Honoring a century past of that
majestic maiden, which had no future but made history and has been immortal
through the torn brown pages, connecting to so many lost souls,
giving 'em direction and changing lanes for so many others. A symbol of
great tragedy. A symbol of immortality. A symbol of majesty beauty, but beyond
all, A symbol of love. She was named Titanic... and she made
history...
She started off on her journey
to make history and to make a headline when she will reach New York, she
made one... she made it to the headlines, she made it to the pages being
immortal in history. Only by shocking reality - that unsinkable can be
sunk, and a rash reckless behavior pays its own price.
James
Cameron quoted "Titanic was a very capsule of the modern world, where
people are divided according to their class, the money etc. And at the
time when crisis hits, the rich make their way and the poor suffer." After 15-20 years of research James has now decided to move on to new projects and keep her in memories.
Sad, isn't it... Titanic had brought
so much of sorrow. Its a tragedy on the human face where its crying
from 12,000 feet (3,700 m) below the ocean surface to connect to every sole in
the world with a different perception. I guess that's why its worth the
obsession of so many and still be the graceful beauty we love falling in
love with.
Yes, Titanic is romance and
love... even being tragedy and sorrow. Many of us loved her for her
different shades of beauty. And today after 100 years, we all remember
her and appreciate her for being one of her kind, and mourn this old lady
and souls graving with her to rest in peace.
14 April 1912, 11:40PM Titanic hits the iceberg. 15 April 1912, 2:20AM she was buried in the North Atlantic Ocean. The count of lost soles was 1514. (Here we jus light a candle, and take a moment to mourn!)
I feel her, since long... she makes
me sad, but she is the one who made me understand what love is. And made me
fall in love ever since. This is me mourning for her death 100 years
from now, but this is me celebrating her glory at the same time.
Until
yesterday I couldn't decide what should I do for her - a small gesture? a
moment of silence? what? I didn't know that even after 100 years she can
touch me with love again, immerse my soul which had sunk into the
darkness of lost direction and depressed graves, finally seemed a light
of those candles and felt the warmth of love once again.
I
was so busy in my personal problems that it was not until last moment I
realized that its the day she submerged under the ocean. I wanted to do
something, anything for her! It will be the only chance I will have in my
life time to do something to show that she matters to me, I decided to
light up 1500 candles for every lost sole (later I felt ashamed, how
could I forget the 14 more officially counted people.). On my plan, my
mother and husband laughed that it ain't even possible, and later with
their suggestion I agreed to light 15 candles (one for every 100 lost
soles). By the time came I again got occupied in my own problems and
disappointments. I was planning on the time 15Apr 2:20AM(which is
definitely quite late), what to do?
I
was watching NAT-GEO, where the channel is celebrating the glory of the
greatest ship on the pages of history. I thought that by watching, I
would able to connect to her. So leaving all I was trying to establish,
several failed attempts to make a connection and talk to her once
again. All I can say was, she wasn't replying. But I was jus' waiting with a
hope and disappointment in heart, when I received a missed call from my
husband on my mother's cell phone. I went outside to understand, why is he breaking the bond am trying to establish with the moving picture of
her on the TV screen. And when I was finally out, I saw a light, a
yellow light, light from several candles which my husband was lighting
for me, I knew he is doing that because Titanic meant something to him,
but he did it 'coz she means a lot to me. It was 11:40PM, 14Apr'12. There, I heard her... and
those lost souls too... all 1514 of 'em. I didn't cry, my eyes aren't
wet, though I smiled like a heavy weight had been lifted. He asked me to
read what he had written with the candles, I barely could make it out until
he read it to me :
"04.15.12
1514"
It was amazing, I could feel all the 1514 souls finally letting go... And I lighted one more candle... beside 'em
for myself promising her that I will let go the sadness and the sorrow, that I will try harder. But for a moment
I thank her too, for making me feel this love again... once again in my life!! "Making me feel... that the love I experienced through you for the first time
can be true, can be alive and can be mine!!" So I decided to try to see
the good again, focus on the best and let go of the bruises and the passed-away
darkness... I try to move on.... reach to shore for that light... emerge
from the darkness of the crying calls of Titanic to live each day as last day of my life.
Titanic means so many different ways to the world... for me, She defined Immortal Love.
She is the beauty, she will be...
She is immortal... she will be in history...
She was our love.... she will be remembered...
Titanic.... In Memories!!
Rest In Peace my love!!
