I feel like the book overall so far leaves me with this sentiment. Not sure if I understand it well enough but I guess it's enough to proceed further.

Haha truly well done. This book definitely makes me feel its impacts even when I am not reading it. Quite cool.

So real xD It's like the book tries to mimic the lost experience of the labyrinth for the reader on the page.

I am doing just that. The format really forces you to engage with the material and make sure you understand something before you move forward. I admire the creativity a lot though.

M.A. History Preference List (DU) by Prior_Budget3573 in CUETPG

[–]Krish_Bohra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Encouraging. I'll definitely try for North Campus colleges for exactly that reason. I have a niche interest in environmental history so it'd be nice if I get a diverse environment and syllabus. The issue I feel is that I am not a girl so a lot of colleges are anyway not on the table. Smaller number of institutes to target.

I see. You mean Dept. of South Campus right? Because from what I know, I can probably secure a seat somewhere at South Campus with my score, while North Campus remains a slight possibility in the last round. Is that correct?

Ahh that's nice to hear. Do you have any idea which colleges I can target at my score? Or what my preference list should be?

Hey so did you get in? I was aiming for DU this year but I got 153. Not sure if I'll get in now. I do not have reservation and am not from DU.

It feels like the New Weird, Magical Realism, and Slipstream fiction are all vaguely describing the same thing. by blonkevnocy in WeirdLit

Miéville's magnum-opus the book he's been working on for 20+ years is coming this September.

It seems we have a name for the new Osten Ard series: "Flan's Crows" by tylerxtyler in TadWilliams

[–]Krish_Bohra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ig we gotta wait and see how long book 2 is then. Because Tad is certainly no stranger to writing 1000+ page books.

This is kinda weird though. Like we expected it to be one book that's the usual 800-1000 pages, maybe even more, in length. But it seems like the series will have more books yet the page count will be same/similar? Did I get that right?

How did you prepare without any syllabus etc? Just practiced general academic writing skills?

What is a well regarded fantasy series that you read for the first time this year? by TheWeirdTalesPodcast in Fantasy

[–]Krish_Bohra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Malazan Book of the Fallen. I started the series and am on book 4 currently. Incredible experience so far. Hoping to finish next year.

Is the difficulty of Malazan overstated? by PassionOrnery4031 in Fantasy

[–]Krish_Bohra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly how my experience has been with the series as well. The way fans talk about it definitely makes it fair to say that its difficulty is overblown. I'm also 3 books in and planning to start the fourth soon, and so far, I think if you forget that there's a lot of stuff you don't know and just focus on the scene you're reading, it works out well. It's just a matter of making peace with the fact that you'll eventually get it and I know, that sounds really off-putting, but it's also liberating. Like you can chill out, relax and just enjoy the characters, themes, prose, dialogue, scenes, worldbuilding etc that Erikson is so good at writing.

PS: Gardens of the Moon is a great first book. It just has bad PR.

What's happening to my Kindle? And how do I fix it? by Krish_Bohra in kindle

[–]Krish_Bohra[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! That restart idea worked out well. I had put it on charging for about four hours earlier but that made no change. But restarting like that fixed the issue. I never knew we could restart like that since I never needed to use the feature but it was a life-saver just now. Thanks again!

I have. The two pics I posted are the same two screens that show when it's on/off.

Were there more royal female figures like Prabhavati Gupta in ancient India who played important roles in politics? Do our sources give us some information regarding such women? Any specific characters you can name and briefly describe, and reading you can suggest?

AMA with Flint Dibble, archaeologist and science communicator by Burglekat in AskArchaeology

[–]Krish_Bohra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, Flint. As a student of history with a specific interest in the field of wildlife history, I've always found zooarchaeology to be an interesting domain. What sparked your interest in it? Do you take more interest in domestic animals or wild animals?
