With Gratitude
To Those Who Walk Beside Me
Dear Family and Friends,
As I stand at the doorstep of my 60th year, I’m filled with immense gratitude and joy. They say life begins at 60—though my knees didn’t get that memo! 😄
To My Beloved Wife
Thank you for being my rock, my compass, and my speed breaker when I get ahead of myself. Your practical wisdom balances my tech enthusiasm, and together, we’ve built something truly special. You keep me grounded, and I keep pushing buttons—literally and figuratively!
To My Children
Watching you grow has been life’s greatest gift. Your achievements make me proud, and your dreams keep me young at heart. Sometimes, I wonder who’s raising whom in this journey of life.
To My Siblings
Born the youngest of nine, I’ve been lucky to be surrounded by love, laughter, and the wisdom of my brothers and sisters. Two sisters—one of whom we dearly miss—and six brothers (with two still by my side today) have filled my life with unforgettable moments. And with nephews, nieces, and their wonderful children, our family tree has become a flourishing forest of joy.
To My In-Laws
From strangers to family, we’ve shared countless cups of chai, hearty laughs, and loud, lively celebrations. My wife’s family—with her eight sisters, five brothers, and all their children—has added even more warmth, wisdom, and sometimes, confusion over who’s who! 😄 Together, we’ve created a wonderfully chaotic and loving clan.
To My Friends
Some of you have been on this ride since we had more hair and fewer responsibilities. Thank you for the memories, the mischief, and the friendship that has only grown stronger with time.
To My Parents
Though you’re no longer with us, your love and teachings live in everything I do. Your blessings have guided me through every twist and turn. I carry you with me, always.
Reflections at 60
As I celebrate this milestone, I’m not just counting years—I’m counting blessings. Each one of you has contributed to my story, and this website is my way of sharing that joy with you. Here’s to 60 years of adventures, mishaps, victories, and life lessons. They say wisdom comes with age—but clearly, mine is still downloading! 😉
With heartfelt gratitude and joy,
Santosh
P.S.
Turning 60 doesn’t mean I’m slowing down. So don’t be surprised if you hear me saying: “I’ve got a new project in mind…”
Brace yourselves! 😄

MUSICAL JOURNEY
जब तुम नहीं होती
ये घर खामोश रहता है
उदास लगता हर कोना
कोई संगीत नहीं बजता
जब तुम नहीं होती
सुबह चाय का प्याला
रह जाए तलब बनकर
दूधवाला जगाता है
जब तुम नहीं होती
कभी ये नहीं मिलता
कभी वो नहीं पाता
कहाँ छुप जाती सब चीजें
जब तुम नहीं होती
यूँ तो बड़े प्यार से
खिलाते सब रोटियां
कहाँ नमक खो जाता
जब तुम नहीं होती
मेरी याद की सारे
बड़ी तारीफ़ करते है
सब भूल जाता हूँ
जब तुम नही होती
बिखर जाती है कैसे
जाने घर की सब चीजें
मनों धूल जम जाती
जब तुम नहीं होती
तुम्हारे होने का अहसास
होता नींद में अक्सर पर
तकिया हाथ आता है
जब तुम नहीं होती
Gifts Money Can’t Buy
On my 60th birthday, I’m not asking for things. I’m asking for something far more precious — a piece of you.
✍️ A two-line poem written just for me
🤗 A big hug when you walk in
🎤 A 60-second voice note with your favorite memory
💌 A handwritten letter, old photo, or even a secret wish for my next 60
❤️ Telling me one thing I did that made a difference in your life
☕ A memory you’ve never told me before.
Bring or upload the most embarrassing or wacky old photo you have of us together.
🎶 Singing two lines of a song that reminds you of me
🖋️ Writing “One Word” you associate with me — and why
📖 Bringing a book you love, with a note tucked inside
🧠 Teaching me something small — a phrase, trick, joke, or recipe
🙏 A quiet blessing on a card, anonymous or signed
😂 Sharing a story where we laughed till we cried
🥂 A toast — spontaneous or scripted — during the evening
Share a moment when something between us—big or small—made a positive ripple in your life.
🌱 A "Future Promise" — something we’ll do together in the next year
Tell me about a time when you felt proud to know me (and I'll cherish every word).
This one is left free for you to imagine :)

THE SPARK THAT NEVER FADES
From the 80s radio mic to today’s AI mic, I’ve never stopped exploring.
Age may change the pitch, but not the song within.
HEARTSTRINGS OVER HEADLINES
While the world chased titles, I held onto people.
Bonds I built — not things I bought — gave my life its richest chapters.
MISTAKES, MILESTONES & MAGIC
Some lessons came wrapped in laughter. Some in pain.
But each one layered my life with stories worth retelling.
THE VIEW FROM HERE
At 60, I don’t chase more. I cherish deeper.
I don’t look back with ‘what ifs’, only with ‘thank yous’.
