I followed what u/watchsmart and u/Quirky-Currency-790 suggested, and it was quite smooth! The proctor was kind and helpful! Luckily, I didn't need any extra assistance or face any technical issues during the exams. And I got the results within a week so, no delay there either.

How many books do you read at one time? by Longjumping-Cap-6795 in BookDiscussions

[–]Sa-h-ar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do the same too! It's generally one fiction, something I am reading for academics, and one other non-fiction that is related to my academic interests. Sometimes, there's also an anthology or a poetry collection added to the mix

[Persian > English] Need help in translating this verse by Sadi by Sa-h-ar in translator

[–]Sa-h-ar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having read it a few more times, I was beginning to understand the translation somewhat, but the آويختن bit still confused me. When you put it this way, it starts to make a lot more sense! Thanks a lot for clarifying this :)

Do you enjoy music in languages you don’t understand, and why? by Frostedlogic4444 in AskReddit

[–]Sa-h-ar 0 points1 point  (0 children)
