hello to all mambers


HAPPY KITE FLYING DAY 

Today is Makar Sankranti and is celebrated in India in many different ways. For example, in Assam, this day is celebrated as "Uruka". The entire family gathers around a camp fire and roasts various food items ranging from potatoes to fish and meat. It (Uruka) ushers in Maagh / Bhogali Bihu. A time for feasting and merriment.

In Gujarat it it celebrated as the "International Kite Flying Day". I may not be able to fly a kite today (due to professional commitments), but I will definitely do so tomorrow the 16th of Jan 2011. I had bought many kites but never had the chance to fly them.

Nehutech, thanks for waking me up!

kite flying day is converted into Vibrant Gujarat ....by CM (I call him CEO of Gujarat) of Gujarat. Amazing vision and passion for the state  . Wish you all a hapy Makar Sakranti.

The famous Makaravilakku (pronounced as Ma-ka-ra-vila-kku) at the shrine of Sabarimala in Kerala.

This year Kerala kite festival is coming up, on Jan. 22 & 23 at Cochin.
