We met at 15. Got married at 24.
Moved to the United States while I was completing my medical training.
We moved through Houston, Detroit, Boston and finally settled in the San Francisco bay area.
Every new city required adaptation.
Every training phase raised the standard.
Every transition demanded resilience.
Long hours. Exams. Overnight calls. Financial pressure. Immigration paperwork. Uncertainty about what came next.
Through all of it, we were building two things at the same time:
A career.
And a life.
We started in tiny apartments with limited furniture and large ambitions.
Over time, that became two boys, three dogs - Oboe, Riff, and Cody - and a home filled with movement, noise, perspective, love, and respect.
My wife has been more than a life partner.
She has been a partner in decisions, in business, in content, and in risk.
Through professional uncertainty, long training years, pivots, and the quiet pressure that comes with building something from scratch.
Ambition is sustainable when someone believes in your long-term direction - especially during seasons when results are not yet visible.
This Valentine’s Day, I’m grateful for Nidhi - my life partner - for standing beside me through uncertainty, ambition, long hours, and the life we’ve built together.
Happy Valentine’s Day to all of you - wishing you health, stability, and people who stand beside you through every season.
