Thank you everybody for being here on this pleasant day, to witness our friends writing the next chapter of their lives.
I’ve been sitting next to dinesh for about 3.5 years now. At work.
First met: He emailed me in late 2012 to ask to meet for coffee. Dinesh, computer engineer- I had a stereotype in my mind… he told me about his vision for Dineshsoft.
And I have learnt a great many things sitting next to him every day, executing on that vision. I consider myself very privileged to be able to work on his team and to witness him in action.
I’ve only met L a couple of times, and we haven’t had the chance to speak much. I think dinesh has sheltered her a little from our boundless, intrusive curiosity.
What I do know is that dinesh has uncommonly high standards when it comes to the people he associates with- which implies that everyone here is in very esteemed company, and Luo Ren especially so.
As a boss, dinesh is hyper rational, stoic, zen, questioning
As a friend, dinesh is hyper rational, stoic…
So I imagine that, as a husband, dinesh would be hyper rational, stoic…
L I’m sure that must be something you enjoy about him.
I’m prone to some hyperbolic gestures- something which dinesh usually reminds me to rein in. You can’t verify that, he’d say. What evidence do you have to make such claims? Where’s the data?
But this is one of those social occasions where bold claims are encouraged, so:
To Dinesh and L, I wish you a most optimal marriage with a great Internet connection.
May you constantly, non-trivially recalibrate your expectations of one another.
May you develop a precise understanding of each other’s hearts, and the cause and effect relationships influencing your mutual happiness.
May you decisively achieve your shared objectives, through careful evaluations of your pros and cons.
May you always find the time to have frequent 1-1s, to get to know each other, over and over again.
May you find in each other comfort, solace and joy in your little corner of the space-time continuum.
Congratulations
