Jab they met…

It was as if Srikrishna and Nayana travelled all the way only to meet as strangers in an alien land

Bound forever Desi couple that met abroad

A fanciful fairytale it is, but not the customary girl-meets-boy kind. Well the boy, a native of Tenali near Vijayawada, did meet the girl, born in Labbipet in the city. That several years later love blossomed between the two at San Francisco, the ci ty with the Golden Gate Bridge and the nerve centre of Hollywood film, provides a spicy twist to their love story that has all the fizz of a captivating romance.

Devabhaktuni Srikrishna is a tech-entrepreneur who heads a firm in the Silicon Valley and Anne Nayana has a master’s degree in paediatrics with a roaring practice in the heart of San Francisco. Even while the two were engrossed in their own different things love just happened.

With a few childhood memories, Nayana moved offshore to New York City and studied medicine at the Albany Medical College. Srikrishna remained at Tenali to complete his schooling and went on to do his undergraduate studies at Caltech and graduate studies at the coveted Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), some of the finest institutes of that country.

Away from the city of beauty and loveliness, the couple was in Vijayawada braving the glowering sun, to unite in wedlock. Shunning the pomp and comfort of a foreign land, Srikrishna and Nayana chose to connect with their family and friends at their native land and share the defining moments of their lives with their well-wishers. Nayana’s grandmother lives in Gollapudi and the elderly woman could not have asked for more at an occasion like this.

Even while pursuing diverse dreams, the couple has discovered a unique bliss in togetherness that is bound to push them higher on the ladder of success
