TITANIC - In Memories














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!!
