Steve Jobs' wife broke the 93-year-old record in Mahakumbh!
Apple co-founder Steve Jobs' wife Laurene Powell Jobs recently came to Prayagraj to attend the Mahakumbh. However, due to health reasons, she could not take a bath in Sangam on the first day, but Laurene Powell Jobs' visit to Prayagraj remained the center of attraction. After the spiritual experience in Kumbh, she made a lot of headlines, but there is another record that has been broken by her coming to Prayagraj. Lauren Powell Jobs came to Prayagraj by bhutan Airways plane and went back to bhutan by the same. This was the first international flight to Prayagraj in 93 years, which was a historic moment for Prayagraj Airport. No international flight had taken off here since 1932.
Flights to london were there till 1932
It was 1911 when Henry Pickett launched domestic commercial aviation in India. He had a postal flight from allahabad (now Prayagraj) to Naini. After this, allahabad Airport was established in 1931, and became one of the first airports in india, from where flights to london were operated till 1932.
Steve Jobs's desire behind Lauren Powell Jobs' participation in Kumbh
It was on february 2, 1974, when Steve Jobs wrote a letter to his friend Tim Brown. In this letter, he expressed his desire to join Kumbh. In the letter, he wrote, "I want to go to india for the Kumbh Mela, which starts in April. I will go sometime in March, it is not decided yet." This letter of Steve Jobs reflects his deep connection with Hindu philosophy and spirituality. He wrote Peace, Steve Jobs at the end of the letter.
