OUR STORY
After submitting his Ph.D. thesis, Arun set out on a solo backpacking trip across Europe — a journey meant for reflection, but it turned out to be a turning point in ways that he could never have imagined.
One afternoon in Copenhagen, he had a few hours to spare before catching a bus to Hamburg. He considered visiting a palace nearby but turned back midway, feeling he didn’t have enough time. As he was walking down a crowded street, he suddenly spotted a face that looked oddly familiar. He hesitated.
Could it be…? Something told him to turn around and check. Arun approached him nervously and asked, “Are you Magnus?”
He looked at him, smiled, gave me a firm handshake, and said, “Yes.” That moment — a brief but powerful connection had a deep impact on Arun.
