"In UP, the anticipation for Makar Sankranti builds up two weeks prior, prompting my friends and me to embark on a kite-buying spree," Geetanjali shared.

The thrill of cutting opponents' kites and engaging in spirited chases became the essence of their days.

Geetanjali recalled a specific incident where a joyous pursuit resulted in a tumble and minor injuries. Despite trying to keep it a secret, mothers' uncanny intuition prevailed, leading to family concern. In her hometown, remnants of those spirited kite-flying days manifest as mementoes—a collection of kites serving as nostalgic artifacts.
