Sandeep and I first met on our way to an office offsite in Jim Corbett. He had just joined the company from BCG and was already the talk of the office. I was excited to meet him, but our first interaction was brief, he was busy on a call at Delhi airport. Over the trip, through small conversations and a shared cab ride back to the airport, we became friends. Somewhere along the way, I developed a crush and told him how I felt, but the timing wasn’t right for us. A year later, at another offsite in Alleppey, I confessed again. He had just returned from a work trip to Somalia, and this time, I discovered the feelings were mutual. Back in Bangalore, we went on our first date, and everything clicked. We shared the same curiosity, humor, and way of seeing the world. What started as a chance meeting at an airport slowly turned into a friendship, and then into a love story that felt wonderfully inevitable. ❤️
