Our dreams finally kicked off… dunno where it ll all go but these days it keeps me occupied day n night. we plan to shoot off primarily three areas of software industry.
1. 3d Computer Graphics - 3d Graphics / Video special effects Rendering / Opengl Game Programming
2. Application Development - Artificial Intelligence supported applications(mostly)
3. E - Learning in India - Promoting e-learning solutions

One of these which drives our vehicle is the first one ofcourse, but that needs a lot of patience, time, energy and commitment. According to our recent projections, we will need atleast one year to accomplish ourselves as well prepared team and undertake a big project. Right now we are focussing on building a First person shooter pushing the taste of patriotism which drives indian soldiers like from the film 'Lakshya' by Farhan Akhtar starring Hrithik Roshan. Though India has been in the frame of software fraternity, n is known for being an important contributor to the software comminity all over the world, hasnt been able to focus on the Game industry, when it comes to records. We also plan to use our software skills in producing good special effects for videos n movies, n all this demands lil time and capital.
E-learning, well this is something which i wasnt too much into… until Vikram pulled n pushed me into it. Vikram has a good bunch of around 1500 members on his site www.vidyaweb.com devoted to DOEACC course in India. He is a great fellow n wants to do something fruitful for the society. Now.. how I met him, is an interesting story which today I wont get into. We oughta give evolve to a better species than we are .. n that can be only done if ppl are more connected, attentive n ready to take responsibilities. E-Learning is someting that he feels, is our duty to promote to build a better awareness in the society.

How it all started :

I was in my first year of graduation when i got access to a pc, playing games … all sort of games was my favourite passtime, sometimes i wasnt able to finish all levels, this is when i started training them, n eventually got interested in creating loaders, n runtime patchers which involved a lot of reading n experimenting with Softice.My favourite set of chisel and hammer were IDA and Softice.
I was suggested to try my hands on programming by my brother-in-law. Since i had tasted the blood of software security, i was pulled into it completely. This was the time when I started programming Assembly. Yahoo's Hacker's lounge was a hangout where i met fellow ppl with same taste.However, rarely would u find something worthy discussed over there ..nothing much technical, except a few.
Neverthess, it wasnt a bad experience, after all it was a lounge .. a place where we rested n killed our time also killed some bugs, crashed some computers … My daily schedule started n ended sitting right infront of the computer, posting at boards, taking challenges, reading articles, writing software n surfing internet.It was at one of such forums where a challenge involved artificial intelligence attracted me a lot towards it… i spent most of my time getting the heck of it .. but i must say .. the time was worth spending. things really paid off - since the feeling of creating somthing like that was an achivement … that spl feeling cant be put into words.
So this is how i was pulled into something which now drives me the whole day - better than any fuel around.The punch line is Stay hungry, Stay foolish.
