Santhosh was never a romantic hero. A quiet observer from Chennai, he grew up believing love was something that only happened to other people. After a heartbreak in his youth broke his trust, he shut the door on romance and hid behind the success of his IT career. But destiny was already walking a path toward him, 120 kilometers away.

She entered his life not as a soft romance, but as a remembered destiny—a girl in a grey chudidhar with fierce eyes and a stubborn heart. From a chance meeting at a family wedding to a "Send Request" on Facebook, their story is one of gradual realization.

It Was Always You is more than a love story; it is a raw and honest memoir of:

The Power of Persistence: From family rejections to the pressures of UPSC exams.

Healing Together: Standing between fear and comfort, learning to protect the person you love.

Growing a Home: Navigating the transition from lovers to parents, and the sacrifices made to build a life together.

This is a reminder that love is not found—it is grown. It is for anyone who believes that some relationships are meant to be broken, healed, tested, and returned.
