Uttarayan

This jan 15th i recaptured memories from childhood kite flying!i remember flying kites with my brother,neighbors and cousins but not nearly all day long and that was long long ago. ahmedabad(even today)its a big celebration every uttarayan.skies are adorned with colorful kites daytime and when the dawn falls;with chinese lantern or mini hot-air balloons .Beautiful sight all day long!and so much activity!




We all gathered at the house of one of the founders of manav sadhna and spent the day garnering much vitamin c and we even had a cooking facility up on terrace which meant that we stay there from morning right up until night!


The thrilling part arrives around sunset when there are just a countable number of kites flying up and its tough competition to be the last flag bearer!we came second close to take on when our kite was ripped down the glorious pedestal!tsk
The festival Is not just the celebration to mark the moving of sun's path to the northern hemisphere(which also means the onset of summer) but it also speaks for immense goodwill in playing a game where the players aren't just limited to people you see/know,but almost an entire city.
Oneness!
