For a girl who had just graduated from college, the world seemed too big and frightening - And lo and behold, entered my knight in shiny armor.

I met him at HealthifyMe on June 13 2016. We were colleagues for 4 years and I am not gonna lie, we had our ups and downs with the ups mainly being that we sat next to each other for most of this time :P Much to both our amazement, we slowly got used to each other's bickering, worked hard, partied hard and became constants in each other's lives, but we were still not dating (cue frustrated noises :P)

One fine day in December 2019, he decided to move to London - and sirens blared inside my head. Now, why would I have a panic attack when my “frenemy” was leaving for London you may ask. And that’s when I realized, to me he was probably more than just my workplace buddy that I enjoyed annoying and coding with! The importance of such a person slowly dawned on me and I thought to myself, “Oh Damn! Now I am screwed!”

After a couple of weeks of Hi's, Hello's and random chitchatting, I finally opened up to him about how I felt about him and the whole nine yards of why it would work out between us, no matter what! After I so vulnerably poured out my heart to him, he replied with a sly "maybe" (frustrated noises intensify :P).

We started dating, virtually of course because #HateYouCorona. Even though our dates were “Google Duo” based, we navigated the dating world like pros, turning selfies to screenshots at the Buckingham Palace. Four whole months and we discovered our love for each other was just too good to just be dating! We broke the news to our parents with crossed fingers and guess who was more than happy with our choices!? (Clue: It was our parents!) They met up within a week, and after just two days, fixed on a date for the engagement!

Thus began our journey as a couple and I am sure it’s going to be a very adventurous one :'D
