A little note
Dear Sagar,
Thirty-one. Thirty-one! It feels like five minutes ago we were broke, over-caffeinated, and somehow always up for one more plan — and now look at you, all grown up and (allegedly) responsible.
We've collected a ridiculous number of memories along the way: lazy afternoons wandering old forts and the Qutb, that mad cold air on the way up to the mountains, a hundred restaurant tables that ran way too late, festival lights, road trips, and the whole gang squeezed into every frame. Through all of it you've been the steady one — generous, funny, and impossibly easy to love.
So here's a tiny corner of the internet just for you: a decade of us, in pictures. Scroll slowly. Smile a lot. And get ready for an even better decade ahead.
Happy birthday, brother. ❤️
