It was a cold, autumn Sunday. Kajal was going to a Spartan Race in New Jersey with some of her friends. Kirtan also happened to be going through mutual friends of Kajal's. Little did they know that November 3, 2019 would be the start of something amazing. Kajal, Kirtan, and their friends all arrived at the Spartan Race checkpoint and started their sprint. During the obstacle race, Kajal and Kirtan barely talked apart from the introductory "hello" and "how are you doing?" The day came and went, until one day, a couple of weeks later, Kirtan messaged Kajal on Instagram and responded to her story. Sure they were already friends by that point and knew of each other. But Kirtan sent that first message and their conversations continued... and has continued ever since!
