A kid and a Kite in Palakkad

Giri is an old school mate and a childhood friend in my home town. We studied in the same school. often we played football after the class. Kite was considered as an option when nothing is done. However, to the making it takes time and we run for materials and find it eventually from home only what we get is paper especially I choose, calendar. Years passed and the way the kiting has gone on introducing in different models and the way ahead of time it took is not very much known to the common man who is just known to the conventional kite shape. Today kiting, thanks to the kind of efforts we put together towards the promotion of hobby has brought out various sides of kiting. From Arts to Sports to what not. Kites source alternative energy. Though this is part of engineering side still it compound the interest of a belief that the same structural designs aimed to produce energy from nature. Let leave that alone. 

Our point is how effectively we are producing interest among others who is willingly coming to this part of kiting i.e arts and sports. I will be , personally happy when someone contradicts the fact that kite is nothing then i would give him a kite and ask him to make it. To the ego did i hurt as he feels how many kites we have made.."oh i know how to make it. how many kites we made...and flown he is talking about old times where he flown kites of conventional shape. "ok you make it and if not successful lemme know i will be happy to support. We left to our places. Days later he sends me a message to say " it is not flying..oh " i said you said you can do it.....Sudden answer jumped from him this is so easy not like the one we used to make....i said is it. then....a moment of gap.i said you have not seen the video i had sent for your reference..he said yes i did ...no if you have seen it then situation wouldn't be like this..i asked how he made it. he detailed...sooner i got a feeling that the kite he fixed has two vents and the leafs he pasted not in the way it really required. i asked him to sent pictures...i was right. i told him to replace the leafs and re-paste it.. his son did it. And then he could fly it. the pics shown end of the day that he flown the kite. I am happy.  

Kite is giving everyone an opportunity to come, learn and enjoy. It is perhaps..no i vouch ...it is only one of its kind in the whole universe that everybody is liked and carried. Be it arts or sports, a kite can assemble and carry with you. It develops friendship and fellowship. It brings happiness. It is real stress buster. If one believes in kite even kite can give you a livelihood. Making a kite is awsumly expensive, believe you me! Because you just not want a kite endear thru your thoughts but some real imagination was created thru a spend to make it beautiful, intelligent, vibrant and ultimately having a superb kite. Materials are really expensive if you make inflatables, but you can do some simple kite making using landfill materials as well! Its up to you. Join us.
