The ship of dreams (18 June, 2013)
The Titanic, the unsinkable boat is
a legend known to all.Its grandeur and magnificence is well known and
so is its strength. I know there have been many articles and blogs about this
legend but none the less i feel compelled to write about it.
The Titanic was not a any other ship
sailing across the ocean it was a dream, a new beginning, and a hope to many
hearts sailing in it. As it left the shore and everyone was exchanging hugs and
goodbyes and good wishes, no one knew how soon it all was to end.
When it went down into the ocean it
was not just the hundreds of dollars or hundreds of people, with it went down
thousands of dreams and aspirations, never to resurface again. Though in the
later years the remains of the Titanic were discovered it was not the same boat
it which had set out. It had lost its grandeur to the sea, buried forever with
its passengers.
The ship which took three whole
years to be built sank in less than three hours. These three hours showed all
kinds of emotions from all extremes, with people putting others before them on
one hand to killing others to save yourself. People on board found their
own ways to fight the calamity, some were departed safely on the life
boats, others struggled to survive till the last second, some just accepted
their fate and waited.
The Titanic was not just a ship but
home to a million hopes and dreams, of love and friendship and most of all the
to the souls of twenty two hundred people and their faith, their aspirations,
their promises and dreams.The unsinkable ship sank but i believe that
it still is unsinkable because even though the ship and many of its inhabitants
are buried at the very bottom but these dreams and promises can never sink. No
iceberg can do any harm to them. These dreams are still out there the only
difference is just that the eyes seeing them are different.
