Shots

How many shots do you get?

First shot, I gave it my all, although it wasn't what I wanted. They wrote my name and then cut it. I didn't mind (that much).

Second shot, I knew I wasn't what they wanted, but I gave it a shot anyway. They wanted me, but I refused. They didn't mind. I didn't mind either because I knew, after two, the third was coming. It would just be a matter of time. And I would be ready.

I didn't expect it to come so soon. And I sure as hell didn't expect to turn down the offer at the shot barely seconds into being offered it. It was disconcerting, but again, what they offered wasn't what I wanted.

And so I wait, for the next one to come along...

Hungerpath...

I finished reading The Hunger Games trilogy at a break-neck pace last week. I'd have liked it even more than I did if not for the fact that it followed my reading of A Song of Ice and Fire. Its good, but its just not that good. But I can definitely see its appeal for a 'young adult' audience, although my main complaint with Katniss is that most of the time, she simply doesn't do anything! Read the book and tell me I'm wrong. But yeah, she's a super-woman compared to Bella, so I guess its not all that bad. 

My major take-away from the book is this: Katniss Everdeen is a female Vijay Deenanath Chauhan. 

Don't believe me? Here:

President Snow on Katniss (Book Two): Katniss Everdeen, the girl who was on fire, you have provided a spark that, left unattended, may grow to an inferno that destroys Panem.

Anna Shetty on Vijay: Dekho. Socho. Yeh chokra aaj chingari hai. Kal bada bankar hum sabko zinda jala diya toh kya karenge?

Any questions?

You're already outdated, Muthu...

Just as Muthuball comes into the picture, here's the latest: 


Moneyball 2.0: How Missile Tracking Cameras Are Remaking The NBA


Go read. Oh, and the creators would like it if you referred to it as Moneyball Plus, thank you very much. 


I think these two taken together have a lot of potential. Muthuball could help determine the draft picks for various teams and Moneyball+ would then get to work on improving their game. 


Now can someone tell Kobe and the Buss family there's something out there that they can spend money and get their hands on to win another title?
