I also recall the first encounter I had with Ansh. I was at McLeod Ganj, sightseeing around the beautiful streets and calm mountains, scribbling notes on my activities as a digital PR strategist at PRWeb so as to submit them to my company, which is the
leading press release services website in India. Brand awareness, media coverage, and strategic communications are the things I have to deal with, and I was career-oriented all my time. Ansh, on the other hand, is the proprietor of
India Highlight , a tourism agency based in Dharamshala, where he creates intentional travel experiences in India. He was also a career-oriented person who is passionate about what he does.
We had a career, and it was centred on our careers, but destiny had other plans. We happened to meet in a cafe in the hills, and at first we had the idea of a mere introduction, but soon it turned into a great talk about our visions, interests, and principles. We laughed and told each other about work, travelling, and life, and I experienced the immediate connection that I could not describe.
Since this initial experience in the mountains of McLeod Ganj, our trip was supplemented with every discovery, namely, walking the silent streets, savouring chai in the local cafes, and hiking to the sights that are not easily accessible. What we had was not only a relationship of love but also one of mutual respect, understanding, and cooperation. Throughout it all, I respected his vision, his warmth, and his focus, and he liked my ambition, imagination, and thinking.
Reflecting back on it, now I understand that it was not just a chance that I met Ansh, but the start of a relationship that is characterized by love, support, and shared dreams. We started as strangers in the hills and created our own lives together; our story is that of connection, respect, and love that is deepening day by day.
