Then & Now - 2
Wednesday, November 30, 2016
I think, this sabbatical calls for a much awaited part-II of Then & Now.
Then (Circa 2014):
Snobster is an erstwhile drinker with a writing problem. At some point, she went to a film school, where she studied everything, except how to make a 100 crore blockbuster film. This is the pegging point of all the problems in her life ever.
Since then, she discontinued playing the bass guitar and, dabbled between directing film and television screenplay(s), submitting assignments on Balter Wenjamin, producing ‘aww’ brand of birthday videos for family and friends, editing (now) defunct magazine. She moved to hustle in the diabolic world of startups. There, she couldn’t fathom how they wouldn’t wear shorts to work. It is then she called it quits and has been gracefully wearing her work shorts to graduate school.
She now moonlights as a research scholar during the night, and proudly tells everyone her story- "From riches to rags”, during the day. She’s known to be a stickler for detail and highly irritable when her demands for oral hygiene are not met post midnight. It’s possible you looked her up on one of the aforementioned detail and that has brought you down to reading this. In case it hasn’t, then shame on you for stalking her. Get a real job or something.
Now (Circa 2016)
Snobster is an erstwhile drinker with a writing problem. Started writing 'the' blog at 16, Snobster gave this page and various universities enough fucks for nine years and three months. At some point during that period she went to a film school and studied everything, except how to make a 100 crore blockbuster film. This is the pegging point of all the problems in her life, ever.
Neither with writing, nor her relationship with cinema was working out. She then took a break from both the loves of her life; only to realize she’s lost three precious months in the process. While she doesn’t fully regret the decision yet, she misses wearing shorts every day. She is also very aware that she can do much better. For example, a PhD.
Currently, she is employed as a researcher, albeit on ‘probation’. She sincerely hopes she fails to make that into a permanent position so she can rekindle her old comfy relationships immediately. It’s possible you looked her up on one of the aforementioned detail and that has brought you down to reading this. In case it hasn’t, then shame on you for stalking her. Get a real job or something.
