I tried again with a reflecter...no luck...perhaps the sun rays are not direct enough.
Let me end this experiment by taking refuge in Tennyson's words (with a little modification and lots of apologies):
'Tis better to have tried and lost
Than never to have tried at all.

Bali Yatra
More on India and Indonesia. Those thinking of visiting Indonesia may like to know that the island of bali had old trading links with India- especially with Orissa.
In olden times, merchants from Orissa used to trade with South-East Asian countries- including what is now Indonesia. And whatever items they brought from those places after trading Oriya goods used to be put up for sale in the then capital city of Orissa-Cuttack. People from all over the state and beyond used to come to Cuttack to buy these items. The festival of Bali Yatra which is now celeberated is in continuation of this old history and tradition. It is held every year in the month of November on the banks of the river Mahanadi. On this day paper boats are floated in the river as a token of the maritime voyages of the past.
