Sarath Babu

नमस्ते, I'm Sarath Babu C Sarath Babu (Chidatala Sarath Babu), a portrait

Enjoying building tech , happens to be a security nerd with too much thinking . Currently flowing with Alaiy. Mostly still figuring things out.

“Everything I believe came from somewhere else. I'm still checking which parts are mine.”

I loved technology from childhood itself. Not just computer science. Every kind of technology that comes with us.

I loved watching Kiteretsu (the inventor) and wanted to build so many of the coolest things.

Then a question started sitting with me. If a technology is going mechanical, what is the ideal path? To protect it, or to master it to protect it? That is where I found cybersecurity. You need to understand so much stuff to protect other stuff. So I started with that.

Protecting systems meant understanding how they actually worked, and that question didn't stay inside computers. It followed me into philosophy. I read a lot of philosophers, and a lot of writers who asked the same questions in Telugu. One of them, Sri Sri, wrote about the world in a way I hadn't seen before, not as something to accept, but something to keep questioning.

I was born into one tradition and never chose it. Billions of people were born into other traditions (religions) and never chose theirs either. So I practiced each one for six months. Every one had answers. Every one contradicted the others.

That's when the question changed for me. Not which answer is right, but who was asking before any of them.
