The short version

My name's Akanksha, and I'm a student and self-proclaimed humorist with a stiff case of wanderlust.  

 

The not-so-short version

Hi! I'm Akanksha. That's pronounced Uh- kahn- sha. (Well, actually there's a 'k' in there, but I know you're probably struggling enough with those three syllables, so let's leave that out for now!)

 

I'm a twenty-something travel-writer and aspiring novelist who chooses to live by Theodor Giesel's books. 

 

Don't know who Theodor Geisel is? You probably do! His pen name was Dr. Seuss, and he wrote children's books. But man, these weren't your average children's books - some (all) of their content was borderline philosophical:

 

It's night before it's afternoon

December is here before it's June

My goodness how the time has flewn

How did it get so late so soon?

 

Also somewhat obsessed with the humorous, and sometimes, comic works of fiction by P.G. Wodehouse, and Oscar Wilde, I strive to sprinkle the same about of smiles on most of what I write. As far as the travelogues go, I'm really inspired by (and sort of have a crush on) 'Buddy' from  the show 'Wild Rides', Anthony Bourdain, and Stephen Fry.
