Amdavadi Uttarayan

Sindhu,

Uttarayan this year was spent in sunny Ahmedabad, with Avani and Shantanu and other such items. It was with such sprightliness that the city unwound its manja and let their hair down and let the wind take over.
My favourite bit was the old city-rooftops. I have never, in my entire life, seen so many kites in one place at one time. It was, I later felt, like everyone was mapping the skies with their own special kind of instrument. It was fun to remind oneself, while looking at the heavily dotted sky, that each of those colourful (or silhouetted) kites was one person holding one string. And then looking around, I'd be amazed at this impeccable display of community-fun.

The bare, prickly trees were looking like strange sky-toothpicks. That's a funny image.

Next time, we both go. Yes?
Love.
Ish
