Chain For Titanic
On March 31, 1909, the first foundation of the RMS Titanic was laid down. The Harland Wolff was given the control to build the most amazing ship in the world that had 10 decks and weighed around 46,328 tons. Around 15,000 workers were put on task to complete the ship that would soon sail on the ocean to cover the memorable journey of its life which would also be remembered by those who weren’t there on the ship then. Indeed, it turned out to be true. It is believed that the central anchor of the Titanic was 16 tons, which makes it the heaviest ever to be forged back then. And yes, there were 3 such anchors.

A Walk To Remember
Looking at this picture we could say that regardless of the time, children all around the world just love to push things around in strollers. And if there is a dog on the stroller it’s just the best. But take a good look at the stroller, how the hell a baby was able to sit still in that? But for a dog, it’s just perfect. A Victorian-era stroller and two cute things are something we don’t see every day.
Dancing In Paris
By the time WWII ended Paris was still struggling to get up on its feet. But when Germans left the city people were so happy that they started dancing on the street. The Nazis who were stationed in Paris didn’t damage the famous Eiffel Tower. The Germans were out of the city and Paris was again filled with new life. Jazz musicians were again back in business. Bars and clubs were opened again. But in Paris, it doesn’t matter where you were if you are on the street just dance.
Love For Selfie In 1966
This photo could go in the list of coolest selfies ever taken by any celebrity. The Beatles were in India and George Harrison was enjoying his days in India. He was so influenced by the Sitar maestro Ravi Shankar that he has visited India to learn sitar and study Yoga with his wife Pattie. On his first visit to India, he said,
“I went to India in September 1966. When I had first come across a record of Ravi Shankar’s I had a feeling that, somewhere, I was going to meet him. It happened that I met him in London in June, at the house of Ayana Deva Angadi, founder of the Asian Music Circle. An Indian man had called me up and said that Ravi was going to be there. The press had been trying to put me and him together since I used the sitar on Norwegian Wood.”
“They started thinking: ‘A photo opportunity – a Beatle with an Indian.’ So they kept trying to put us together, and I said ‘no’, because I knew I’d meet him under the proper circumstances, which I did. He also came round to my house, and I had a couple of lessons from him on how to sit and hold the sitar.
So in September, after touring and while John was making How I Won the War, I went to India for about six weeks. First I flew to Bombay and hung out there. Again, because of the mania, people soon found out I was there.”
“I stayed in a Victorian hotel, the Taj Mahal, and was starting to learn the sitar. Ravi would give me lessons, and he’d also have one of his students sit with me. My hips were killing me from sitting on the floor, and so Ravi brought a yoga teacher to start showing me the physical yoga exercises.”
