A farmer from the Indian state of West Bengal works on an unusual house that repeats the design of the famous Titanic liner, sank after colliding with an iceberg in 1912. 
Mintu Roy, from Darjeeling, Bengal, dreamed of to live in a house shaped like the Titanic—when growing up in Calcutta. During festival Durga Puja he was so impressed by the pandal - temporary a building erected to worship the gods during the Hindu religious holidays - in the form of the Titanic, which Roy firmly decided someday build yourself a house that resembles the iconic passenger liner. Today, at the age of 52, Roy not only has not given up his dreams, but also hard at work on completing his own Titanic in Darjeeling.
“I spent most of my childhood in Calcutta, in the Boubazara, Mintu Roy told Indian reporters who visited him house. — The time of Durga Puja is one of the most vivid memories of my childhood. I watched people flock to the pandals even after a few days after the end of the puja. It is thanks to one of these pandals that I fired up with the desire to build an unforgettable home for himself and his family. 
Having traveled to different parts of India in search of work and better life, Roy finally settled in West Bengal and began to make plans to build your dream home. However, to find those who could build to him a house in the shape of the Titanic, it turned out to be not so simple. Majority civil engineers were not impressed with his vision, and those who believed in his dream demanded more money than the farmer could pay. So he ultimately decided to design and build the house himself.
After spending three years in Nepal learning the intricacies stone building, Mintu Roy began work on his unique three-story house. He's been building it for 13 years because he doesn't have enough funds to work faster, but the farmer hopes that he will still have time live there with your family.
“Although we still haven’t kept track of how much money went into house, I think we spent at least 15 lakhs (182,000 US dollars), - said Mintu Iti's wife. We were very poor, and after the birth of my daughters, we began to rent land from others and grow on it vegetables". 
Titanic fan hopes to complete house construction in coming years and open a small restaurant or tea house on the top floor as an additional source of income. Even in his current unfinished state house 12 meters long, 4 meters wide and 9 meters has become a major tourist attraction in this area, and reporters regularly come to take pictures and interview Mintu.
52-year-old farmer wants to make the Titanic just as impressive inside, as well as outside, by installing a front staircase in it, as well as complex wooden structures, main deck and wheelhouse.
“This is my husband’s dream, and therefore ours with the children. We all want to help him with this,” said the wife of Mintu Roy.
“We are glad when people even from very remote places come to our area and take pictures of the house. added Mintu's son, Kieran. — Journalists regularly visit us and ask questions by phone. I also I want to help my father financially so that he can fulfill his dream."
