The World's First All-glass Undersea Restaurant Opens









The World's First All-glass Undersea Restaurant Opens 15 th April marks the day that the first ever all-glass undersea restaurant in the world opens its doors for business at the Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa. It will sit five meters below the waves of the Indian Ocean, surrounded by a vibrant coral reef and encased in clear acrylic offering diners 270-degrees of panoramic underwater views. "We have used aquarium technology to put diners face-to-face with the stunning underwater environment of the Maldives", says Carsten Schieck, General Manager of Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa. "Our guests always comment on being blown aw ay by the colour, clarity, and beauty of the underwater world in the Maldives, so it seemed the perfect idea to build a restaurant where diners can experience fine cuisine and take time to enjoy the views - without ever getting their feet wet." Created by MJ Murphy Ltd, a design consultancy based in New Zealand, Ithaa's distinctive feature is the use of curved transparent acrylic walls and roof, similar to those used in aquarium attractions. "The fact that the entire restaurant except for the floor is made of clear ac rylic makes this unique in the world," continues Schieck, "We are currently planting a coral garden on the reef to add to the spectacular views of the rays, sharks and many colorful fish that live around the area.

Chennai weaves world's costliest sari at Rs 40 lakh

Chennai: A palanquin arrived amid much fanfare at Chennai Silks, a textile house in Tamil Nadu, to give a princely welcome for an outfit that's fit for a queen – a sari studded with gold, diamonds, emeralds and other precious stones.
The textile house has woven what it claims is the world's costliest sari, one that costs Rs 40 lakh and weighs around eight kilogram.
“The most special thing about the sari is the Ravi Varma painting which has been woven into it. All the intricate details in the painting have been replicated like the curly hair of the ladies and the jewels they are wearing,” Assistant General Manager of Chennai Silks K V Sriram said.
While it has already entered the Limca Book of Records, the company says it will try to enter the Guiness Book as well.
It took 30 weavers around seven months to make the sari and its launch was also star-studded with actors Suhasini Mani Ratnam, Shobhana and Jeeva attending the event. So, was the attempt just for a record?

“This sari can be worn. Normally also it can be used, so it’s not just for a record,” Sriram said.
The director claims they have already received enquiries regarding the sari and hopes that it will be sold soon.

Cursed Indian gem on display in UK

London : The Delhi Purple Sapphire, a gem that is believed by many to be "cursed", will go on public display at the vault in the Natural History Museum in London, on Wednesday.
A spokesman of the museum said today that the Sapphire was brought to the UK by a Bengal cavalryman, Colonel W Ferris, after being looted from the Temple of Indra in Kanpur during the war of 1857.
The soldier thereafter lost money and health, and his son who inherited whatever was left subsequently lost it, too.
A family friend who possessed it for a short time committed suicide.
Edward Heron-Allen, a scientist and friend of wit and playwright Oscar Wilde, was the last owner of gem.

He was given the stone in 1890 and was immediately beset by misfortunes. He twice gave the stone to friends who had asked for it; one "was thereupon overwhelmed by every possible disaster", and the other, a singer, found "her voice was dead and gone and she has never sung since."
Heron-Allen even claimed to have thrown the gem into Regent's Canal only for it to be returned to him three months later by a dealer who had bought it from a dredger.
By 1904, Heron-Allen had had enough.
Declaring, "I feel that it is exerting a baleful influence over my newborn daughter", he had it shipped to his bankers with instructions that it be locked away till after his death.
At the risk of sounding far-fetched, even scientists are not immune to the power of the story of the Delhi Purple Sapphire.
Seven years ago, John Whittaker, former head of micropalaeontology at the Natural History Museum, took the amethyst to the first annual symposium of the Heron-Allen Society, an organisation founded to discuss the man's life.
On the way home, "the sky turned black and we were overtaken by the most horrific thunderstorm I've ever experienced," Whittaker said.
It was so bad "we considered abandoning the car and my wife was shouting, 'Why did you bring that damned thing?'"
Whittaker was taken violently ill with a stomach bug the night before the second symposium of the society and he missed the third when he developed a kidney stone.
The fourth symposium in 2004, was held at the museum. "We were all a bit apprehensive on the eve of the meeting," he said.
Heron-Allen was one of the most multi-faceted individuals ever associated with the Natural History Museum. He trained as a solicitor while simultaneously learning the art of violin-making -- his book on the history of the instrument, published in 1884, is still in print. He studied Persian and wrote a popular prose translation of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam.
But it was as a scientist that he forged the strong bond with the Natural History museum that would ultimately see the "cursed" amethyst wind up in South Kensington.

Amazing 11-yr-old filmmaker

Mumbai: Imagine making a film when you are 11 years old, and then actually getting complimented by the man who made Life is Beautiful. That dream turned into reality for Bangalore boy Kishan Shrikanth, who took his directorial debut project Care of Footpath to the Gifoni International Children's Film Festival.
Kishan, whose directorial debut at age 11 made headlines in India was determined to meet his idol, filmmaker Roberto Benigni. So while in Italy at the festival, he announced on European television channels that he wanted to meet Benigni to make his life beautiful and his tactic worked.
“Benigni got in touch with the Gifoni people. And then he decided on a secret location where we would meet. Then we got into the vehicle and drove and for me to see him was unbelievable. Then we kept saying to each other that it's an honour to meet up with you,” Kishan said.
Kishan's Italian trip turned even more dreamlike when Benigni actually offered him a film. He is to be cast in Benigni's version of Rudyard Kipling's classic Kim. Though, no dates have been fixed yet, the child prodigy is still hopeful.
“Last I spoke to him over e-mail and he said that wait a while, we will soon start the project,” Kishan said.
While taking part at Gifoni, Kishan also ran into Hollywood actor Danny DeVito.
“He pointed to the photo on the brochure that is towards Jackie Shroff and said, ‘why did you cast him in the film? Why didn't you give the role to me?’” Kishan said.
Looking ahead after his Italian holiday, Kishan is now learning sound engineering. His film Care of Footpath will soon be dubbed in Hindi.
