Anyone who dabbles with makeup would have heard of MAC Lipsticks. They are a cult favourite and for good reason! There has never been an occasion when a MAC Lipstick has failed me. I am a huge huge fan 🙂 Even though I am a lipstick collector (read hoarder) I have favourites that I keep going

The city of Nizams… isn’t that how each of us read about Hyderabad? I remember I did. For me, the city was all about old world charm, land bazaar (bangles, chaand baalis!) and biryani!!!

Exclamations!!!!

March 7, 2014 / Leave a Comment / Life Stories / Writer

Reading my last post and a few more before that made me realise that I use a lot of exclamation maeks in my writing. Almost every para ends with an exclamation mark. I can imagine my high school English teacher telling me to tone it down!

The Fragrant Rose

Flower Pink

I have never been a floral fragrance person. My preferences have always been fruity or spicy. Citrus, Musk, Lemon, Pomegranate based fragrances have been the ones I used to buy. As much as I love the scent of jasmine, lavender and rajnigandha I have only been able to tolerate agarbattis with floral scents. Never perfumes.

About Me

Ankita

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.
