How we ended up here.

A short version of how we met: one Bumble match, eleven days of phone calls, and a December wedding.

    A match during Durga Puja

    We matched on Bumble in October, right in the middle of Durga Puja. The timing just felt right — everything made sense.

    Eleven days on the phone

    We talked on the phone for eleven days straight before we met in person at Bira Taproom in Koramangala. By the time we finally met, it already felt easy.

    A little over a year after that first match, we are getting married in Assam.
