I ma in the 2nd week of my new job. Naturally all my colleagues are new to me and I, new to them.
What can I do to break the ice? I mean, we talk and stuffs but it's all on a formal tone. What can I do?
By the way, I am a senior ranking staff in this organization (and the colleagues I mean are mostly my subordinates) so perhaps they might find it a bit uneasy to ask me for lunch etc. But I know they are nice people.
What can I do?

You ask them if they would like to go to lunch and then if they accept it'll come naturally. If not order in a lot and then invite them all to have some. Or you can ask them for a personal opinion that way you can talk about your personal life in a non business way. Like ask them what they think about your issues. If nothing works you can aske them if they have a myspace and then add them as friends.

either crack a dirty joke about the receptionist, or talk crap about the lowest and stinkiest employee there...behind their backs of course.
