Vedang was a med student on his OB/GYN rotation. Suchi was working as a nurse. She wasn’t supposed to be on shift that night, but the attending she was hoping to get a recommendation letter from decided to host a 1 a.m. potluck. She showed up—with a tray of tandoori paneer skewers (courtesy of her mom). When she walked into the workroom, she noticed a med student half-asleep in the corner. He looked up, gave a casual nod, and said, “Sup.” Her first thought? Who is this guy? They didn’t talk that night. Two weeks later, they matched on a dating app. Their first date was at a brewery in Durham. Suchi waved at Vedang in the parking lot. He looked directly at her… and didn’t wave back. (He still swears he didn’t see her.) Despite the awkward start, the conversation flowed so naturally it felt like they’d known each other for years. Somewhere in the middle of that date, Vedang mentioned a recent hospital potluck—where someone had brought these amazing paneer skewers. He liked them so much, he took the leftovers home. That’s when it clicked: They had already met.
