This is the first time KiteLife is invited to TIKF since its begining. Mr Pavan Solanki, a dear friend, co-kiter, organizer is the key to TIKF. Many friends around the world of kiting circuit were there. Old friends and few new faces were seen out there other than the regular companionship, fellowship and friendship.

The Festival held on the Krishna Rao Parade Ground witnesses the huge gathering. It says unlike in the past, this year kiters had a good wind. Wind how ever, showing ita colors giving many time kiters run foe their mill of kites. Often surpassing the expectations.
The fest ran for 3 days was overwhelming experience to all the kiters, and we being a new had a good time.
Evening on the same day, a tour was organised to see Charminar and around. Hyderbad, where I am visiting after 29 years. I came here when I was with Gemini TV.
Site seeing is another affectionate part of our travel and part of kite festivals wherever. This gives an understanding of heritage.
