About Me

Hi, I’m Ankita.

I started writing online in 2004, when blogs were still personal corners of the internet rather than content platforms.

Over the years, the writing has evolved, but the instinct behind it has remained the same. Pay attention to small moments and follow them where they lead.

Most of my posts begin that way and slowly unfold into reflections on work, motherhood, culture, memory and life in general.

Now, I write about who we become while we’re busy being everything else.

21 Feb over the years…. I just love it when random memories crop up like this. So grateful for devices we have and the ability to look back. I can see the changes not just physically, but how much I’ve grown and changed!

Me: let’s take a cute picture.
Sunflowers: let’s remind her she’s not the main character.

Gender Roles are different and the expectations fr

Gender Roles are different and the expectations from men and women are different. That is the reality of our life. The differences show up in the smallest of ways. Sometimes , we’d like to change them, and sometimes, it is better to just acknowledge and accept. The awareness itself is a good first step.

What’s your favourite chemical exfoliant? I’ve

What’s your favourite chemical exfoliant? I’ve tried The Ordinary AHA BHA peel as well as The Ordinary Glycolic acid. While both work well on the exfoliating part, my skin goes red and bumpy for 2-3 days afterward. And yes, I moisturise and lot and lay off the actives.
.
Anything you guys have tried that is gentler?
.
@theordinary products are my go to when it comes to skincare. Consistently worked well on my skin!

Unlearning What We Were Taught About Our Bodies .

Unlearning What We Were Taught About Our Bodies
.
I’ve learned that changing how you look is often the easiest part.
The harder work is unlearning the expectations that came with looking a certain way in the first place.
.
Somewhere between work, motherhood, moving countries, and holding life together, the body becomes evidence.
- Of effort.
- Of responsibility.
- Of showing up.
.
And yet, we’re still expected to treat it like a project.
Presentable. Controlled. Acceptable.
.
I don’t believe confidence comes from appearance anymore.
I don’t believe ageing is a personal failure.
And I don’t believe caring about how you look cancels out depth, intelligence, or seriousness.
.
This body has lived a full life. It doesn’t need to earn rest. It doesn’t owe anyone aesthetics.
.
I share thoughts like these here, often quietly, for women navigating work, motherhood, change, and their own becoming.
.
If this resonates, please share.

Does it get cold in Riyadh? Yes, it does!! We’ve had a few weeks of very cold weather… with single digit temperatures and feels like being around 5 degrees.
.
This week though, has been balmy! What kind of weather sorcery is this?

They weren’t lying when they said that moving countries changes you.
It just doesn’t announce where it changes you first.

Careers pause.
Identities stretch.
Some things fall silent so others can come into focus.
