Sumita means ‘friendly’ in Indian, and Farzad described his first impressions of Sumita as being joyful, positive and kind. When I first met these two online, it was obvious they had a great relationship and a deep friendship. Their comfort level with one another was apparent in the glances, touches and comments they made.

I absolutely loved hearing about their first meeting! It was at a bus stop somewhere in Seattle, where they had a casual conversation, and Farzad managed to tell Sumita “your smile gives me energy”. WOW. Knowing Farzad now, and what a genuine gentleman he is, I don’t doubt the sincerity of those words, but I have to say those words make a great pick-up line! So feel free to steal!
