It began on this water

Our Story

  1. The boat ride

    A college trip to the backwaters, one shared umbrella, and a conversation that refused to end.

  2. The long distance

    Kochi to Bengaluru, four years of trains, calls and mailed banana chips.

  3. The yes

    Devan asked on the same jetty where they first talked. Amala said yes before he finished.
