I hope you enjoy your visit and leave feeling a little more inspired (and maybe craving garlic bread).
And so, as we close the year out, I figure there’s no better time to close out this latest and arguable most windiest chapter of my life so far.
I wrote this after reading his poem, “Dear Basketball” like 10 times today, and crying more tears than I thought I had in me. I just wanted to channel what I was feeling into a letter of things that I wish I could’ve said if we ever met.
Last year, a week before my Birthday, I’d started this chapter of “Letters to You, from Me.” I thought it’d be cute to start a tradition of yearly reflections. So I present you, #5 To Me, From Me.
On the anniversary of that terrible day, this letter is meant for someone I wish got to see us grow up.
This one’s about someone very close to me, my apologies, and my daydreams of a perfect world.
This is a letter to someone I think I loved. Wherever he is now, and regardless of what happened, I hope he’s happy.

“The Ganga to me is the symbol of India’s memorable past which has been flowing into the present and continues to flow towards the ocean of the future.”
– Jawaharlal Nehru, First Prime Minister of India
Hi, I’m Ambika. The name Ganges Gal for my brand began as an ode to my namesake, Maa, who taught me to never forget where I come from, and to never let the obstacles in my life have a voice in defining me. She was a true Ganges Gal, a source of wisdom, a powerhouse of strength, and a force against the current–and I often find myself struggling to fill in the shoes she left behind. I hope with this project, I’ll at the very least have taken my first steps into becoming the woman she would’ve wanted me to be.
