Love is not always about grand romantic gestures and sweeping declarations; sometimes, it’s about small acts of love and kindness. For Shubhra and Gautam, it was the little things that made a big difference.

Shubhra was interested in meeting someone from a cultural background similar to her own. On [Aisle](https://aisle.onelink.me/KgP7/lgm43a0b), she instantly gravitated towards Preferences, a feature that allowed her to find exactly who she wanted. That person turned out to be Gautam. “ _He was so genuine and not at all over-the-top. He liked to travel, he was a dog lover — and best of all, he was a non-smoker. That was so important to me!_” Gautam claims he was pretty impressed when he first saw Shubhra’s profile too. “ _Just the way she described herself… I was so intrigued. She’s an excellent dancer and singer. It’s safe to say I was ‘clean-bowled’ when I first saw the videos of her performances._”

The couple soon began talking over the phone. “ _He was in Jaipur and I was in Dehradun,_” said Shubhra. “ _Gautam was keen to meet, but I kept refusing because I had torn a ligament and didn’t want to limp around on our first date!”_

As fate would have it, the two instantly connected over their love of hiking, F.R.I.E.N.D.S, and cheeky banter. “ _I remember in December one day he said to me — It would be far easier for him to drive down to Dehradun than to go and find a Christmas tree in Jaipur! I then challenged him to come and meet me. The next morning, I got a call that he was driving to Dehradun!_”

“ _When we first met, we hugged each other for a minute or two like we had known each other forever. It was so comfortable. I’ve never felt so relaxed,_” reminisces Gautam.

Subtle gestures of love for each other brought the couple closer, Shubhra says. “ _When we would walk together, Gautam would gently move me to the side away from traffic. When he would get up for a glass of water, he’d bring a glass for me too. It might not seem like much, but these small things really create security in a relationship._”

“ _When we finally decided to tell our parents, he set up a secret camera to record his parents’ reaction. They were ecstatic! As for my parents, I told them very simply, ‘I’m bringing another son for you.’ The two families got along like long-lost friends”,_ according to Gautam. “ _Her parents were so warm and welcoming. I knew that our families would gel very well together._”

Shubhra recounts their whirlwind romance: “ _It was the shortest courtship I’ve ever had, but things work out when they are meant to. We belonged with each other; the timeline was irrelevant._” _“It was pretty cool that we ended up together, I’m so thankful she liked me back!”_ says Gautam, _“Shubhra is the most emotionally intelligent person I’ve met in a long time.”_

The couple is now married in Sydney and have been living their lives together. _“Our advice? When you’re out to look for a partner, go with an open mind and set aside your judgements. You should be careful, of course; at the same time, it’s important to give something new a chance. If it’s meant to be, everything will fall in place.”_

_Thanks for the little nuggets of wisdom, Shubhra and Gautam — we hope they’ll lead to something big for our readers! Wishing you all the happiness in the world for your life together!_
