Kaushik and Caroline first met in an exotic foreign land where all the great love stories begin - Poland. He was a 2nd-year MBA leading a trek across Eastern Europe for a group of incoming 1st-year MBAs (which included Caroline) while they were both at the University of Michigan. They wish they could say it was at love at first sight, with stolen glances over pierogies or long romantic walks in abandoned Soviet era salt mines. Instead, Kaushik and Caroline fell into complete neutrallity about each other and continued on with their lives. Things changed a couple months later when Kaushik offered to give practice interviews for 1st-years trying to get a job in consulting. Caroline decided to take Kaushik up on the offer, thinking at least he'd go easy on her. It was after spending an hour together one-on-one that Caroline noticed how kind, smart and handsome Kaushik truly is. Soon enough, Caroline had a little crush on her trek leader and asked for more and more practice interviews. Eventually Kaushik caught on to Caroline's very transparent requests and after Caroline secured her internship offer, Kaushik asked her out for a drink to celebrate at Raven's Club, an Ann Arbor cocktail bar. And the rest, as they say, is history.
