). I started off game development on my own without even having access to internet or books on how to's. My first game was a simple car racing game I wrote when I was in school in C using the age old VGA graphics driver and graphics.h in Turbo C, It ran in DOS. That imbibed a lot of passion for game development, and I was already becoming a good programmer.
When in my 9th grade I was very passionate about cartoon arts and loved reading Tintin. I created my own character and wrote my own strips. That feeling of an imaginary world was the fuel that kept me going even during my pursuit of engineering. By that time I had also gotten into the habit of playing guitar during casual hours. But little did I knew that life outside college would be tough like hell!
So, my first interview was with TCS and I fell for the payroll. But this life is tough, not because it has odd hours (often night shifts to cater for US clients), but because I am a game developer wasting my talent in a department which has extremely low grade development and mostly support work. This is the motivation that keeps me going, that I am in a wrong place and need to get into the right industry. This is the motivation that tells me I should start my own company someday in Kolkata.
