Kite Flying

Kite flying season used to be quite exciting and very hectic for us.Preparation for it used to start days in advance because first we used to buy white plain thread  for kite flying and then we used to boil one product called Sares and used to mix it with different colours and then glass pieces which we used to grind like fine powder and then boil the mix in high temperature and after it cooling down we used to apply on the plain thread by using cloth and tieing the plain thread from one pole to another pole in both side of the ground.By applying the paste with glass powder we used to get knife edge on the thread and so we used to cut most of the rivals kites because of it.Although it was quite dangerous to do so because you can cut your hands also with such sharp thread.But we used to take adequate measures so that we should not get hurt.
But it was more fun to loot the kites which was cut and myself and my friends along with younger brother used to loot the kites of different colours and sizes and shapes.We used to keep all the kites in one room because as i told you in my earlier blog that we had a big house with several rooms.In whole season we used to collect more then 50 kites.And every time we were successful in chasing and looting the kite,it was felt like wining the world cup because there were other children's with whom you have to compete.
