New year's first post - 2011

A new year and a new decade has started. Its 2011 - year of new developments, creations, fun, gaming, chatting, surfing, and lots of opportunities and targets. This year has started with a trip to IIT-B's TECHFEST 2011 ( for the 3rd time :P ). It was a yet another great experience but with a twist. As there were no software events, I decided to take part in a mechanical event this time called FULCRUM - An event where we had to create a crane from ice-cream sticks :). I together with my friends Ankit and Nishant made a crane that was somewhat awesome being a first attempt though it failed to lift the required weight. Nevertheless, building it was fun and I enjoyed a lot. This is a pic of our crane.

You can count the number of ice creams we had to eat ;)

And now back from TECHFEST, its time to dive into some serious stuff. Just to keep a record of what my plans are for this year, here is a list of it.

1. More blogging, writing tutorials for blogs and forums.
2. Be active on programming forums like actionscript.org, dreamincode.in etc
3. Create a playable MMORPG in flash. (tough job).
4. Do some freelancing stuff.
5. Improve my website...make it better in looks and functionality.
6. Develop Rickshaw Brawl into a complete full version game.
7. May be apply or at least prepare for a job in gaming companies.
8. Work on my aptitude skills :P
9. Develop some AIR applications for the Intel AppUp store and Adobe Marketplace.
10. Participate in as many GAME JAMs as possible. Cool thing >:D
11. Register my own game company...not sure though.
12. And lots of lots of learning the whole year - new languages, hacks, games, etc.

EDIT:

1. Become a caricature expert :)

NOTE : These are in no order of priority.
Lets see how the year goes. All the best to all for their plans.

Happy New Year everyone !
Keep Flashing !

Cheers !

AVENSIS 2010

Avensis 2010 - our technical fest ended day before yesterday. Ye pehla fest hoga 3 saalon mein jismen maine itna kaam kiya hai :P Well this fest thought a lot of things. Most importantly I learned some skills of MaNaGeMeNT (One thing I hate the most). Reason - I along with my friends Ankit,Anshul,Nishant and Shobhit organised the first ever online event in MSIT's technical fest this year. And yes we named it BRAINSTORM >:D



BRAINSTORM ran for 9 long days involving participation of 300+ students from various colleges. Those 9 days were really a great experience for me and I guess for my friends too :)
We had quite a fun doing it. Posters print karana, college main idhar-udhar chipkana, internet pe prachaar karna (Marketing is really a tough job :S), 9 days constantly web system ko monitor karna, forum update karna, bugs and problems handle karna...pheww. Not to forget one thing which really kept us busy for a few days........DESIGNING QUESTIONS for BRAINSTORM. Humari sach main watttt lag gayi thi doin that :D

Apart from BRAINSTORM, one more thing this fest gave me is a 3rd Win (though not 1st position this time :D hehehe) for my best game till date.......CHEF OF WAR (COW). I won the 3rd prize for COW in SOFT-IMPACT at Avensis. And that was my 1st presentation i guess o_O

Finally all ended with the closing ceremony and pakodaaass :) Will suffer for one more year waiting for AVENSIS 2011 :D Till then hope COW wins 3-4 more times.hahhehehe

A thought
