February 2025
Became a German citizen
Proud moment — naturalized in February 2025. The passport is shiny; the queues already feel shorter.
I first came to Germany as an eager Master's student in 2011. Hard to believe it's been more than 13 years already. I feel more German than Indian today and consider Germany my home. Grateful for the journey and the community here. The passport is shiny; the queues already feel shorter — or maybe I've just mastered them.
