Trivia

"Himalayachya hakela dhavla Sahyadri" or, in English, Sahyadri (the mountain range that separates Konkan from the the Deccan Plateau) came rushing on the call (for help) by the Himalaya.
- In the 1960s and 1970s, pictures of Shivaji, the founder of Maratha kingdom used to have a small inset picture of Yashwantrao on the top right hand corner.

Famous quotes containing the word trivia:
“The most refined skills of color printing, the intricate techniques of wide-angle photography, provide us pictures of trivia bigger and more real than life. We forget that we see trivia and notice only that the reproduction is so good. Man fulfils his dream and by photographic magic produces a precise image of the Grand Canyon. The result is not that he adores nature or beauty the more. Instead he adores his camera—and himself.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“Pop artists deal with the lowly trivia of possessions and equipment that the present generation is lugging along with it on its safari into the future.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
