Hi guys, Hope you guys are doing good. Today is Makar Sankranti i.e. A kite festival celebrated across India especially in Gujarat state. During this day people fly kites throughout the day and indulge in sweets like Chikki, sesame ladoos, mamra ladoos. In evening time, people light kandil i.e. a balloon with a candle in it and release it in the sky. However, this time it doesn't feel like people are celebrating much due to covid thing.

Whenever I see the word kite, I always think of my old-time favorite movie, 'The Kite Runner.'

A lot of events are not going to push thru because of the virus threat.
