Sidhi arrived in Bangalore with dreams in her eyes and hope in her heart. She had a degree in graphic design and a desire to build a successful career in the city that’s known as India’s Silicon Valley. Her first few weeks were a whirlwind of induction meetings and learning various processes at work and apartment hunting with a school friend who already lived there. In short, she was trying to adjust to the bustling city life.
After looking at several houses, she found a quaint apartment in a cosy neighbourhood and quickly settled in. Her new neighbours were friendly, but one person stood out: Ajay, a cheerful and helpful guy who she had seen just move into the apartment next to hers.
“Hello, I’m Ajay,” he said with a warm smile. Sidhi looked up and returned the smile, feeling a little less alone in her new surroundings. “Hi Ajay, I’m Sidhi. I also moved in recently,” she replied.
Over the next few weeks, they explored the city together, sharing stories from their life and what brought them to this city. While Sidhi was from Delhi, Ajay had moved from Mysore and had been to Bangalore many times. Ajay introduced Sidhi to the best street food stalls and she, in turn, taught him her secret to making the perfect biryani.
