Kabir & Ananya are getting married

a tiny storybook

How it began

One borrowed umbrella, three monsoons and a hundred cups of chai later — we are getting married, and our story would not be complete without you.

July 2021

A borrowed umbrella

A sudden Jaipur monsoon, one umbrella outside a bookshop on MI Road, and two strangers who decided to share it.

Chai at the ghats

Weekend trains to Udaipur, kulhad chai at Gangaur Ghat and sunsets that never seemed long enough.

The question

A paper boat on Lake Pichola with a ring tied to its mast. She said yes before it reached the shore.
