Both children and adults freak out on Bhanu's kites

EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE  
CHANDIGARH, April 11: The sky above the Chandigarh Golf Club was filled with bright-patterned kites and sounds of children's excitement as veteran of kites, Bhanu Shah, let lose his collection of kites. Though initially it was handled by Shah and sons Urjit and Nirang, as the evening went on the children took over the scene. It was freak-out time even for old people too as nostalgic memories of `zabardast' kite-flying of childhood days made them relive those good ole days again. So what if you are the Chief Secretary of Haryana? R.S. Verma seemed to enjoy each moment of his inaugural kite-flying. The event was arranged by the Art Folio.

The assemblage got to see Shah's kites that had wowed the world over. His Krishna and gopis danced in the sky along with some geometric patterns that performed acrobatics. There was a long-spiralling one that got off the hook, giving anxious moments to security officials as they awaited the helicopter carrying Punjab Chief Minister Prakash Singh Badal to land at the nearby helipad. Some of the enterprising ones had brought their own kites along and joined Shah. It was one of those days when everyone's spirits soared over life's hustle-hustle.
