Kite-Flying to a Happier Life :)
As I sat on the balcony, I watched the neighborhood kids and their guardians flying colorful kites in the sky. The lock-down has birthed a new tradition around here – Kite Flying . Every afternoon my adjacent neighbor and his grandson sit out and carefully craft a kite from scratch. Sometimes it is built from old gift wraps and other times from plastic shopping bags. Each one is different from the last and the little boy is thrilled as ever each time. At 5 PM without a minute of delay the little boy, constantly tugging his grandfather’s hand takes him to the roof top. The little boy helps launch the kite into the sky and the grandfather teaches him how to fly their latest creation with a steady hand. This never fails to bring a smile on my face. The kite soars higher and higher and child’s joy knows no bounds. For the past few days during the lock-down , this has become a routine in my neighborhood . I too run up to my terrace to look at them flying high in the evening winds. Eac
