Saanvi's Uncle:
Met an old friend today in the village.
He mentioned a guy named Shaiv — lives in the U.S., well-settled, looking to marry through family connections.
Old Friend:
Really? We're actually looking for a bride for him too.
Someone genuine and grounded.
Uncle:
That's a coincidence.
My niece, Saanvi, is 29. Kind, emotional, and very close to her family.
We've been searching for a good match too.
[Photos & biodata shared. Horoscopes sent for matching.]
Family Pandit:
The match is perfect. Kundli says 36/36.

Shaiv:
Hey Saanvi, how are you? This is Shaiv.
Saanvi (reading, thinking):
Oh... it's him.
(typing)
Hey Shaiv, I'm good. How about you?
Shaiv:
Doing well. Are you free now? Thought we could do a quick video call.
Saanvi (nervous):
Video call? Already? I've never even heard his voice...
(typing)
Umm… I'm a bit occupied at the moment.
Shaiv:
No worries. Let me know when you're free.
Saanvi (pauses, then types again):
Actually… would it be okay if we started with an audio call?
Shaiv:
Sure. Give me 15 minutes?
Saanvi (thinking):
What will he sound like? Will it be weird? Or maybe… comfortable?
[15 minutes feels like forever…]
