Ankita Speaks: 

Born and raised in West Bengal, with Kolkata at heart, drawn to aesthetics, who enjoys exploring different aspects of chemistry as well as life. I value expression, balance, and growth. I love the mountains and adventure, and I unwind through crafts and painting. While growing into a more responsible version of myself, I’m also on a journey toward a free, healthy, and mindful life-learning, evolving, and enjoying the process.
