Last Friday was take-office-to-the-movies-day at Ideazinc. So, off we went. All of us, from the top to the bottom of the food chain, were packed into five cars and two motor bikes. The hot sultry afternoon was a pain, and we couldn’t wait to get inside the movie hall. A lot of mind-boggling losing one another later, we were inside the auditorium. We looked a little crazy with those over-sized 3D glasses but what can we do, 3D super-heroism is the order of the day.

Meanwhile, brand design, print design, website management, front end development, word press, and their friends took a backseat as the great green Hulk, blonde Thor, Iron/Witty Man, Captain (never-grow-old) America and Agent Natasha got together to beat Loki, the villain, into pulp.

Space creatures, cubes of iridium, portals, flying air strips, crumbling towers were unleashed in true-blue Hollywood style as we slid into our seats, dug into the popcorn and thanked God for the little mercies of life.

But how could our movie experience be complete till we’ve  forgotten something under our seats? One of our home-grown geniuses was true to this ancient tradition and forgot their 3D glasses under their seat. The security guard didn’t seem to like this joke and stopped us on the way out. It was seventeen to one and peace was restored immediately.

By now the team was in a jolly good mood. We got talking! In fact, bits of comic trivia, cartoon character history and general confusion sparked off a passionate debate on the sidewalk.

Our inimitable Creative Director, Gurpreet, was asked to intervene. And we quote, “Avengers, we go our own ways now. We will meet again when the world needs us. For now, disappear.”

Well, like they say, the boss knows best.
