Finally,
we had a first team movie outing.... everything was good except of the fact it was a self sponsored one. Well, one more thing is there :- The pleasure of successful completion of idea proposed me and its execution. The idea for a team outing for a movie suddenly clicked to me when I was coming back from the tea along with Riddhish. So I asked our boss, Satish, we call him "Sarkar" also. To my surprise, he agreed for it and that too on a working day. So we got the green signal.
Recently, all of us in Motorola moved to Google Apps from Outlook, which had one good feature of conducting polls. And we made a good use of it. To our surprise, out of 14 member team 12 agreed to go f
or this. This was definately more than what I expected. The factors which influnced 85% + turnout in the team were
- It was on a Working Day
- One who doesn't go for movie can't take it off and will have to work in office
- It was in English (As our team is a mix of people with different native tongues any other language will have resulted in more rejections for sure)
- Hype of Avatar and its Graphics.
- 3D. (Not many of us has watched a 3-D movie)
- Lastly, Holiday mood ..... ;)
Based on everyone's convenience as well as tickets availability, we finalized the day of Thursday(24th December). The Avatar day arrived and we started assembling and most of us reached there using bikes through route avoiding the Metro-construction route, which was the shortest one. We all reached Fame Cinemas on time and were ready to Avatarised in 3D way.
Movie Review:-
- Awesome Graphics
- Nice 3D experience
- Story was okie-dokie.
- 2nd half is better than 1st half.
- Movie is definitely over-hyped.
Fame Cinemas' Review:-
- Seats were cozy & spacious.
- Nice Environment.
- Food inside is very costly. (Which is expected in Multiplexes in cities :(
Somehow, I kept thinking about Avatar. It may be because of many reasons. May be because as I am Hindu and we have always been saved by our deities who reincarnates themselves in form of Avatars. Or may be because my first disposition for patent was Avatar Transformation System, which got rejected. :( Or was it because of the thoughts which kept coming to my mind, like what we have done to the nature of our planet. Ah Ah... somehow I felt the movie was over hyped, but deep inside there was some link with the word Avatar or some of the values projected through the movie "Avatar". Even, I thought about if the 10th Avatar of Vishnu, as predicted by Bhavisya Purana will actually come? If he comes will he be in some horse with wings or this white or it is some aircraft as most of them are white also they are regarded as war-horse.
Origin of the word "Avatar" is from Sanskrit.
- A manifestation of a deity in Hinduism.
- A new personification of a familiar idea
- An icon or animation to represent a participant used in Internet chat and games
