisters inspire me totally. Other in the list
is Rosalinda Tjioe.
What are your plans for your blog in the next year?
NO. No plans *reacts instantly* But hopefully, I will do
more blog posts in collaborations with fellow bloggers.
What does the biggest tip you have for anyone who wants to start a
fashion blog or website?
Well, I have got two *chuckle*
1.
“Start only
if you aim to stay”
2.
Please, don’t
be typical.
Who does your photography?
My sister takes my outfit photos. She probably is the only person who
understands what kind of photo angles I prefer... Other than that, the pictures
of the clouds, random passersby, umbrella, rivers, I take those pictures.
What do you want to do with
your blog in the days to come? Are we going to see more interesting posts and
contents and something different?
My blog will be the
reflection of me. If you see any changes in my blogpost in days to come, learn
that I’ve changed too. I will only portray who I am and what I have become and
sharing you what I want to do with my blog in future is hard to say for me now.
Just pray that I keep growing more fun and interesting and that adventure never
leaves my soul.
What you will be blogging about when 80?
I think I will only live till 70, at most. Live life at
fullest and not bear the old age pains and even during my farewell, I be
rocking as ever. Jokes apart, I don’t know if I will be blogging at the age of
80 but if I do, I’d still be blogging on my lifestyle and keep inspiring. I
probably will have a different blogname by then. Maybe,
StillStayingStillSlaying, how’s that??? (damn, that was a random one lol) J
Is there is anything I miss out and you’ll like to talk about it?
Not specifically, but I just want to share that I love dogs. Besides dreaming of travelling crayy crazy, I
wish I had tons of money so I can buy a house for me and live with the dogs I
want to adopt. I also have few children in my heart who I wish could live with
me and I could provide them good education. I also want to learn how to
communicate with animals so that whenever I see a cow in the middle of the busy
road, I’d tell the innocent soul that it is not safe and that there is a safer
place for her to reside.
