Trending @Accenture; My Love Story ❤️ | Met someone and it's cute

I'm working in Bangalore (not gonna reveal which office) and it's absolutely magical. The work culture is vibrant and supportive in my team. During my first week, I remember asking a colleague about work-life balance, and she smiled warmly, saying, "It's chill. Don't worry" and she wasn't lying.

One particular incident stands out: we were given a challenging project for a retail client, and when we voiced concerns about the timeline, management immediately adjusted the schedule. This was new for me because in my old company they used to call me at 10pm also.

For five days straight, I found myself leaving the office early. On day six, I had plenty of time to relax before joining a client call at 10 a.m. This new work rhythm was refreshing, allowing me to explore the city after work.

It was during one of these after-work adventures that I met her. I had decided to try out a new coffee shop in Indiranagar(Humble Bean Cafe). As I was struggling to decide between a cold brew and a pour-over, I heard a cheerful voice behind me say, "The pour-over here is amazing, but if you're brave, try their Tonic cold brew."

I turned around to see a woman with a warm smile and bright eyes. We struck up a conversation, and I learned that she worked in UX design for a startup nearby. We bonded over our shared love for technology, good coffee, and the challenges of adapting to Bangalore's traffic. I dont know what got into me but I asked for her number. She agreed. 🥰

As weeks passed, our coffee shop encounters became more frequent, and soon we were meeting intentionally. her creativity and passion for her work just inspired me to be better, and I found myself looking forward to our conversations where we'd exchange ideas and sometimes even help her brainstorm solutions for work.

I could occasionally adjust my hours to meet Priya for lunch or an early dinner. It was during one of these meetups that I realized I was falling for her.

The best part? When a call does come in at 10 pm (which is rare), it's not my boss, it's her asking if I want to join her for a late-night ice cream run. And every time, my answer is a YES.

Just wanted to share my cute story hahaha. She told me about Grapevine so I thought I would share my story here.
