Kites

When ever I hear the word Sankranthi the first thing I can think of are the Kites and then comes the Gobbammalu, rangoli and all the pindi vantalu.


When I was a kid I used to love flying kites and I always used fight with my brothers for a big one (ofcourse which I never used to get). Flying kites used to start like around 1 month before Sankranthi and would continue one month after, every weekend.


 We had a big play ground kind of thing back of my house. I and few of my childhood boy friends used to gather in the ground usually during weekends and enjoy flying kites. We used fight and help each other flying kites especially when the wind is bad. It was so much fun.
          But that’s not the main reason why I started this post its because from past couple f years I don't hear anything about flying kites from this generations kids. I have almost 12 nieces and Nephews (Combining Madhu's and Mine) none of them really talk about flying kites. I don't know if they don't enjoy flying nor they don't have right company or may be not a right ambience? Hmmm what to say about this generation kids they all are busy playing video games and stuff like that.
      I always used to enjoy playing outside with friends, running around , fighting with friends and then saying sorry but I never used to sit in front of TV or Computer the whole day. If it’s a weekend it was tough to find me at home because I always use to at be at friends place expect when I am hungry and have to finish my homework. It was much fun. Hmm ...this post made me Nostalgic again!!
