About Lifestyle Pro Blog

Hi, I’m Ankita.

I started writing online in 2004, when blogs were still personal corners of the internet. back then, publishing a post felt like leaving a note in a quiet room. This blog began with me writing periodic stories. Then, as a place for everyday fragments, the books I read, the places I visited, the small absurdities of parenting. Things I noticed before I knew what to do with them.

Over time, the writing changed because I changed. The lifestyle bits are still here. So are the stories, the memories, the motherhood, the work, the beauty, the travel and the occasional overthinking of one completely ordinary moment.

What has changed is the question underneath.

I am less interested now in documenting what happened and more interested in what it reveals, about women, ambition, identity, culture, family, ageing, self-perception and the strange business of becoming a person while life keeps asking you to be useful.

If you are new here, first of all – many thanks for stopping by. Browse around and read about your interest areas. Maybe leave me a comment. It would mean a lot. Blogging brings me immense joy and some memorable experiences in my life have been thanks to blogging: Am sharing a few here. You can click on the image to read the post.

Start here if you are new

If you want to understand what I write about now, these are good places to begin:

Portrait of Ankita Bhatia Dhawan reflecting on everyday life and what it means to be a woman today
What It Actually Means to Be a Woman Today
Warm editorial-style illustration of two South Asian women in a softly lit peach-toned home interior, with an older woman seated calmly on a pedestal while a younger woman looks up at her thoughtfully from a dining table, symbolising the idealisation of mothers and the shifting perspective between daughters and mothers
Mothers, Mistakes, and the Myth of Perfection
Young Indian woman with a messy braid sits alone at an airport gate at night, holding her passport and boarding pass while looking at her reflection in the dark glass window, with warm peach lighting, blurred runway lights, and a small steel dabba visible in her open handbag.
 The Girl With One Braid – a story about girlhood, reputation and refusal
A woman dressed for work stands near the door, paused before leaving. Around her are small visual cues of calculation: an office outfit, a stole, heels, a work bag, a phone with a cab/location screen, and a small notepad or floating paper scraps with simple arithmetic-like markings.

Some older posts still bring readers here, and some still carry the earlier shape of this blog: beauty, books, parenting, workwear and the small domestic dramas that somehow become stories.

    Hello you! I forgot to tell you this last time … did you know that your Gravatar/Avatar/Profile isn’t linked to your WordPress little profile pic? I actually wrote a post about this on Sunday as I have come across a few people in the same boat. If you would like to fix it I wrote some little instructions on the post 🙂 Have a great day!
