About the hosts
Saksham & Somkanya's story
It all began on a trip to Japan, where two curious travelers bonded over ramen, cherry blossoms, and — of course — endless anime debates. What started as casual conversations about Studio Ghibli and “which anime character we’d be” soon turned into hours of laughter, shared playlists, and a friendship that felt strangely fated.
When we returned to India, the connection didn’t fade — it grew stronger. Between late-night chats about AI, gadgets, and gaming, we realized we weren’t just vibing over shared interests — we were syncing in heartbeats. ✨
Our love story is a blend of logic and magic — where tech talk meets tenderness, and every adventure feels like a co-op game we never want to end.
Now, as we level up to our biggest journey yet — marriage, we’d love for you to join us in celebrating love, laughter, and a bond built on pixels, passion, and pure serendipity.
