"In UP, the anticipation for Makar Sankranti builds up two weeks prior, prompting my friends and me to embark on a kite-buying spree," Geetanjali shared. Armed with their bulk purchases, they transformed their terraces into lively arenas for aerial battles. The thrill of cutting opponents' kites and engaging in spirited chases became the essence of their days.
Geetanjali recalled a specific incident where a joyous pursuit resulted in a tumble and minor injuries. Despite trying to keep it a secret, mothers' uncanny intuition prevailed, leading to family concern. In her hometown, remnants of those spirited kite-flying days manifest as mementoes—a collection of kites serving as nostalgic artifacts.
The laughter, camaraderie, and occasional mishaps are woven into the fabric of these kites, symbolizing not just a seasonal festivity but a year-round love affair with the skies, Geetanjali expressed sentimentally.
