Love in February might be cliche, but it is also evergreen. And while it can be celebrated in is love in the comfort of your safe space? From finding comfort in their own company, their partners and close friends to being pet parents and finding their warm, fuzzy happy place in relationships unexpected, 13 such people opened their homes and spaces to us to give us an insight into what companionship and love on a daily looks like for them.
Tina Tahiliani Parikh and Aria Parikh
What do you love the most about each other?
Tina: That despite our 31-year age gap, we’re best friends.
Aria: The example that she’s set for me – the way in which she’s my best friend while also very much being my mother and parenting me, the way she’s built her career from the ground up while being so unbelievably available to my brother and me.
Love is?
Tina: The most important emotion. It heals, it binds, it nurtures.
Aria: Love is what keeps you going.
Pooja Dhingra and Ravi Vazirani
What do you love the most about each other?
Pooja: I love that he’s sometimes patient and that he’s a good listener. He has a very mature approach to life and solving problems. And he goes to therapy and gives us advice on the basis of what he learnt.
Ravi: Her ability to dial back. She takes feedback and is open to understanding where change is needed, and works on that. I feel like that’s what makes things comfortable because you don’t have to walk on eggshells around her. She’s loving and really kind.
