Kite flying on Independence day

And at some locations it is about Kites and a National holiday. Kids, even elders pack up there kites, thread and snacks to climb up the roof. And then all the play starts. It is a great fun that your kite snaps others kites and all this went till the dawn.

But this time it rained here in Delhi and a little bit bitter for kite lovers. Still we took some time from rain to enjoy the great fly 🙂
