Сверхзвуковые пассажирские лайнеры Concorde и Ту–144

Музей техники в Зинсхайме, Германия — единственное место в мире, где можно увидеть рядом два сверхзвуковых лайнера — Concorde и Ту–144.
Первый полет Ту–144 совершил 31 декабря 1968–го, Concorde взлетел на три месяца позже — 2 марта 1969–го. Ту–144 стал первым пассажирским самолетом, преодолевшим звуковой барьер в июне того же года. В дальнейшем судьбы самолетов сложились по разному. Ту–144 после долгих лет испытаний и изменений конструкции вышел на линии только в конце 1977 года, а спустя семь месяцев, выполнив всего 55 пассажирских рейсов и перевезя 3,5 тысячи пассажиров, прекратил пассажирские перевозки. Concorde же за 26 лет эксплуатации перевез около 3 млн пассажиров и совершил свой последний рейс в 2003 году.

As Germans prepare for foreign holidays, I console myself with travel books

We might have to watch the rest of Europe return to the beaches while we’re still stuck at home

In the past month some mundane words seem to have regained their old mystery. “Travel” is one. In my dutiful daily hour on the rusting exercise bike in the garden I’ve been listening to favourite audiobooks of the remarkable far away: Jan Morris in Venice, Peter Matthiesson in the Himalayas, Bruce Chatwin in Patagonia. In the absence of the possibility of any kind of abroad the great descriptive passages seem doubly evocative.

Ramayan's Sunil Lahri reveals how late actress Lalita Pawar continued shooting despite suffering burn injuries

Ever since the show has gone on air, the cast from the show has been revealing interesting stories that went behind the scenes. Recently actor Sunil Lahri aka Lakshman revealed another interesting fact related to late actress Lalita Pawar who played the role of Manthara. 

Recently, during a virtual press conference, Sunil Lahri said that while they were shooting the scene where Lord Ram returns to Ayodhya, Lalita Pawar suffered injuries and still chose to shoot despite the pain. "Lalita Pawar ji once suffered an injury. During a sequence when Lord Ram returns to Ayodhya, the entire set was lit with diyas. Lalita ji being an enthusiastic actor did not realise and she walked over them, by mistake she stepped on the lanterns and both her feet got burnt. The spot dadas would carry her till the set from the room and she used to give her shot. In fact, she was asked to relax and rest, but she was such an excited actor that she would love to work. Nobody got to know that she was in pain, she showed no signs when she was on camera. She was so committed that despite the injuries she continued to shoot and hat's off to her. She was a great lady," said the actor.

Lalita Pawar has also been a part of over 100s of films including Hindi, Gujarati and Marathi where she is seen playing character actors. The actor passed away in 1998 after suffering from mouth cancer.

Congress makes legislative council polls tricky

The Congress has declared two candidates, making the ensuing legislative council poll elections more interesting. This means the polls in which CM Uddhav Thackeray is one of the nine candidates, will be decided through voting on May 21, unless one of the 10 candidates for the nine vacancies withdraws next week.

Rajesh Rathod was the Congress's choice cleared by the high command on Saturday. Papa Modi was announced at a state level, indicating that it could be a tactic to get more nominations in future polls. The BJP has fielded four—Ranjitsinh Mohite Patil, Praveen Datke, Gopichand Padalkar and Dr Ajit Gopchhede. The NCP has given tickets to Shashikant Shinde and Amol Mitkari. The Sena has the CM and Neelam Gorhe, deputy chairman of the upper house.
