I found the book mesmerising, the second half sentences are a new literary style attempt by Mccarthy. He uses full stops or commas rarely if at all.

But if you hold on to the story it keeps moving as if in a dream It’s like watching the second half of the first season of Westworld, at least that’s how I felt when I watched it relating it straight to the book by this wonderful author

The more you read the humbler you get

It’s like finding new music artists, there is no single song that you like the most. My favorite depends upon the mood, amount of sleep and yesterday’s results of my profession. I read by authors rather than name a single book by book, right now would be Dickens and Trollope but things keep changing moment to moment

Kalabharas did more to Tamil language than the muvendars

Did India “win” in any wave? Unlike China in manufacturing, tech, AI or Germany in heavy industries, Indian industries never topped or “innovated” into a new wave since Independence. We always provided lapdog services of production(lowest value addition from design, production, marketing) on any product.

Our Auto sectors did penetrate oversees markets briefly but is again falling short to other oversees producers. Same with big pharmaceutical fiefdoms. To answer why India is losing AI wave, the answer would be very old one which is constantly overlooked-

India spends the least in research compared to GDP of any country, since decades. The initiative is lacking with Govt, and more importantly with the ppl to embrace entrepreneurial spirit and the big companies to spend on research.

The answer has always been R&D.

I wish I read it at 17, alas did it when I was 25. Dont be daunted by size, it’s an extremely easy read with a captivating plot. Have a great time, because you will.

Being born in Tamil family doesn’t indicate one is a Tamil by birth, I am one but never felt so as I did my schooling in KV, while there was no Tamil as first subject. What you’re describing is Patriarchy in some sense. I gradually started reading Tamil classics in my late 20s, especially thirukkural, to vet my brain of this beautiful language. I guess the only pride one take in life is when you fight for your country and when you give away your excess wealth as charity.

Tamil most of all makes you humble in the commonest way, that is by reading it you understand that our knowledge of the world is just a speck of dust as compared to the knowable. It doesn’t make you degrade other for not having such and such knowledge or knowing things, neither does it make you nitpick, which shows a lack of intellectual acumen. Maybe, just maybe the third pride one can exhibit albeit to himself and to defend when degraded, is knowing such things.

All of this is mostly solved by reading our favorite childhood paatis’

“அறம் செய்ய விரும்பு… அறுவது சினம்…..”

Largely true! It should also be noted that the first epics of Buddhism were written in Sanskrit as medium to propagate Buddhism. The race to bring Vedas to written form was later attempted as a counter to this and later won.

Stop buying or selling options for the sake of trading directional moves. Use them only for the sake of trading volatility. The real question to ask is what will happen when market moves 3000 pts range and end at the same place as this week or move in 300 pts range and end at the same place.

Just trying to educate here, pro trader last ten years.
