How many of you have experienced kite flying. This is very popular in India and other Asian countries. I never had such a chance so far. In hindsight I always lounged to fly kite sometime or the other.

I got this chance last week when 3^rd International Kite Fiesta was held in Dubai on 17-Jan-2014. When I read this news in the newspaper I was elated. Furthermore, the organisers promised a kite making workshop so the kids like us can learn this sport.

Early morning I with my family reached the venue at Dubai Outlet Mall. It had a vast expanse of open area, away from hustle & bustle of the city, a prerequisite for kite flying. I attended the kite making workshop. A well-known coach from India took the workshop. I carefully listened him & made my kite. He inspected the same & nodded his approval

Teams from GCC, & India were there to fly various kites. There were hundreds of enthusiasts prepared to fly kites soaring high in sky. You interact with various nationalities but your goal is same.

I felt myself close to Mother Nature when cool breeze was kissing my face & soon my kite also soared high. I felt I was missing something in life without this kite. There is no pollution no traffic only me my kite & many others with scores of kites. Big kites and with different themes were there at the venue. Soon the Dubai skyline was transformed. It was dotted with vivid & bright creations. It was a memorable experience for me & one of the best outdoor activity I could imagine.

I urge all readers to experience kite flying & feel connected to the nature
