Keron & Dhruvin
11 April 2017
For both Keron and me, meeting someone online was the last option. I am a confident man who always thought that I would find someone on my own and will live happily ever after however, life take funny turns. I spent majority of my 20's and early thirties pursuing a career that did not afford me the luxuries of dating and finding a life mate. Similarly Keron was also too busy focusing on her career. One fine day, my family asked me to look online and as a way to thwart of their 'persistent 'encouragement, I signed up on Shaadi.com. I wanted to make sure that whomever decided to contact me must be comfortable with my typical american upbringing and habits. I posted a picture of me from my last day of medical school celebrating with my batman shirt and holding Champaign. I also had additional pictures with me enjoying Guinness or scotch. This was designed to filter out "parents" searching for their daughters because, it was imperative for me to find a girl that was independent with a good mix of east and west values. Low and behold, I saw an interest from this gorgeous girl from Canada who had seen through my pictures and read my profile. I immediately converted my account from free to paid so I can communicate with her. I started studying for my USMLE step 1 exams and had to turn off all social media and thus I forgot that I had written to Keron. After my exams, I logged in and noticed that she had written back to me right away however, I had not responded back to her in 3 mos. I was sad that I had missed my chance to connect with her. I decided that I would take a chance and write to her to see if she was still interested. The plot thickens, I still remember the date I wrote to Keron again, it was March 18,2015. Apparently, Keron was on her way to NYC on that day, but her plane was delayed on tarmac. She saw notification and decided that she will check her messages. After viewing my message, she did not reply for three days. She showed my profile to her sister and her family and asked their opinion. Her sister suggested that She should write back and talk to me. After that fine day, she wrote me back and suggested that we start talking on whatsapp. Some 4 GB of chats on whatsapp, we decided to facetime. I remember my first words to her were.. "wow there is a face that I can wake up next to for the rest of my life", I knew I had to go to Canada to meet her in person. I had cleared USMLE Step 1 and was starting my medical rotations in New Jersey in May that year so we decided to meet. We met on June 5, 2016, I remember walking out of the airport in scrubs because I had a late call that day and despite my "worked all day appearance" she gave me a big hug and a kiss and told me that she was looking forward to this since we started chatting face to face. As they say rest is history. We continued to meet at least once a month and sometimes twice a month crossing border and meeting each other and respective families. I met her sister and her family in NJ and she spent time with my friends. After getting her family's blessing, she came and met my family in IL. My family was ecstatic and found her to be pleasant, intelligent and someone who is going to keep me on my "toes". I proposed to her on August 15, 2015 and after a brief pause, she said "YES". We decided that we should get Civil ceremony in US and have a traditional marriage in INDIA. Our civil ceremony was attended by her family from Canada and USA and My family was present from Illinois. After this celebration, we kept seeing each other once/twice a month crossing border because I was still doing my rotations and Keron was working on her MBA. We went to India for our grand wedding in July 2016. I truly feel that I have found someone that is my best friend and my soul mate. I hope this story inspires you to look online and search for your partner.
