Happy BirthdayPragya

Hi Bubs, I couldn't be there with you today, so I built this instead.

start here

19 June 2024 – 6 February 2025

The journey begins

We were newly engaged and had nowhere to be but with each other. The best part of the day was always the end of it. Video calls that ran into the morning. Drives that led nowhere in particular, no destination, and somehow still more to talk about by the time we had to say goodbye. It was clear as a summer sky that this was meant to be!

The day it all began
Our first dinner date out
Mission cafe hopping
First flowers!?
Ducky face :p
1 Month!
Hour hands imprinted together!
Video calls that never ended
I will always love these homecomings <3
Stole my flowers (& my heart)
Birthday dinner done right
Netflix & Sushi 🍣
The (cute lil) monster of my dreams
The Mumbai stories!
What happened here? :p
That Delhi trip had a lot going on!
πŸ–€
Yin & Yang-ing at Indian Accent☯️
oopsie
RamYum (punny na?)
First Diwali!
My love, and her first love
πŸ’‹
Snapchat filters pro max on this one
That millet date had us crying with laughter 🀣
WTF!!
200+ poses later, the one picture that worked!
What a scandalous eve this was, hahaha!
Bidding adieu to Luni Fort
Not letting go of the bowl, and still criticizing non-stop
Kiss-cam clearly failed here (or did it?)
Matchy Matchy ✨ (spa day)
The A Team!
I still remember how we forgot that the camera is rolling, and just lost in the moment!
Passenger Princess in her natural habitat

When NIL said YA

233 days later, we tied the knot and became each other's. Forever!

Our first dance together πŸͺ©
Main character energy
Couldn't keep my eyes off you at that moment
and again
and again...
Mine! From this moment, till the end of time!
How we never wanted this moment to end! The world didn't matter anymore. Just us!
Taking a moment to ourselves
I still can't believe how I snuck in that night just to save our first night. So bold!
First ride home, as Mrs. Maheshwari!
Wedding is a wrap. We can officially sleep together now!

Feb, 2025 onwards

To ∞ and back

The wedding was over and a new journey began. Instead of stealing time on calls and late night sneaks, I had all of you, all the time. These are some special memories in ordinary places. This is my favourite part of our story. EVERY DAY!

Road trip 1 / ∞
Doing what married people do I guess 🀷🏻
First trip together: Pragya, Nilesh and Minaxi Mehandi!
After so many long distance movie nights, the first real one
Pushkar & La Pizzeria had our hearts.
Aesthetics ruined in 3..2..1...
So many colors, it was intoxicating (hehe)
I see you!
Never enough kisses 😘
Sleeping beauty
2 months married, yayyy
Pool table was giving me some other ideas
I will carry you around the world
Emergency room visit deserved a mention for sure
Everything inside my heart, materialized! You complete everything I love and hold dear to me
Moving into GGN could be a whole chapter in itself
Banjara Saga Begins
The only time so far when one of these coupons was utilized as intended
we need to do this again soon
Why were we even laughing?
Laila - Majnu (sorry)
We Hawwwt πŸ”₯😎
This is how close I need you to be, all the time
First brew

May, 2025

Italy

Florence, Rome, Positano... We walked a lot, ate more, got lost too and never once minded. If you asked me to describe how I want us to live, I'd probably just describe those eleven days.

separated by geographies, united at last
Packing light is clearly not your strong suit
I love this so much
sleeping beauty
Duomo is the second prettiest thing in this frame
Ufff 🫠
Remember what I said about kissing earlier? 'Never enough'
Lost in Lucca
gelato-hunting in Pisa
literally ran across Florence streets to be here
Panini, Pink and Pragya
MasterChef Italia calling
Rome-ing across the streets
We can't quite keep our hands to ourselves ever, can we? (the cab ride agrees)
🩡
Just as we had planned Amalfi
got lost, didn't mind
Pretending not to be worried
The only way to make this view picture perfect

Feb, 2026

One year in

Our first anniversary. Boats, water, and nowhere to be at any particular time. We should do this every February.

You in my lap, no flight has ever felt more comfortable than this
Maya Bay & us! Can live like this forever?
mandatory pose
No words needed to say how much I love this picture
Mangooooo
This night was magical
Turned out to be even better than how I had planned it
Farewell, the prettiest dinner setup ever :'/
I loved how you were giggling through the walk here. Like a kid in Disneyland
Thailand truly had our hearts captured πŸ©·β€οΈπŸ©΅πŸ’š

2026

The year so far

Which brings us roughly to today. Two years and a bit, and it still feels like we're early.

Coffee Dates like these <3
Day 1/1 of Gym
P casually dropping her moves while N falls deeper in love with her
This is not what I mean by "Draw me like one of your French girls"
So invested in creating art
Horsey was hungry yo
Reunited, after the longest wait ever!
My favorite view on this couch
First cocktail, woohooo
Hugs & Kisses xoxo

Happy Birthday, Bubs

—days married
—days together

I spent hours going through our pictures to build this, and it turned into a time travel. So few poses in there, and so many laughs. I went looking for the big moments to put on this page, and kept stopping at the small ones.

I'm sorry I'm not there today. It's the first birthday of yours I've missed, and I don't plan on making it a habit.

Will make up for it soon when we can celebrate this properly.

I love you. Happy birthday, P
