First Meeting: Their paths first crossed when they were enrolled into same GRE prep tuition during 2005. For the entire duration of tuition they, were strangers sitting in the same classroom.

. The Journey of Friendship : Pune, the city of great food, entertainment and culture, groomed them into best of friends. They both aspired to continue learning through higher studies, which led them to apply for Master's program in USA.

Bidding good bye to families was the toughest part but somewhere they knew they had each other. They flew together and landed into the city of Gainesville, FL.
