~The Romance of the Kumars~ (Part 1)
Once upon a time is how all good stories begin. Ours began with a baby boy named Atul, who was born in 1989 to a loving couple in Jamalpur, India. Three years later, halfway around the world, the other half of our story was born - a little girl named Siân, born in 1992 in Walsall, United Kingdom. Atul and Siân both had happy childhoods. When Atul was 9, he moved to a Scottish missionary boarding school. Life was hard and strict; he only saw his parents once a year. In an environment full of boys, young Atul grew mature at a very early age. Siân, on the other hand, was homeschooled alongside her twin brother. Atul graduated from school and went to college, where he met some of his lifelong friends. He studied in Bangalore and became a coding engineer before deciding to go abroad and take a Master's degree. First he tried Canada, but for some unknown reason, they rejected his application. Atul gave up. His dad didn't; he applied for a UK visa for him, which was accepted.
