We've known each other since our kindergarten days. I was the kid who thought eating pencil graphite was a great idea, while she was the quiet one who kept to herself. Who would've guessed that the graphite-eater and the silent one would end up together? Fate (or luck!) brought us back together in the same coaching class (seekers) in 9th grade, where we started to bond. From there, we ended up in the same high school (CNN), then the same college (NITT), and even worked in Chennai (Swarup in Alstom and Kirthika in Carrier) for two years!
