The shadows are of my nephew who patiently did whatever he was told to do. He had no other options. ;)
PS : Camera to be blamed for the pixel loss.

Camera: Test Run 2.
This was my second day out with the camera. Actually night out.

Ok. The camera comes back again.
I have not used my camera - A Casio EX-P700 - for almost a year now. I always thought it was busted. So took it out for a test run today.

Pythonesque.
Yes, this is a word in the English lexicon!
For all those who don't know what I am talking about just like myself two months back : I am talking about the British group Monty Python. The group's influence on comedy has been compared to The Beatles' influence on music.
My this post is based on whatever the verb is for searching on Wikipedia.
The Pythons:
Back row: Graham Chapman, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam
Front row: Terry Jones, John Cleese, Michael Palin
Why am I writing about them all of a sudden. Well I just saw, apart from their other works, "The Holy Grail" for the 3rd time THIS WEEK!
Some interesting stuff that I came to know about them in the Wiki Article:
1. The Python programming language by Guido van Rossum is named after the troupe, and Monty Python references are often found in sample code created for that language. Also, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory wrote some spacecraft navigation software in Python, which they dubbed "Monty."
2. Each member of Monty Python has an asteroid named after him (9617 Grahamchapman, 9618 Johncleese, 9619 Terrygilliam, 9620 Ericidle, 9621 Michaelpalin, and 9622 Terryjones).
3. South Park fans: The show's style of animation is inspired by the paper cut-out cartoons made by Terry Gilliam for Monty Python's Flying Circus, of which Parker and Stone - The Creators - have been lifelong fans.
4. Harry Potter fans: J. K. Rowling, author of the series, is a fan of Gilliam's work. Consequently, he was Rowling's first choice to direct Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in 2000. Warner Bros. refused to consider Gilliam as director.

Writing about a dream
I have night after night
Where I am the master of my realm
Life all around & that beauty sprite
A dream
Where I have 'not' sinned
Where I go to 'sleep' in peace
Where I can fly 'with' the wind
Where Evils in me have a sweet release
On the tenth - I start
11, 12 - in it I had no heart
A Sunday today - December thirteen
And the much awaited Sun is finally seen
A dream
Where there are no people with faces two
Where there are no people who scare the wits out of me
Where there are no lies and everything is true
Where I find the door to happiness and also the key
