I am Ankita Bora and I turned 30 this year. I am an economist by degree and an analyst and communications professional, and I love nerding out about communications and marketing strategies.

Where are you from?
This has always been a difficult question for me. I am an Assamese, born in Delhi, then we moved to Bangladesh, then back to Delhi. My high school was from Jakarta, Indonesia. Under graduation from Delhi again, and post graduation from Oxford, UK. Oh! And in between I was London for a month.
I got married two years back and have moved to Calcutta since then.

Dancing. It is my first love. Also, I love to create journals, make scrapbooks out of my travels, try my hand on simple digital illustrations, and blog about my thoughts and opinions.

I am obsessed with all things crime – movies, TV shows, books. Also, I do watch romcoms sometimes to lighten up the mood.
