  1. Answer:

    growing up with kites

    We flew kites too; we loved to fly them. Made of coloured paper and fine bamboo,

    Indian kites are as brilliant as huge butterflies and almost as light. The gatekeeper, Guru,

    bought them for us in the bazaar and showed us how to glass our strings, how to run the

    fine thread through a mixture of flour paste and ground glass until the whole string was

    armoured and then to wind the string around the polished bamboo roller that had a slim

    bamboo handle at each end and which are small hands could grasp.

    He showed us how to launch and fly our kites, how to send them higher and higher,

    standing with our legs well apart, holding our rollers in both hands bracing ourselves

    against the tug and pull. He taught us how to make our kite bob three times as a challenge

    to the other kites in the sky and then, as a distant cry of “Dhari, Dhari!” rose from an

    invisible rooftop, to cross strings with our opponent until the vanquished kite, cut loose,

    floated helplessly away over the river.

    Sometimes we heard a shrill commotion on the road below and looking over the parapet,

    saw a crowd of boys running with bamboo poles after a drifting kite mended and

    patched, could do battle again.
