Uttarayan!
(Two women enjoying the kites in the sky on Uttarayan – Walled City, Ahmedabad)
Uttarayan is celebrated differently by various groups within India.The festival is observed on January the 14th. Uttrayan is the name given to this day because it is when the sun starts moving towards the uttar or north. It is a holiday and is celebrated by flying kites and kite fighting. Generally men do the Kite Fighting while women hold the string or manja in a coil.
Yes today is the day we can sit and watch the sky
Yes today is the day when we can fly
fly – even if it means in my heart
fly – even if only you can see it..
Do you think the wind feels a bit different?
Do you think the sun’s a bit pale?
Is the blue of brighter than the other days?
Or am I feeling different?
