I am Karthik UJ

An undergraduate student living in India. Came a long way from running automated "hacking tools" to learning how stuff works and exploiting them. I also have a knack for programming, which I utilise to earn some money and make life easier. Besides this I like watching anime, movies, series and love learning new things. Psst... the graphic on the right changes every day of the month.

Wassup Karthik?

Recently I have started reading a bit more, my ongoing read being Vagabonding by Rolf Potts. Besides this the recent crypto laws (30% tax in profits from digital assets) in India has screwed us over, but the silver lining being that it hasn't totally been banned.
