Santhosh's Blog (2009-2018)

So here I am... listening to the soundtrack of Luke Cage (Season 1), looking at the calendar, and telling myself: "Wow... half of October is done already? That leaves me with two and a half months before 2016 ends." I sigh, give myself some really quick pep talk in my head for 5-10 seconds, and carry on with what I was wanting to work on on the good ol' reliable laptop. I get this feeling that 2016 has not been a really good year for a lot of people... and I really hope that you, the one reading this post, do not fall under this category of people. If so, I'm really happy for you, and I really hope the year ends in a similar manner for you. But this is for those who have also had a difficult year, and who feel like they haven't done as well as they would have wanted to. Here's the good news: it's still not all that bad! Enjoy the read :-) (Click on Continue Reading or Read More, to proceed to the full post)

Hello Readers! Hope you guys are doing good. To begin this post on a "happy note", I just realized a while ago that I recently completed 5 months here in Bengaluru! As you may have realized through my last Lifeblog posts, the last few months have been nothing less than dramatic, crazy, or eventful. But then again, call me old-fashioned, but I still look at the many positives which came out of them, despite the "negatives" having outnumbered the "positives". But my life goal of "sustaining Happiness" (which happens to be the meaning of my name, something I keep obsessing in almost every blog post these days) is something that keeps me motivated, and I will obviously hope to have a happier set of "Bangalore Days" in the coming months! This blog post will be divided in 3 parts: Smiles, Distance, and key Takeaways from the previous two parts. (Click on READ MORE to continue reading)

Hello Readers! So here I am... publishing this blog post on 13th July 2015, with tons of pride. I am two days away from completing two months in this "loveable chaos" called Bengaluru. I remember using this analogy many years back, when I had first started this blog in 2009: "Life is a rollercoaster ride" . To be honest, I cannot think of any other analogy even now. My two months here have been nothing but an "emotional rollercoaster". Every single day has been a learning curve for me. It was very difficult, initially. But currently, I am honestly loving the vibes (good and bad) I am getting all around me! Coming from a tiny and quite boring city called Geneva, moving to the "larger-than-life" Bangalore was never going to be easy... but I am pleasantly surprised at the unexpected changes I have been going through. In Geneva, I was very lazy, not very driven, and not too outgoing. Now in Bangalore. I am one of the first ones to wake up...

Hello Readers! Now that I've caught your attention, please continue to read ok? (Hehe) This is one is mainly dedicated to my sweet father, my passionate mother and my awesome sister. And obviously to all those well-wishers all around me. I have been working on these two covers since quite some time. Check it out, and get back to me when you can. Love and regards to all of the ones who mean a lot to me. Let me list them here, by name if possible: - Those who make me smile - Those who make me laugh - Those who have been there for me (for a long time, or for a short period) - The people who bonded with me on a very fun level - Those who made me cry, but made me feel light and gave me a shoulder to cry on - Those who inspire me - Those who support my family - Those who make my parents happy - Those who make fun of my sister in order to make her smile - Those who call me Santa, and who know the importance of such a nickname eventually Well I did say "if possible...
