Our Story

"From a Simple DM to an Infinite Bond"

Deep and Manushi first met at a mutual friend’s birthday party at the Rooftop Restaurant. Deep was 21, and Manushi was 19; both felt they were too young to be interested in anything serious, so they parted ways without much thought. Two years later, on November 24, 2019, Deep slid into Manushi’s DMs on response to her story with a playful message: “Who's that?! She must be hella strong” that simple question ignited a friendship that blossomed through late-night FaceTime calls and shared interests. Just as Deep was planning to ask her out, the world went into lockdown due to COVID-19, isolating them just when things were heating up. Despite the distance, they both sensed that their connection ran deeper than friendship. After waiting for nearly ten long months, Deep finally made the trip to see Manushi. Together, they embraced every adventure that came their way, proving their bond was unbreakable as they stepped onto a path that felt infinite. #DMto∞
