A little bit of Kismet

Their story began in January 2015 when Chirag & Aradhana first started working at a ~humble~ but bright non-profit in San Francisco. Aradhana claims to have noticed Chirag from the get, but their first meeting would suggest otherwise - She barely looked up from her computer when Chirag was being introduced. While other officemates greeted him warmly, Chirag insists Aradhana couldn’t be bothered. Over the months, the two started to hang out after work and coworkers would tease about their chemistry. Chirag even tried his hand at impressing Aradhana by bringing her tupparware(s) of his mom's cooking. Though these interactions earned Chirag a nickname with Aradhana's friends, the timing for romance then just... wasn’t right. They became friends instead. Over the years, between potlucks and protests, hikes and happy hours, celebrations and difficult moments, their relationship grew. While there may have been the unspoken vibe of ‘what if’ between them, this was overshadowed by the contentious discussions or loud laughter that made up their friendship. In the last couple years, one *bold* move led to another bringing them here today. Indeed, their story seems like it unfolded quite naturally, and also, feels like the universe was guiding this journey all along.
