We were both starting a new program at Capital One and met for the first time during orientation in Richmond, VA. Sohini initially found Neil a bit annoying and didn’t think much of them becoming a match. Neil, on the other hand, was preoccupied with adjusting to his new life, having left Texas for the first time. Within a couple of weeks, they realized they were on the same floor. Neil, playing the long game, made it a point to check in with Sohini during every water break, slowly getting to know her. Over time, they explored different restaurants and worked out together, discovering just how much they had in common. It wasn’t long before they realized how wonderful it is to have your best friend as your partner. The rest is history.
