Hello everyone
I would like to thank everyone for their support so far. It has meant a lot. After the news about my university losing its UGC status broke I received messages from well-wishers and friends about how I can handle the situation.
So far, the most likely approach seems to be to do Bachelors all over again, as alternative options in Europe are either very expensive [in Sweden] or very few to begin with [in other EU countries]. With Germany, I can get opportunity to study free of tuition, and given the financial situation, that maybe the best I can do.
If you are wondering, non-EU western countries are ridiculously expensive, even more than Sweden to study in.
Issue is, if I am forced to go for Bachelors all over again, banks would not be enthusiastic to give loan for a second Bachelors! So, in order to address this, since I will not have enough time to gather funds once I get the offer letter, I have started a GoFundMe campaign (with help of a friend in Netherlands, as GoFundMe does not operate in India).
Here is link to my GoFundMe page, with the full story of my situation and why I need help.

So far I am already 26% of the way in, which is very assuring. This is because of generosity of Morbid Zoo's promotion of my GoFundMe at the end of their latest video. So a huge shout out to Morbid Zoo's Mariana Collins, she is awesome!
If you can spare an extra 5 bucks, that would be received with a lot of gratitude. Otherwise, please consider promoting and amplifying it within your means!

I know this is very much outside the purview of what's usually posted here, but if you happen to have a little extra cash on hand, please donate it to a friend of mine trying to get out of a rough situation.
Still life paintings by British-American artist Edwin Deakin. He's a bit better known for his architecture and landscape paintings, but I think his talent shines best when applied to the still life genre.
