thanks Shyam :) I did know that it was an eclipse, if that is what you mean, but no the whole pinhole camera idea was on the fly. My Bro-in-law had soot-blackened a glass pane with which to watch the eclipse, and after while, we were wondering if there were other ways to watch the event, when he and and Karthik improvised a pinhole camera with a sheet of paper and a needle. Then we started using all sorts of stuff, including "jalli karandis" to project the eclipse on the floor :) You would have loved to be here :)
