The story of Navina (left) and Keerhthana (right)
July 2019
“Keerhthana (K): We came to Bratislava for a day trip while we were being on holiday in Vienna and we like it here a lot. Navina (N): We are originally from Denmark where we both study business, language and culture at University. (N+K): We have known each other since we were 6 years old, so it’s about 15 years now. It’s hard to remember what drew us together but I think, we have been stuck with each other ever since we met. We’ve almost never been separate from each other since. (N): We have been in the same classes in primary school, went to the same high school and now the same University. So we have always been together, maybe not on purpose but it just kind of happened. Although, of course, we are both happy that we are this close. (K): I think one of the reasons why we are inseparable is that we know each other so well, that we can’t find another friend that knows us that deeply. I think the secret of our friendship is that we can be open about everything. I don’t need to think about what she thinks of me. I am so open and I don’t really care how I should be around her. I kinda like that. (N): I agree. (K): It’s also interesting that we haven’t had serious fights during all that time. We have different personalities, but we agree on mostly the same things, which is, I think one of the reasons we are not fighting with each other. (N): Yeah, we have different personalities. I am more introverted, and she is more extroverted, but we can see things from each other’s point of view. So we don’t really clash on that point. (K): Yeah, I can be both introverted and extroverted, but I am mostly extroverted, I guess. I like to meet new people.”
