Revisiting the love story
Sudha shared that Narayana’s eagerness to make a good impression went awry when he arrived two hours late.
“He arrived two hours late to meet my father for the first time as his taxi broke down. My father was asking me what he does and other questions. And he came and told him that he wanteds to join politics and open an orphanage. My father always thought that I was a prize because at that time not many women did engineering. And he came late thinking he would impress my father,” she said, sharing that her father was very punctual about time.
Joining the conversation, Narayan said, “I had a little playfulness in me at that time. I was like, ‘okay, let him be angry’. I was a little bit adventurous“.
He even looked back meeting her for the first time, Narayan said, “Meeting her was a breath of fresh air. She has always been positive, kind, and very talkative…. She wanted a good listener… So, she was happy and I was happy”.
