Anya Grover

Hi, I’m Anya Grover, I'm studying a Bachelor of Computer Science. I love painting, but if I had to pick one thing that truly relaxes me, it would be cooking. Trying new dishes feels incredibly therapeutic to me it’s my way of unwinding and experimenting creatively. I’m always curious in the kitchen and love exploring different flavours. My all-time favourite TV show is

Gossip Girl

, mostly because I enjoy a little drama, and honestly, a little drama never hurts. One life lesson that’s really stayed with me comes from my maths teacher: life goes on anyway. So, it’s our choice whether we face it with optimism or keep sulking. That idea has shaped my outlook, and it’s something I try to live by. When it comes to food, Indian food will always be my comfort. If I had to choose one dish, dal makhani would definitely be up there – whether I could eat it forever is debatable, but it will always feel like home.
