Its that time of the year when Skies are filled with 'Patangs' of all shapes & size and Nagpur streets are abuzz with some special words like O-paar (with O being stretched really long!), Khada Sabbal, Cheel, Aankhe-Daar, Gole-daar, Matka, Aadhi-Roti, Chakri, Manja, pecha, Dheel, Bareilly, Nav tari, saha tari, reel, Ramu ki Dukaan, gir-got, kanna, hilkana, taav ......... & lots more.
With Makar-Sankranti being just a few days away, the Kite fever has gripped the city. Shops selling Kites & Manja have sprouted up in every nook & corner. And you can find kids running after the 'Kati Patang' on the streets. The thrill of flying a kite, the joy when you win the 'Pecha' with your rival or when you catch a Kati Patang are all truly exhilarating experiences. Do enjoy the thrill this Makar Sankranti & do keep Strepsils for your throat & Band-aids for your fingers HANDY!
