Gurgaon & Axtria Times
The Beginning: First Sparks
We met at Axtria on day one. You glowed like an angel, radiating positive energy - I knew immediately you were someone special. Despite my nerves during our IHOP first date, your smile put me at ease. That house party later broke our formal barriers, and learning about you became my happy obsession.
Adventures Together: Snow & City Lights
Our Himachal trek gave us our first snowman and precious hotel cuddles in the snow. Exploring Bombay together exceeded all expectations. With you, boredom is impossible - we just need each other. As U2 said, "I can't live without or with you." Our spontaneous road trips became treasured memories - singing loudly to our favorite songs with windows down. Remember that sunset at Marine Drive where we sat for hours without speaking, just existing together.
Our Quirky World: Just Us Two
I gave you countless nicknames - Smalls, Chika, and more. Our shared weirdness created such beauty, fitting perfectly together like our cuddles. From Snapchat filters to playing with bras, getting into suitcases, smoking up in bed watching movies, and our pizza and wine nights - I absorbed your personality, fell in love with your interests, and cherished every moment. This was when I started loving you and started to feel that you were the one
Covid Times - Uncertain Phase
Lockdown Begins
When the world shut down, we refused to let our connection fade. Those daily video calls became my lifeline, and our virtual conversation dates kept us close despite the distance and the fights. Those little moments kept me going through the darkest days. We learnt on how to deal with distance. Although it was tough initially, we got a handle of it eventually.
Pandemic Escapes: Finding Us Through Lockdowns
Even during COVID's restrictions, we broke free when possible. Our Delhi and Goa trips preserved my sanity and reinforced my belief in our resilience. South Goa became our haven - beachside dates, lazy shoreline days, island kayaking adventures, sand painting sessions, and impromptu beach picnics with wine, cheese, and crackers under open skies. Similar with delhi, we created our own little world and we didnt care about what was goin outside it. These trips weren't merely escapes; they were affirmations that distance couldn't diminish what we built together. Yet.
US/Dubai Phase - International Long Distance
Oceans Apart: Finding Connection Across Continents
You moved to the US; I relocated to Dubai. Career paths pulled us physically apart. I wanted to support u and so did you, so we were at our best behaviour, supporting each other. Especially with us doing fashion shows, cooking food over video calls and just even sometimes working over video calls. It gave me so much happiness that we were actually able to make it work despite a few setbacks due to the distance. The joy of making it work against geographical and timezone odds became its own reward.
European Dreams
Our European trip may have included others, but in my heart, it was just us two. Fulfilling my dream of exploring Europe with my love—a journey that for me ended only when you departed. Meeting you at a foreign airport with flowers, staying in character-filled Airbnbs, dining amid historic forts—each moment was precious. The best part was experiencing our beloved artists together—Tame Impala, Arctic Monkeys, Jungle—the soundtracks that had defined our relationship since we met. The music that once lived in our headphones and on the rooms finally materialized into shared memories.
Turkish Delight
Our first day - my birthday night - dancing through streets set the tone for magic. Your thoughtful plans unfolded perfectly, creating my most memorable birthday ever. In Bodrum, we lived a condensed lifetime - waterfront conversations, cultural explorations, and your nightly lentil soup ritual created our temporary home. Pammukale at the end, was a dream. 1 day seemed to less to be in heaven with my angel.
