Our story started with a small dilemma. Not ours—Rohith’s. He had two close friends. Same birthday (August 24), different years. And instead of choosing, he did what any good friend would do—he brought us together. At Brewery Bhavana, he wished us both and said: “Happy birthday to both of you. I’m flying to India tomorrow… you two celebrate.” And just like that, he left. What started as a simple introduction turned into a beautiful birthday— easy conversations, shared laughs, and a connection that felt unexpectedly natural. After that, we met again at a friend’s party. Nothing planned—but somehow, we ended up having just as much fun. And then came a moment that changed everything. When I fell sick, Praneeth didn’t think twice. He went from birthday acquaintance to personal delivery guy real quick—showing up with food, medicines, and zero concern for COVID. In a place that still felt new to me, that meant more than words can explain. Somewhere in those days, something shifted. What began as a coincidence slowly became a choice. A choice to care. A choice to stay. A choice to grow together. As time went on, our worlds came together too. We met each other’s families, shared our lives more openly, and took one step at a time—towards something real. And today, we stand here, grateful for that one unexpected introduction that changed everything. From a shared birthday… to a shared life ahead— This is us.
