A plume of smoke rises behind and she scuttles back to the grill to fan the kindling tinder underneath a skewer of fresh pineapples marinated in Kashmiri mirch powder, salt, pepper and chaat masala. Basavaraj, her husband, steals loving glances at Amruta while telling us, "I couldn't have done anything without her." She giggles again.

Basavaraj Mallapa Kabure, 32, and Amruta Basavaraj Kabure, 31, met in 2008. "He sent me a friend request on Orkut," Amruta recalls. Both architects by day, their touching love story began with helping each other with assignments. "We were really good friends and our parents were aware of it. I don't even think we have said 'I love you' to each other yet. Our families got the inkling that something was going on and they asked us to get married," Amruta shares.
