Class 11, accounts tuition, as rivals. We spent that year quietly competing over every mark, then signed up for the same maths tuition and did the whole thing again. Somewhere between the two we became friends. The competing never really stopped.
School ended, tuition stopped, and somewhere in that gap it stopped being friendship. Ten years later we still can't agree on who worked it out first. Or, for that matter, who was actually better at accounts.
Har Ki Dun. Akash asked, somewhere up a Himalayan valley: cold, tired, several days from a hot shower and a very long way from an accounts classroom. It turns out that's exactly the right place to ask. There's a photo.
Early mornings on the mat, evenings at the gym, food that fuels us, and a shared belief that the best things in life happen when body, mind and spirit are in sync.
With a techno beat, obviously. If the bass is right, we're there, and our wedding will be no exception.
Probably at the airport. Travel is our shared addiction: new places, new trails, new food scenes (the healthy kind... mostly).
People keep asking what the secret is. There isn't one, but there are these.
Not the edited version. Everything: the boring bits, the unflattering bits, the thing you're worried sounds silly out loud. Ten years in, the reason nothing has blindsided us is that there was never much left unsaid to blindside us with.
Swallowing something to keep the peace doesn't make it go away. It just makes it turn up later, bigger, attached to something unrelated. Say it while it's still small and still about what it's actually about.
We fight. We're both stubborn and neither of us enjoys losing. But we don't leave one hanging. We stay in it until it's genuinely cleared, not until one of us gives up. A fight that ends properly leaves you closer than you were before it started.
