a very unofficial invitation, from Vamshi

She ignored me completely in 9th grade.

I never really stopped noticing her. Some things take a while to find their way back.

9th grade

I noticed her. She noticed absolutely nothing about me. A one-sided situation, respectfully.

still counts as the beginning, don't argue with me 🙂

Harshita's akka's wedding

After 10th, at a wedding of all places, she showed up again — started tagging me in comments, then just told me she loved me. No warning. I asked her out immediately, begged a little, and she said yes.

The Rapido incident

She booked the wrong location. I have not let her forget it since, and honestly, I never will.

still the funniest 5 minutes of my life 😭

Why, exactly

a short, incomplete list

You never quitMentally the strongest person I know.
The bookworm thingAlways reading, always learning.
"I want to be healthy"said mid-bite of something not healthy. hilarious, never change.
The career drivewatching you chase your goals makes me chase mine harder.
Too kind, too innocentthe world needs more of that.
You, generallybeautiful, and my biggest supporter.

Where we're headed

Rich, successful, taking care of our families, genuinely happy — that's the plan we made together, and I still believe every part of it.

and somewhere down the line, a very lucky kid named Jam 💛

So, Yamini —
will you go on a date with me?
