Liberty under Control

 

There are numerous festivals observed in India, a land of harmony. The choicest one is that of flying kites, especially to the young generation.

A kite signifies manifold notions, like liberty, playfulness, mirth and so on. However, the underlying truth that it epitomises every optimistic idea within a boundary is inevitable. That is to say, a flying kite is always under the control of a person.

The kite festival is fundamentally celebrated on the joyful day of Biswakarma Puja, as and when, the blue sky puts on colourful attires, regaling all and sundry. Creating great excitement especially among the children, the day becomes a marvel and novelty to them. Although, it comes once every year, the utmost longing and yearlong wait of all human beings is discernible all the time. Apart from that, it reminds us that the worship of goddess Durga is not far behind.

The smiling faces of the kids, the wonder how to fly their kites in the farthest sky, the daylong experience prevail over all kinds of gloom, pessimism and woe.

Moreover, like all other festivals, it also plays a significant role in harmonising all people, irrespective of caste, financial status, hitches and so on. Actually, discrimination is withdrawn, as if, to create a new world of love, peace, understanding, cordiality and mutual regards among all men and women during this festive season.

When it gets over, there lingers a kind of bitter heartiness in the air, in human hearts, goading all to think and get consoled that more enjoyment will be had next year, since nothing lasts forever. That is to say, novelty and monotony rotates in a cyclic order always.
