Medical school, residency, long shifts — my social life had basically disappeared by my late twenties. My parents were worried. I was too, honestly, but I kept telling myself there would be time later.
A friend who had met her husband online convinced me to try DesiThrill. She said the profiles felt more serious, more intentional. She was right.
Rohan’s profile stood out immediately. He was a GP in Manchester, also juggling crazy hours, also looking for someone with similar values. We bonded instantly over our shared frustration of missing family events because of on-call schedules. He just got it.
What made DesiThrill different was that conversations felt purposeful. We weren’t just exchanging small talk — within a few weeks we were talking about what kind of family life we wanted, how we handled stress, what our relationship with our faith looked like.
Six months of long-distance calls later, our families spoke. One year after that, we had a beautiful wedding in Toronto with guests flying in from Manchester, Mumbai and Vancouver.
We now both work at the same hospital group. Life came full circle in the best way.
