Quarter Century!!

A forward from my friend on my 25th b'day. I was happy to know that there is nowhere to go but up ;)

A moment to cherish!! (Part 2)

This is a follow up to my blog entry in February. India has finally topped the ODI ICC rankings for the first time since they were started in 2002.

Let's hope that India wins the next 2 games in Sri Lanka to retain the top spot.

IMAX and 3D

I had the pleasure of watching the midnight premiere of Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince. The 3D version of the movie was released in IMAX after 2 weeks (due to some contract between IMAX and Transformers). I watched this 3D version last Friday. Only the first 20 minutes was in 3D. However, I realized the huge difference in experience between 3D and 2D movies. I have watched a lot of 3D movies this year (I can count at least 5), but this is the first time I was able to compare it to the 2D version. I was able to observe even the small details that I missed when watching the 2D version. Even after the first 20 minutes, watching the movie on the IMAX screen just made a huge difference.

Two weeks ago, I experienced a demo of a 3D video without wearing those 3D glasses!! It was just fantastic!!! I'm waiting for the day when all movies will be in 3D, all theaters will be in the IMAX format and we would be able to experience 3D without any special glasses. This day is not too far in the future. Our next generation will be laughing at the fact that we had to wear a stupid glass just to watch a 3D movie!
