I am most proud of overcoming the most challenging situation in my personal life and much of the strength came from my partnership with my wife. We have always followed what I call the ‘M category’ in our marriage. The ‘M’ symbolizes interrelation where both partners can enjoy their individuality while reciprocating support to each other.
Relationships, for me, are like alphabets A, H, and M – different levels of support. Both get very strongly attached with ‘A’. The moment one of the partners pulls his weight, the entire relation comes crashing down. The ‘H’ symbolizes two people standing on their own two feet and connected at a bridge-like structure in the middle, depicting independence with some connection. But it’s the ‘M’ that truly symbolizes our relationship; thus, keeping that balance between freedom and togetherness. We find our spaces, follow our dreams, but once in a while, we pop up and are available to support one another through it all.

This approach has helped us grow individually and as a couple, giving us the resilience to take on the challenges of life without losing ourselves or each other. Our story is about finding strength in balance, and I am really proud of the progress we have made together.
