Polished transcript:

Male Female

When I just joined college, I met Saloni Vonson. She was my roommate at first, and when I first met her, I had an instant connection with her. She was such a joyful person and always excited to explore and do a lot of things, both of which we had in common. So it was an instant connection. I would say she is a very intelligent person, mostly a class topper. During that time, she helped me a lot throughout my studies, especially in subjects like mathematics. She used to sit with me before my exams and help me. We had such a great bond that within a short span of time, we were also emotionally connected, and we used to discuss many things and problems we were facing every day. It could be family issues or any relationship issues. We were able to discuss that really well. I would say my whole college life was so much better because of her, and she is my friend now. Currently, I am living with her and sharing an apartment with her in Bangalore, and I think she is a friend that will stay forever.
