a science fiction novel in tamil by K Sudhakar dealing with wolves, remote mind control and a whole deal of terror behind all those. An interesting, page turning read stuffed with a load of info on bio-chemistry, wild life etc.

Tells the history of our Indian Stock Market From 80s to pre-COVID from a trader’s perspective, covering everything from cartels, reliance, harshad mehta to bubbles, formation of NSE, SEBI and so on. Must book to know about the history so far in a story fashion.
- Learn Javascript in Tamil
written by Nithya long time back in Kaniyam. Had a glance over it, to learn about JS basics which I needed inorder to understand the JS in my dashboard and as well as for XSS payloads as well (I’d been learning about some basics of Web Security, from Cyber Adam as I got interested to know about common vulnerabilities found in webapps and how to check for that in my dashboard which I’d vibed). It’s a good book to get some idea about JS and JQuery.
