Welcome to Sarath Babu's Lifestyle Blog

This is the first ever Regional Meet for me as I have joined Lionism just a month back and when I was told about this by my President Lion K Baskar, I immediately jumped in to grab the opportunity. The grandeur event took place in Feathers Hotel in Ramapuram. When I say Grandeur, I mean it. All credits would go to the Regional Chairperson MJF Lion P Srimurugan who has executed this event with great perfection. We were asked to be in the venue by 8:30AM. I was early, as usual. I along with another member Lion Aadhi Narayana had reached the venue by 8AM. Yes. We were Early Birds . Our Club - Centennial Heroes President Lion K Baskar had also arrived sooner. We were promptly handed over with the coupons. As soon as our President arrived, he started interacting with President of Green City to get to know the status of saplings. What a surprise? It arrived within few minutes :-) We started arranging it quickly. Once the sap...

Title - Shadows of the Northlands Author - Vishwesh Desai Genre - Fantasy Fiction Publisher -  Estrade Publishers Cover Design - Ink Studioz ISBN - 978-93-84557-09-6 Firstly, hats off to the author Vishwesh Desai for penning such a marvellous fantasy fiction which I would compare it with Chronicles of Narnia, Lord of the Rings and the likes of other titles which were penned in the west. The wordings that were used in the novel is simply stunning considering the fact that the author is just 14 years old. What was even more overwhelming is the volume of the story. It isn't ending in 200 pages but is an elaborate one that runs close to 500 pages. Lot of thought process must have gone into this for sure. What I have also liked is the usage of maps in the novel.  As you see in the below pic, The Empire is surrounded by Ehor, Tessamese Kingdom and Northlands. The Empire always had trouble with Tessamese Kingdom and their boundary was protected by military...

Title - The Voice Within Author - Justice Kailash Gambhir Publisher - Universal Law Publishing - an imprint of LexisNexis ISBN - 978-93-5035-612-8 For the first time ever, I am NOT reviewing a book but would be writing as to how I felt reading this book. Having read various laws - Companies Act, Personnel Management and Industrial Laws, Civil Procedure Code(CPC), Criminal Procedure Code(Cr.PC) in B.A(CS), MBA and ACS Intermediate, I could very well connect with most sections mentioned on this book. The reason for me not to Rate or Review this treasure trove is because I firmly believe that no one has the authority to comment on a Judgement given by a Justice unless it is really impeding the real nature of the justice where the intervention is done by the higher authority or commanding eminent like the CJI or The President. For the first time, rather than reading about the outcome of a case as a part of a subject, this book gives the reader a golden opportunity t...

Aircel Blogger Meet took place yesterday(17/11/16) in their Chennai Head Office at Prestige Polygon Towers and we knew there will be lot of things that would be discussed by Mr Sunil Kuttam, National Head - Data & Devices,Aircel.  As soon as I posted the message on my social media channels about this, I could see a flurry of messages asking about new plans that the company would be unleashing. I knew why it was the case - Aircel merger with RCOM is what that has triggered this. As this has been circulated in the news for a while now, it is official and would come into existence from 2017 and this would make the combined entity, the fourth largest player in the Telecom Industry. What is Aircel doing in the Data sector? Plans like 3G@Rs.9 , 1GB for All, 1GB@Rs.24, 5GB for Rs.298, 11GB for Rs.598 & Limit Se Zyada were some of their blockbuster packs making them stand apart from others. Be Online with Aircel is another initiative which has encourage...
