At first glance, one reading my blog may find the weird array of subjects unusual and out of theme but i figured....if i finish rambling about the stuff i love,i can then move on to the intellectual stuff and pretend to be an envisionary!
As of now i am not quite sure whether i want to talk about the ship or the movie...let s just take it as it comes....The ship of dreams i think they used to call it,it really was...i never got the chance to travel by it.In retrospect, i am glad i did'nt seeing how the journey ended yet,i can't help but wonder what it must have been like in the initial moments of the ship setting sail.Worse, i wonder what it was like in those final moments of impending certain death...
There have been far worse tragedies in the world and i am well aware of that.

The movie needless to say captured most of the horror,love,passion and ambition that enshrouded the titanic..it tells the saga of a ship that was meant for a lot more than it's mere rubble at the bottom of the ocean.There is no definite way of pointing out the exact incident or moment that sealed the fate of the titanic ....but whatever it was, needless to say, it succeeded in establishing the same...

interesting post....but u must remember that maybe they all died because of karma.....whoever survived would have had a very disturbed life just thinking about this incident.....life is like a boomerang what you throw will get you slowly but surely.....
