The love story of Kowshik and Dona unfolds over many years. The two initially met in 2016, at a gathering in NYC. They explored the city and devoured several platters, courtesy of the Halal Guys. The laughs they shared would form the foundation of their cultivating friendship. They kept in touch over the next several years, as Kowshik continued his medical journey and as Dona continued her college education. Although both would attest that the physical distance was challenging, their emotional connection seemed to bridge the gap. They would support each other’s personal growth, education and career aspirations. In their free time, they would attend a variety of shows, try different food, and explore other US cities and foreign countries. Their commitment to one another started on the basis of friendship and flourished into their love. Thank you for being a part of their story and helping celebrate their continued journey!
