Our Story
Our story may not be as grandiose as the movies make it out to be. But nevertheless, finding your person doesn't always have to be. We met our senior year of undergrad at George Mason University. Padmini had claimed to be 'struggling' with a class (if you know her, you can already call her bluff). Who else but Moudi, to help her with her assignment? Our first encounter alone led to Moudi pretending to be as smart as he could be, while Padmini pretended to be impressed. We had never thought that this funny, awkward encounter would have blossomed into the love that we experience every day. Since that day, we have travelled the world together, eaten many interesting dishes, and have become enamored with each others rich cultures. We are best friends, through and through, and to this day Moudi still pretends to be smart, and Padmini pretends to be impressed.
