Sandalwood

July 13, 2023

During the past five years I was searching for the perfect fragrance, the perfect combination of warm and earthy, woody and herbal notes, something that makes me feel as if I'm in a beautiful forest, even though I'm not right now.

From mainstream perfumes through various niche perfumes I found many interesting fragrances, but none that really captivated me.

By now, all mainstream perfumes seem like a joke to me. A 150€ perfume still mostly smells like synthetic perfume and not much else.

For a furnished apartment with bedroom and kitchen in the outskirts of Mysore, I'm paying 9000 rupees for three nights. That's about 100€.

Confidence

March 28, 2023

I haven't experienced the level of confidence and happiness that I experienced yesterday since I arrived in India. Thank you for helping me get there :)

This morning I woke up at 6:15 to go for a hike to the top of Chamundi hill with Shashank.

Sleep

March 25, 2023

Sleep is currently my preferred escape from reality, it's almost like a simple form of meditation.
