I don’t know where to start….A relationship between siblings is probably the most complex of all, there is a healthy rivalry, undying and protective love and above all complete and unconditional loyalty. Although I have lived away from Sagar for almost over a decade, he is probably the only person in this world who knows me best, who knows my short comings, and my deepest fears, however, I can’t say the same for him. Sagar’s friends have been there for him all this while giving him love and support which as a brother I was unable to. Now this special person is about to embark a new journey in his life and all I will want from everyone close to him that you will remain as loyal as you always were and support him. I am so happy for Sagar that he has found a perfect life partner. Your engagement day fills me with great memories and excitement; and I can’t wait to share your special day. You deserve nothing but the best…Once again Congratulations on finding your one true love. All the best to you and your new family at this special time and always. Remember, no matter where you go or what you do, you will always be my little brother and I will always be there for you!

I first met Sagar as an acquaintance in 12th grade through Pavan and Prashant since he had just moved from London to Edison. We hung out a bunch of times and by the end of senior year decided to be roommates our freshman year of college at Rutgers. From sharing a room for 3 years straight to traveling through India on a month long trip, we have gone from mere acquaintances in high school to family now. Over that time, we've made tons of good memories, many of which I will embarrass him with during the wedding festivities! I am extremely happy to be a part of Sagar and Anshu taking their next big step in life. I can safely say this is something at all of our friends have been anticipating for a very very long time. Congratulations and I wish you both the very best!

Sagar and I became friends when we were in college, after the happy couple started dating. I have many memories of Sagar but my favorite is when we had night out in Hoboken. We had a blast (what happens in hoboken stays in hoboken). After the long night, we went back to Sagar's house and he still had energy to breakout some punjabi dancing moves. We kept the party going till 4 in the morning. I look forward to more nights like the many we've had. Congrats to Sagar and Anshu, I am very excited for your wedding.

Throughout your lifetime you meet countless new faces. Very few of them become the type of friend Sagar is. I first met Sagar during our time at Rutgers. Since then every time we hang out seems to end up as a crazy, and memorable night. One of these times that comes to mind involves a Mickey Mouse, and a pair of ripped pants. Here's to my amazing friend Sagar, and never sharing a dull moment together.

I met Sagar during the very early years of high school and nothing has ever stayed the same. I can truly say that if not for him being from London, we would never had decided to cross paths! To recollect all the memories we have made after that moment would be a challenge in itself, but some of the most fond ones have been those that we have spent together. From the times we spent late afternoons sleeping over and seeing Hindi movies (only because our other friends hated them or did not understand them like us) to when we visited random restaurants to get Indian food and decided to go to the gym because we felt guilty, he has become more like another brother that I could always count on to participate in the things I love most. Besides these wonderful times, we have traveled together more than anyone around the world (India, Dubai, China, etc.) to visit some of the most intriguing places on this planet. Finding friends that hold the same values as you can be hard to come upon, but since the very first time we came across each other - I knew that this friendship would be one that would last a lifetime. Seeing him work hard in college to growing into having a successful working life, it is my pleasure to see him take the next step in life with Anshu and her family. I wish them the best as she becomes a permanent 3rd wheel in our friendship and am looking forward to the fun we have planned for everyone in the wedding!

Meeting Sagar was not only a privilege but a blessing. Pavan and I first met Sagar in our Physics class in our senior year of high school. We used to wonder who the "new Indian kid" in our class was as he always kept to himself and never really said much. It didn't take long for that shy, monotone color wearing kid to become one of our best friends. We started hanging out with volleyball afternoons, where he met a lot of our other friends. This quickly became the wonderful group of friends we have today! Sagar is one of the most caring, honest and down to earth guys I know. It doesn't take a lot to make him happy... maybe a few dishes of chicken, biryani, raita and four or five desserts a night and you're good to go! But all jokes aside, Sagar and Anshu make a wonderful couple and share the happiness in a way that everyone around them can see. I always say that Anshu is the one who got Sagar to start wearing brighter colors and made him a much happier person. Sagar, I'm glad you've found the girl of your dreams and I am honored to be a part of your special day. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness!

Sagar and I happened to bump heads at the Mattia 3rd floor freshman orientation and we haven't looked back since. Having taken every single class with him through undergrad, I have many fond memories with the Sagar and the happy couple. My fondest memories of Sagar go back to the early days at RU. We were inseparable the first couple weeks. Even before he met Anshu's parents, he met my parents and impressed them by speaking hindi and complementing my mother's culinary skills. There was a period of time when we went to the gym together. He came back one day and got us all riled up about a "pilots" class. Everyone in the room was so confused, "What the heck is a pilots class?" Since we were engineers, we thought that he was talking about an engineering class. It turns out that he was not talking about anything scientific. He wanted to take "Pilates".

Sagar and I were also very envious of the Rutgers Asian Acapella Group(RAAG) and RU Bhangra. We would sit and watch youtube videos of the different performances so that we could get good enough to try out. We even came up with our own tandem Bhangra dance that others have tried to imitate from time to time. Sagar and I enjoyed going to Red Robin our junior/senior years and eating fat sandwiches our freshman/sophomore years. I have known Sagar to be a man of exquisite taste when it comes to food. He has an uncanny ability to filter out every single spice in Indian food and every seasoning when it comes to Italian food. Even though we have taken different paths after graduation, every time I talk to Sagar the conversation still continues from the last time. Congrats to Sagar and Anshu.

I’ve known Sagar since high school, and it wasn’t long before we became good friends. When it comes to mentioning someone with strong character and moral resolve, there’s no one that advocates them more than Sagar. When it comes to someone with a penchant for fright, there’s no one further from it than Sagar. I remember in Rutgers, when our friends circle went through a phase in which we would explore the Weird New Jersey sites. For those not familiar with the sites, it’s a bunch of spooky places in NJ that have an ominous feel to them. Regardless, I remember going to the “Devil’s Tree” with Sagar and a few of my friends and this dude would not leave the car and would start screaming when we opened up his door… moral of the story is that you can trust Sagar with a bank balance but not with a spider, despite being born on Halloween.
