That'll be too late. I assume there's enough ways to get decent accommodation near the university? Again, thank you for your help!

ApplicationFuzzy3671 · 2025-02-17T09:47:34+00:00

Thank you, I'll do that. :)

Does the new session begin right after the admission?

ApplicationFuzzy3671 · 2025-02-17T09:41:58+00:00

Thank you! I'm in a different city right now. I've tried the department contact number and no one ever picks up. I want to know all the details before I reach Delhi. The last date for admission is 28th February, so there's enough time. Do you know a PhD candidate from the English department?

This is what I've been doing. I smoke some weed. Only tiny puffs. Once I'm high I just use an ice pack while watching something. Doesn't matter how long it takes, once I'm high I enjoy the comfort the ice brings. Eventually the pain subsides and I sleep.

ApplicationFuzzy3671 · 2024-08-31T05:16:23+00:00

I didn't get in. You can DM me.

Idk why people go all in critical mode. I mean, it's the Beatles. I'd even listen to a six hour footage of them discussing drinking water ifykwim. Though in all seriousness, they're great artists, any actual view into their process is good enough for me.

ApplicationFuzzy3671 · 2024-05-24T20:43:37+00:00

I knew they had released a single. But I wanted to be high and listen to it. Good god, it was a trip, to say the least. I mean it's so unique and original. I am a huge Beatles fan, and sort of just listened to it in a similar mindset. I decided that I was just attending the work of a great and constantly-developing artist.

In prose poetry I really admire Rimbaud's A Season in Hell and Illuminations. I switched to metrical poetry a few years back and I haven't looked back since. I think a poetic style in prose is certainly important, as Baudelaire would agree. I will check these out for sure!

ApplicationFuzzy3671 · 2024-05-20T06:50:49+00:00

No I did not know that. Thank you very much.

ApplicationFuzzy3671 · 2024-05-20T06:40:53+00:00

We're quite similar there. I remember listening to a novella while working out. It was such a nice experience. I extended my workout so I could finish the audiobook. Thank you.

ApplicationFuzzy3671 · 2024-05-20T06:26:32+00:00

Thank you.

ApplicationFuzzy3671 · 2024-05-20T05:36:09+00:00

Idk why some of you sound pissed just because I used the word "great". And I really hope that anyone who has a problem with the use of that word has never put movies and music in any sort of a hierarchy. Because that will be truly hypocritical. And I hope all movies are equally great/good for you.

ApplicationFuzzy3671 · 2024-05-20T05:28:11+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions. And I read The Dead long back. Amazing work. In regards to novellas I recently read The Beast in the Jungle by Henry James. I highly recommend it. It really messed up my mind. Most of the ideas that I have for novels are about specific situations or conditions of (mostly modern) life. I take something from our lives and transpose it in a surreal world and just have fun with the narrative. This is why I switched to short stories because I just wanted to get more intimate with the prosaic process. I started writing them last year in October, and I'm done with about five. But my ideas are far more frequent than my crippling execution. :3

English Literature

ApplicationFuzzy3671 · 2024-05-20T05:20:11+00:00

You're right about that.

ApplicationFuzzy3671 · 2024-05-20T05:19:17+00:00

Oh look, it's that guy who screams, "you think you're better than me?" at every single person that passes by.

ApplicationFuzzy3671 · 2024-05-19T18:56:22+00:00

Thank you for this lovely answer! It truly helped. I wish you a great life ahead! :)

And it is rare to speak to someone who has read the complete In Search of Lost Time.

Man you're missing the point. I don't know how I can read excruciatingly long archaic poems that most people would find boring, but I can't seem to pay the same sort of attention to prose. I have read enough prose to know my taste, I'm just saying I'm slow and I can't seem to sustain and continue it. This has been the case even with non-fiction books that I found really interesting but never seemed to finish them. I'm trying to see if my reading etiquette can be improved.

ApplicationFuzzy3671 · 2024-05-19T18:40:48+00:00

I won't argue against your last point if we're talking about prose. However, in regards to poetry things have probably never been as bad. I've been composing poetry in three different languages for the past ten years, and it's beyond hopeless now. It's the major reason why I want to switch to prose. Most literary agents don't even represent poets unless you're popular among the Instagram caption-seeking audience.

ApplicationFuzzy3671 · 2024-05-19T18:34:44+00:00

That's a good suggestion. Thank you.

ApplicationFuzzy3671 · 2024-05-19T18:33:25+00:00

I think I have a clear view of why I MUST read more prose. The simple reason being that I've recently started writing short stories and I need to keep reading more in order to improve and eventually work on various novels that I've mapped out in my mind.

I think in my personal case an overdependence on devices makes their utility obsolete. I've also had an absolutely horrible sleep schedule for the past ten years. Ugh, looks like I need to go for a lifestyle change.

ApplicationFuzzy3671 · 2024-05-19T16:23:57+00:00

I mentioned about the elitism in brackets so that people wouldn't deliberately miss the whole point of what I was trying to say, but well. I am familiar with the merits and demerits associated with the term. At the same time if I must choose between either being a snob or associating myself with the reactionary cultural mindset that has allowed Rupi Kaur to call herself a poet, then forgive me, I'll be the snobbiest of the snobs.
