Neighbourhood kids play with kites The kid brigade found a craze in the flying sport when they were gifted few units of kites by Rajesh. They engaged in fixing tails and ear tails when 'Rajesh uncle' told them that gives stability. The kites are typically in a fighter kite model and kids were not aware of such dynamics. They ran in the avenue to fly kites. There is no ground or a play ground for them in the vicinity of the resident colony. What surprises, the flying continued for next 3 days.

For those who keep watching it, it never gets old. Taking the 32-year-old organisers' choice of nations as an example! The Guinness record is the year's standout moment.
