Welcome to Sarath Babu's Lifestyle Blog

Over the past couple of weeks, I have been sharing my experience via my blog post as to how I decided to #ShareTheLoad with my mom who has been instrumental in keeping the household running efficiently. It was only then did I realize as to how much difficult it is to run the day to day chores though it may look easy from outside. After helping my mom with the laundry(which includes drying the folding the clothes) and in maintaining the wardrobe, I decided to do my bit with regards to kitchen.Little did I now by then that I had to face an Himalayan task in mastering them. What did I learn? Firstly, I learned about washing the vessels. It is an art in itself as you need to be real careful as it involves water. You need to save them to the maximum extent possible. How to do it? Do not wash vessels in running water. Apply soap on all the vessels first and then start washing it. Do not wash vessels which can be reused after sometime. Wash all the vessels at the s...

Insurance is a tricky thing to buy, especially when it’s for your one of your most valuable possessions, your car. At times, your car companies offer you insurance solutions which may sound good through the sales person’s perspective, but in reality there’s a lot they are not disclosing. Before you make that final decision, note these below points and then purchase your car insurance:             1.   Your good credit score can save you some money. Practically all car insurance providers pull your credit report. Studies demonstrate an immediate connection between your credit score and the probability that you'll record a claim. Insurance companies believe that in the event that you pay your bills on schedule and have had a similar credit account for a while, you're steadier than somebody who pays late and often opens/closes accounts. This data is utilised to make your "insurance risk score," a factor that decides your insurance rate. 2...

Title - Where Will Man Take Us? Author - Atul Jalan Genre - Engineering & Tech/CS(Non Fiction) Publisher - Penguin India ISBN - 978-0-143-44693-4 A brilliant attempt which is not about the usual topic you would have read or come across so far. What I liked the most about this book was, it wasn't a conventional though it talked about it. The book will take you to the future(to some extent) and author's ability to foresee makes this a revolutionary one. Being into technology himself, author's vision is clear. He discusses in great detail about the pros and cons of technology. Most of them were beneficial but how they were put to good use,is all that matters. The book is divided into five sections namely: 1. The Drivers Of Change 2. The New Society 3. The Magic Of Math 4. The End Of Mystery and 5. The New Man Each of them were subdivided into various chapters. There are 26 chapters in total. The book talks in great detail about Nan...

Title - Fight With Fat Author - Dr Kamal Mahawar Genre - Health/Fitness(Non-Fiction) Publisher - FingerPrint! Publishers ISBN - 978-93-8881-093-7 I have read Dr Kamal's "The Ethical Doctor" back in 2016 and the review for the same could be found here . In his latest book, "Fight With Fat", author speaks about the most pressing situation which the World is facing - Obesity . Gone are the days where, we had healthy food and in fact, our own curd rice is touted to be one of the healthiest food in the world. As a kid, I myself had seen my mother grinding the spices, batter on her own apart from making various pastes using rock vessels(we call it Ammi Kall in Tamil and Rubbu Raai in Telugu). These has been replaced with machinery which has been rightly pointed out by the author. Though this has made our life easier by saving time and effort, it has ed to another trouble. It has reduced the burning of calories as it involves very less physical act...

Title - Wake Up, Life Is Calling Author - Preeti Shenoy Genre - Fiction Publisher - Srishti Publishers ISBN - 978-93-87022-60-7 A simple story but with a powerful message. I have read all the books of the author so far. All I can say is this - Preeti is real good when it comes to narration. It is no wonder that she is one of the Top 5 Authors in India when it comes to book sales. She is certainly a "Master Storyteller" who has shown variations in each and every book of hers that was published so far. The book will send positive vibes to those who has/had the tendency of committing suicide and must be real by all since this phenomenon is common, worldwide irrespective of age and sex. Ankita, the protagonist of the story had a dark past. She drops out of her MBA course and when she joins the course to become an author/writer, she gets Janki and Parul as her friend,on the very first day. While Janki was from an affluent family, Parul's mother was int...

Helping your mom is something you could do in return for all the hard work she has done to raise you. Though it isn't a match, it is something better than nothing. The work of a mom is not limited to just one category but there are many. She is a multi-tasker and you would come to know, only when you start sharing her load. Some of the work, a mom does on a regular basis at home but not limited to includes: 1. Teaching her kids 2. Keeping the home tidy by cleaning the floors with broomstick and then mopping 3. Washing vessels 4. Washing clothes 5. Cooking 6. Handling finances Did I miss anything in the above list? Yes. There is one which I had missed, not deliberately though. After washing the clothes, there are few more things in that process to make it complete.  1. Drying the clothes 2. Folding the clothes 3. Arranging them on the wardrobe Trust me, washing clothes(if you had a washing machine)is much easier compared to the "after...
