About me

Hi, I am Ananya. Pleased to e-meet you!

I am interested in stories, music, plants, poetry, writing. They give meaning and purpose to my life. I am interested in ideas and barter of ideas — beautiful warm ideas. I am motivated by connecting ideas, difficult to put in words but my mind is constantly making connections. I would like to settle at a place where different ideas merge.

I am in search of finding a place for myself in this world- a place not driven by just money, power, or conventional beauty. I would like to believe that one day I will find what I am looking for.

I am very sensitive to people’s energies.

I have recently become interested in plants like a year back. It is one of those rare things I feel extremely connected to.

I am interested in music- listening and would learn to love it someday.

I am enamored by beauty but not by conventional beauty. Thanks to my beautiful mom who made it a point to never even bring physical beauty in any conversation, I am blind to conventional standards of beauty.

When I say beauty, it is not skin deep for me, it is about patterns, it is about that beauty that can be experienced more than seen. Like randomly spotting bluebirds in the wild. Like a new fresh green leaf sprouting from my pothos. I am yet to find words for this kind of beauty.

I want to live a life not defined by social conventions. I want to live a life true to myself — you know the one where you able to hear that whisper. The whisper of your heart, which is faintest of the faint. The whisper which you don’t feel in your heart or your mind but in your body. This whisper might be in consonance with what everyone says or just totally opposite.

I want to have that courage to hear and welcome this whisper. And make it my guest.

I am a believer in serendipity. I like to take chances, I like to take detours. With the little experience that I have, I believe that God has hidden the most beautiful pearls of life in the most treacherous of the hikes. Most of the treasures that I have found are in the places where I risked so much. Risk of believing that whisper and risk of not believing what the conventional wisdom says.

This blog is an attempt to channel that whisper.

Love

Ananya
