Hi Friends!

I am very exciting to share this true story , The Blind date was me (Manisha) and my boyfriend (Debashis)

A blind date with romantic weather sounds like a perfect setting.

As I walked into the small café, (Small coffee shop) my heart pounded with nervous anticipation. The atmosphere was cosy, with warm lighting and the hum of quiet sound conversation, but I couldn't shake the awkwardness that had settled in the pit of my stomach. I spotted Debashis my blind date, sitting by the window, nervously fiddling with his coffee cup. I forced a smile as I approached, but our initial conversation was stilted, full of polite small talk that did little to ease the tension. It felt like we were both trying too hard, stumbling over our words and struggling to find common ground on which we can continue our normal discussion.

Just as I was beginning to worry that the evening would be a disaster, a mischievous dog came in café with one customer , suddenly appeared, weaving between the tables and making a beeline for us. It was a fluffy golden retriever with a wagging tail and a playful glint in its eyes. The dog nudged my leg, then Debashis before plopping down between us with a satisfied huff. We both burst into laughter, the tension instantly melting away. The dog's unexpected arrival gave us something to bond over, and as we took turns petting it and sharing stories about our favourite pets, the conversation flowed naturally. By the time the dog's owner, an elderly man with a twinkle in his eye, came to retrieve his runaway companion, Debashis and I were completely at ease, sharing genuine smiles and inside jokes. What started as an awkward evening had turned into one of the most unexpectedly perfect dates, all thanks to an unplanned visit from a four-legged friend.

These sweet memories turns into true friendship. Then we make plan for small trip. That was my first International trip.
