It all started a year ago when ago when I was doing some research on Srirangapatna and I happened to meet Akihila, a conservation architect who over a cup of coffee shared quite a few interesting details on Tipu’s beautiful island capital. All excited we decided that the next time we meet it should be in Srirangapatna so that we can explore the place.

A few weeks later through a common friend I was introduced to Basav, a techie who had just returned from the US and was interested in working together on the walking tours. I mentioned the Srirangapatna plan to him and said “You join us”!!

So on a lovely Sunday morning last September Akhila, Namarta (Akhila’s friend and another conversational architect), Basav and myself drove to Srirangapatna and spent the entire day exploring the island. A great place with amazing history but then I guess it also works on your chemistry!!

And 10 months later Akhila and Basav  tie the knot!!

Let me not take too much credit for all this, after all they have worked really hard to make it happen. So heres wishing Akhila and Basav, who have decided to walk together in the journey of life, A lifetime of happiness!!
