Meet Ankita Goswami

What types of clothing do you like to wear?:

I love wearing kurtas (a kurta is a loose, collarless shirt) with jeans or leggings. I also wear a lot of graphic T-shirts.

What do you like to do in your free time?:

I like to read books or watch movies/TV shows on Netflix/Amazon Prime/Hotstar in my free time. I like to spend some free time playing my guitar, as well.  

 

What language(s) do you speak? How do you say "Hello" in your language?:

I speak four languages fluently - English, Hindi, Assamese (my mother tongue) and Bengali. I can also speak basic Odia and Korean. In India, because of our colonial past, we usually say 'hello' in English. But traditionally - in Hindi, 'hello' is Namaste; in Assamese and Odia, 'hello' is Nomoskar; and in Bengali it is Nomoshkar. It's 'Annoyeong Haseyo/Annyeong' in Korean, I believe. 

Do you have pets?:

Yes, I do! We have two dogs at home - a female and a male dog. Since my father loves drinking fresh, unpasteurised milk, we also have two cows at home. My dad maintains an aquarium with fish, as well, but those are his pets, not mine. 

Have you traveled? Where have you traveled to?:

Yes, I have. I have traveled to almost every state in India. Outside India, I have traveled to Thailand, Sri Lanka and Bhutan, so far. My family and I love traveling. 

 

What do you do for work?:

I am a lawyer who works as a Program Analyst at a civil society organization called iProbono.
