This one came in an SMS:

सात रंग
सात सूर
सात फेरे
सात समुंदर
सात आश्चर्य
सुरजकें सात घोडे
सातवा आसमान

इन सबसे ज्यादा किमती है....

सातवा गेस सिलिंडर

Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat

When Auguste Lumière and Louis Lumière (the Lumière Brothers) showed their single-reel film at a Parisian cafe, the people fled thinking that the train will run over them.

When I read above sentence in an article recently, my first impulse was to laugh at the naivete of the audience - given that this is an era of 3D movies. But it was the first public exhibition of a motion picture so it is not hard to imagine the terror the audience must have felt.
