UGC-NET is the worst exam in the world. I will never forget the traumatic days and nights I gave to it. Now, when ppl come to ask me for tips to prepare, I sigh with relief for myself and in anticipation of their days and nights ahead. #UGCNET #NET #NTA #PhD #indianacademic

This will also lead to more applicants twice a year, a huge mismatch between PhD Programme disciplines and the (lack of) existing NET exams for certain subjects and massive cut-off inflation for PhD admissions. Worst qualifying exam ever.

This is going to be one of the books I shall remember for a very long time. And I hope this book gets a larger reading audience. I hope the world reads this if they wish to get inside the mind of a child- ever so expansive in its limited size. @seagullbooks #slovak #translation

Unbelievably brilliant portrait of a divorced Irish mother leaving everything behind to test the waters of freedom in France. I can imagine why it was banned in Ireland upon its pub in 1965. Reminded me of Hot Milk by D.Levy. #BookTwitter #booktwt #EdnaOBrien #Irish @FaberBooks

My erstwhile experience with Desai has not been the most pleasant but this one seems intriguing. It’s pulled me in both by its plot and the final cover THAT I yearn for! Out from @PanMacIndia in July,2024. #BookoftheDay #book #booktwt #bookspotlight #IndianWritinginEnglish

@BarryPierce Haha! Yes! The culture of economy-of-words in literature is geared at catering to the TikTok-attention-span audience.
