some time in 1992
We are stting near the indoor garden and we were talking about several scientific things as usual. My brother taught me about the solar system and aliens and terminator and things like that. We used to watch rambo movies together. My brother was talking about how the cinemas/ theatres had movies projected on the screen. He told me that a thin small film could be projected to a screen and with the help of liht and lens, we could create this magic. I had also recently read about how the first moving picture of a horse running was accidently created in the children’s magazine ‘Balaram’.
Bro told me that the projected could be created at home. I could not believe my ears. He told me that we could quicly get into action. I was very excited to hear about that.
Bro asked me to find a suitable cardbox box that would be used an an enclosing. Took mom’s help and got a shoe box. Next step was to get a bulb. Now with the way things ran around, it was difficult to get a spare bulb, especially for ‘experiment’ like these. Finally I convinced dad and got a blub. That was my part in it. The rest of the job belonged to bro.
He worked the next few days on it. It was a simple setup. He connected a holder to a plug and it was plugged in. The holder was connected to the bulb and it was placed in the box. A small hole was made on the box, through which the light would come out. A small film was placed in front of this hole. Bro got the lens from his microscope. The box was placed
