Khyati's Post

What if the places we fear the most are the ones we most need to understand? @wayfarer_anki ‘s Why Not? is not your typical travel memoir. It’s a deeply personal, poetic, and purposeful journey across borders, both geographic and emotional. With the weight of an Indian passport and the lightness of boundless curiosity, Ankitha ventures into some of the world’s most misunderstood countries. But what she finds isn’t danger - it’s generosity, warmth, and a shared humanness that headlines rarely capture. Each chapter is a quiet rebellion against stereotype. Her storytelling doesn’t just describe landscapes - it feels them. Each chapter is a gate away to a portal of insights. I was amazed to know about regions of Iraq, Syria and others that are known for being hostile. But Ankitha helped me discover the humane side of them. The writing is lyrical yet grounded, moving smoothly between soul-searching introspection and practical reflections. She lets us see both the chaos and the calm, the doubt and the discovery. The book’s brilliance lies in its structure and emotions - it never loses its emotional heart while gently guiding us through unfamiliar lands. Even if you’ve never left your city, Ankitha’s words make you feel like a fellow traveller. Why Not? invites us to challenge our assumptions, embrace vulnerability, and see beauty where we were taught to see threat. A must-read for seekers of truth, lovers of people, and believers in the kindness of strangers.
