Welcome to Sarath Babu's Lifestyle Blog

Those who have watched the Season 1 of Virgin Bhasskar last year would surely have continued watching all the episodes that were aired till date on ZEE5. This lock down made me to sit and browse through all of those which received rave reviews and the ones which had an unusual title and this is where I zeroed in on Virgin Bhasskar . Image Credit – ZEE5 One of the other reasons as to why I have been using ZEE5 is because of the freshness and variety on the content, it offers. Apart from that, the platform also offers content in various languages including Tamil and Telugu.  If you still wanted to watch them in its original language, you can still do it by enabling English subtitles. What more could you ask for? Coming to the content of this original. I thoroughly loved the performance of the lead characters who essayed the roles of Bhasskar Tripathi, Vidhi Pandey, Pakhi, Batuknath, Rohan and Mishra . The show does not shy against talking about the reality and most importantly as t...

  Title - Petite a Petit : Little by Little Author - Ambica Uppal Genre - Poems Publisher - Notion Press ISBN -  978-1646509539 This is a collection of 75 poems which would make a worthy read. The poems are centered on themes like self-love, self-confidence and most importantly taking life into your own hands(wordings as per the poetess/author which I don't have any right to change and hence mentioning it as it is). So, the message is loud and clear. The poems that find its mention in this book aren't mere words but a powerful compilation which would slowly take you into the author's world, which isn't an illusion... I like dreading all of them but wanted to mention about a few in order to prove that my praising over these aren't exaggerated but is driven by the magnetic lines which is definitely worth your time and money. To begin with, I must mention that the book is divided into 5 parts and each part carries few poems under it's head. They are: Petit a Petit ...

  Title - Jujube : The Journey to Joyful Being Author - P C Balasubramanian Genre - Personality Development / Self Help Publisher - NotionPress ASIN -  B08DJDWTH8 This is the 5th book by the author. The other four were G rand Brand Rajini, Rajini's Punchtantra, Ready...Steady...Exit and A Drizzle in the Desert . I had an opportunity to review  A Drizzle in the Desert . The title of this book is an intriguing one. Isn't it? Firstly, you might be able to reconnect it with the Sweet/Fruit you would have had when you were a kid and secondly, if you are a fan of Super Star Rajinikanth, you would have heard him using this word in some of his movies. When I started reading it, I noticed something unique about this book. Yes. It is the way, the book was presented. Though the content may not be new, the way it is presented would make you read and retrospect. What makes this book stand apart from others are the following factors: 1. Each chapter begins with a quote from a famous p...

  Title - Waves, Sand & Magic Author - Neeraja Kona Genre - Poems Publisher - Notion Press ISBN - 978-1-64850-968-1 This book is a collection of 101 poems which would make you read them over and over again. I could see the difference(in terms of approach) in each and every poem though the subject is more or less the same. When you write so many poems, it is always difficult to maintain the rhythm/tempo but Neeraja has not failed to impress with each and every poem showing the consistency. Though I would like to mention all the poems, I would not do it because it is you - the readers who need to buy a copy, to appreciate her writing. If only I wasn't married, I might have used some of them to woo my girl( of course with the permission of the author) . Among all of them, I liked these poems(in no particular order): 1. Movie 2. Dare 3. Feel 4. One Word 5. Blur 6. Only You 7. Airport 8. Hand 9. Simplicity 10. Not 11. Choose 12. Us 13. Warning 14. Lovers and 15. Tattoo I wouldn'...

  Book Title -Dear River : Love, Loss & Spirituality Author - Heather Drummond Genre - Spiritual Publisher - Directory Publishers ISBN -  978-1616113209 This book is certainly one of its kind. Though this book is an autobiography which naturally means is based on true accounts, you would never feel bored because of the contents it has to offer which is Universal. This book is written by Heather Drummond to pass on her knowledge and learning to her son  River . She is married happily to Garth Drummond. Though this book was written in 2011 before the arrival of Dune(second kid of the author), the content stands good till date. The book has 90 chapters with 240 pages (no chapter is lengthier than 4 pages except 2). The book encompasses ideologies from Christianity, Christian Science coupled with Yoga and Meditation which she learned from The Art Of Living. To start with, I liked this quote in the book: “ All these practices, all the knowledge in the world is available to...
