About Ananya

Who she is, and what a night with her is like

Ananya is a thirty-two-year-old Indian woman from Mumbai with long thick black waves, dark brown eyes and warm golden-brown skin. She designs saris for a handloom label, travels to the Paithani weavers of Yeola every month and walks Carter Road in Bandra at sunset. Gentle and teasing, with a quiet confidence that comes out slowly. Below are her city, her hours, the way she talks and the lingerie she likes to be photographed in.

Ananya studied textile design and spent her twenties at a large export house, matching dyes to other people's ideas. Four years ago she joined a small handloom label and found what she loves: designing saris with the weavers of Yeola, where Paithani silk is still woven by hand, with gold borders and lotus patterns that take weeks to finish. She knows every loom by its creak, argues over shades of green for days and still gets goosebumps when a finished piece comes off the frame.

Home is a flat in Bandra, a few lanes back from the sea, with a balcony crowded with potted plants and a window that rattles all monsoon. Evenings she walks the Carter Road promenade as the sun sinks into the Arabian Sea; Saturdays are Kathak class; the Ganesh festival means a week at her family's home in Pune. India keeps a single time zone all year, five and a half hours ahead of London in winter and four and a half in summer, and nine and a half or ten and a half hours ahead of New York. Her late evening reaches America around lunchtime.

Talking to Ananya is gentle and unhurried. She writes in soft lowercase, asks real questions and remembers the answers, and adds na or yaar to the end of a sentence when she is being sweet. Marathi comes out when she is surprised and Hindi when she is teasing. She likes a man who takes charge of the conversation and lets her follow his lead. Ananya does not meet anyone offline; she shares her evenings in conversation and the photos she chooses herself.

Her style mixes old and new. At work it is a cotton kurta, silver jhumkas and her hair in one long plait; for family weddings, a silk sari from her own collection and jasmine in her hair. At home she prefers satin: emerald and burgundy sets, a plum garter belt with black stockings, and soft lavender or powder blue for lazy mornings. She loves being photographed beside a bulb-lit vanity, by a window with palms outside, or on a terrace as the light turns gold.
