A fine dining experience at the local TGI Friday's (which in hindsight, they couldn't have picked a more difficult restaurant given Monica's vegetarianism and Daniel's dairy allergy) followed by the movie premiere of the Hunger Games. And it's no secret that Monica still refuses to watch the last Hunger Games movie since she doesn't want it to be the end of their relationship, like it was for the movie.

During Thanksgiving 2021, they were on Monica's first family trip to Europe with her mom and sister in Paris. They had first visited the city in 2016 and Monica had fallen in love with it so was incredibly excited to show her family around - no doubt by planning out every single minute. After a full-day of sight-seeing, Daniel had planned a date night for the two but Monica refused to leave her mom alone so after enlisting her sister for help, Daniel and Priyanka were finally able to convince Monica to go off on their own. After a dinner where Daniel was acting "off" much to Monica's annoyance, the two went to a nearby rooftop where Daniel had set-up a private proposal against the backdrop of a sparkling Eiffel Tower. It was the easiest "YES!", Monica ever said.

What's important to us. And that's spending time with the people we love most. (You all!)

To help as many first-gen and low-income students achieve their education and professional dreams. We'd love to start a non-profit one day focused on breaking socio-economic barriers!

Traveling to new places and getting to know the local people, food, and traditions. We've been to 25 countries together and plan on getting to as many more as possible!

It's so hard to pick one! But before starting business school, we spent the summer traveling through Southeast Asia from Bali to Cambodia. It was an incredible adventure and we'll never forget doing sunset yoga in the rice fields or waking up for sunrise at Angkor Wat.

A double date with a 50-something year old couple that we met during a trip to Israel. The man was from Punjab (same state as Monica) and the woman was a Christian from the Middle East. The two had been married for 30 years and had traveled around the world. It was the first time that Monica and Daniel spoke with an interracial couple that had successfully navigated the cultural and religious challenges...it felt like a glimpse in to what their future could be.

The four of them went to a locals-only restaurant tucked away in The Shuk in Jerusalem where they listened to an Israeli band play "Hallelujah". Singing with a room full of strangers against the backdrop of the Old City walls with new friends, it was a surreal experience that brings goosebumps to both Monica and Daniel every time they think of that night.

After driving along the coast of Portugal, we stumbled upon this small fisherman's village and a restaurant overlooking the cliffs. It was not only one of the most stunning meals we've had together but also the freshest and most delicious. Daniel still thinks of that Bacalhau to this day.

Somewhere with beautiful beaches!

We need a spreadsheet for everything :)

That's easy...Daniel.
