Well though this game is to fulfill my fantasies to write video games, this work is dedicated to dudes from WHB community, who encouraged me to do so.

So all the haters out there, the time is near for you to take revenge on balayya, through this game,

My inclination into OpenGL and DirectX programming lead to an keen interest in Game Programming recently. Couple of week’s back I have written Tic-Tac-Toe game playable by two network users using Irrlicht .NET engine and Lidgren Network Library.

With the encouragement I get from WHB community in Orkut, I decided to write a game on Balayya. Though amateur at Game programming, I though of starting with the 2D Flash programming and found some wonderful tutorials by Emanuele Feronato at

Based on his examples I created and Flash game and excited to show you all. Though it wasn’t different from what Emanuele presented in the part 3 examples, I added some touched up the scene with the some colors. I still need to play with Flash and lot to learn so as to create a game on Balayya. Hopefully, we shall have something within a week

Boston Trip 2006

I got an invitation from my friend, Krishna Kishore Pulakandham, to visit Boston on week before Thanksgiving. We were exited about the trip as it's been more than 2.5 year we met. Vijay agreed to come along and headed to Boston at 10 AM after unexpected delays.

Later that evening we had pretty good dinner at Nepali restaurant and headed towards a party to booze and dance. The party started off rocking once our DJ, Shashank Maniar, started spinning the mouse over his Virtual DJ player. It's been almost 2 years I had fun of this scale.

Back in the month of April - 2006, I came across fatwallet's hot deal forum about Kiplinger's personal finance magazine - 3 year subscription deal. Even dude's like me who had no clue what that magazine is about ordered it as 3 year subscription is only $5 after coupon, it's a steal and one cannot expect any better.

I was bit cautious with the credit card payments (by using shop safe account) as I never heard of Netmagazines before. Netmagazines accepted my order and confirmed that i shall receive the magzines within 6-12 weeks time span. Being patient along with the other fatwallet buyers, I waited for the order to come in Mid June.

Couple of months ago I saw the Chiranjeevi's much hyped movie - Stalin. IMHO, at first I thought that, the story writer lifted the idea of filling post cards containing 'Sri Lord Venkateshwara Mahatyam blah ... send this text to at least 10 people and you would become millionaire soon etc'; but confirmed by my friends as a story lifted from Pay It Forward movie. In either case, application of this concept in Stalin movie might fetch some appreciations for future electoral entry.
