He moved to many places like Kentucky and Korea but in college he moved to Boston, Massachusetts. There he met his wife Pallabi Sanyal. They got married after college and moved to San Diego, CA in June 2008. They took a plane and it took 6 hours. Why did they move? Sourav didn't want to live in the east coast anymore. He chose California because there's good technology there and Pallabi could do her medical residency program at a hospital. He also liked that there were many national park and hikes close by. Very outdoorsy state! At first, Sourav HATED his job. Pallabi was always at work so he was always lonely. He had no friends. For Pallabi, it was a big transition from the east coast because she was far from where her parents live. To this day they still live in the house where she grew up. 2 years later, Sourav got a new job. Both parents said they felt like they belonged in CA in one year. Sourav feels like his identity and interests are represented BIG Time in California! Pallabi feels like San Francisco is not as diverse as Boston and feels there are fewer Indians here in SF. Sourav felt used to that because he has a similar experience in MI. ]]> 2022-10-05 22:26:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jennybennett1/mqxqn3ru48gxbdws/wish/2328352071 Boston, MA jennybennett1 https://padlet.com/jennybennett1/mqxqn3ru48gxbdws/wish/2328352444 Sourav Dey was born in Midland, MI.
