Happy Sankranti to all you kite-flyers.
Today is the day when you unmask your hidden emotions against your noisy neighbours by cutting his/her manjha. Yes, it does seem liberating when you are out there in the open sky fighting your way out. It also helps you remain calm in frustrating situations when the neighbours’ kites are swarming like bees around yours. Then comes the glorious part, the moment you get an opportunity to cut Mehta uncle’s lame kite. That’s when you let out a sigh of relief and get to know the sweet taste of victory.
Just like flying of kites, The Quint tells you how to liberate yourself from some celebs, asking them to “go fly a kite.” Obviously, metaphorically speaking.
Akki, enough of absurd films where you have lions on leashes, talking cows, and weak scripts. It’s just cinematic trash. Throw ‘em away instead of acting in them. Bollywood loves you, but it’s time to go fly a kite to get your mojo back. And we are glad you feel the same and decided to fly down south to work with the great Rajinikanth himself.
It’s been a bad start to the new year for Aamir Khan. The actor who wanted to create Dangal in Bollywood, created one in his personal life instead, in front of half-a-dozen of national cameras. It wasn’t just the ‘intolerant’ common man, but the Ministry of Tourism who asked Aamir to go fly a kite. If the rumours are anything to go by, the actor may no longer be the face of the road safety campaign.
Sigh Aamir, you must be quite vella right now. Maybe this Makar Sankranti you should learn to fly a kite.
Arvind Kejriwal, your stars are badly aligned. You took up the noble cause to clean Delhi’s air by introducing the odd-even formula. But alas, the plan fell flat. In plain simple words, the High Court and Delhiwalas, both asked you to go fly a kite and ensured such a formula would not be implemented in the future.
