Meet some couples who found their better halves at work.
Finding love at one's workplace is bliss
"Finding love at one's workplace is indeed bliss, as when you start loving a colleague he/she becomes your companion first, allowing you to know the person completely. There is mutual admiration and a sense of respect. In effect, this enables you in judging whether or not you can spend the rest of your life with him/ her," quips Navin.
Navin met Livyat when he was working as a Captain at the Taj Connemara - Chennai and Livyat was a hostess in the coffee shop. "Technically I reported to him! During my stint there we hardly spoke, though one day he invited me for a movie and consequently for lunch. And I jumped at the offer. That's how we started dating each other," smiles Livyat.
People are usually different at work and at home
"We eventually became friends and our initial days before marriage were a lot of fun. We used to meet up quite often - sit on the beach and talk, but never for once did we let our colleagues know that we were dating. We wanted to keep our private and personal lives separate," quips Livyat. "I think people are usually different at work and at home. The actual behavior of the person is showcased while at work. The way he dealt with friends and seniors, his sense of responsibility towards work were qualities that attracted me towards Navin," she gushes.
Working in the same place can cause pain, anger, jealousy and ego hassles. However what really matters is to work towards the relationship without affecting one's work.
