Our story
How we met
The short version: a calculator, a beach, two cities, one boat. The long version is below.
It was the first week of engineering college in Pune, and Meera had forgotten her calculator for a physics test. The boy at the next desk slid his spare across without looking up. She returned it a week later with a note that said "thank you, I still don't understand physics". He kept the note. He still has it.
They became lab partners, then best friends, then (after an embarrassingly long time, according to everyone around them) something more. Through two cities, three flats and one very stubborn plant, they've been each other's favourite person.
Along the way
Nine years, six moments
July 2017
A borrowed calculator
First week of engineering in Pune. Meera forgot her calculator for a physics test; Aarav had a spare and never asked for it back.
2019
The first trip
Six friends, one Goa trip, and a long walk on the beach where the two of them talked until the sun came up.
2021
Two cities
Meera moved to Bengaluru for work and Aarav stayed in Pune. Eighteen months of late-night calls and weekend trains.
2023
One city
Aarav moved to Bengaluru. They found a flat with a balcony big enough for Meera's plants and Aarav's cycle.
October 2025
The proposal
A boat on Lake Pichola at sunset, a ring in the right pocket (finally), and a yes before he finished the question.

Overheard
What the people closest to us say
I sat between them in second year. I knew before they did.
Tanvi, college friend (sample)
Meera called me at 1 am from the boat. I couldn't understand a word, and I didn't need to.

Aarav practised the proposal on me four times. The ring was in the wrong pocket twice.
