In April 2020, Mounika & Kshitij led a project making and delivering Face Shields. Working alongside the incredible Young Adult community of the Sathya Sai Baba organization to deliver the 2300+ face shields, they realized working together was easy. They saw shades of the same craziness they possessed in the other. Efficiency may not be their forte, and they absolutely love that!

Service is what brought them together back then, and service is what they hope remains a central focus as they commit to a shared destiny.

Mounika hates losing. Kshitij loves winning.

They love word games. Over 4000 games later, Mounika will always be the better one at Word Hunt and Kshitij at Anagrams. Over the years, FaceTime servers have been tested rigorously. Ranging from general life-updates to the nuances of vegan substitutes, while invigorating conversations are always wonderful, there’s something special about reaching a state where even the silences are comfortable. Food is good.

This is a story they love telling in-person. There is a short version, a long version, a contested version, a right version, and Kshitij’s version.
