Hi all Kite lovers,

This is the second year for the kite festival to be held in Pune, India. Pune is well known for its arts and cultural activities.

The very first year received a wholehearted response and interestingly this year too the event will be a grand success.

The event will have kite flyers from 18 countries and with 41 professional kite flyers displaying their skills.

The event is scheduled on coming Monday 26th January 2015. Interestingly on this day the constitution of India was formed and is marked as Republic Day.

Thanks Tanay. If that first photo is a taste of what is about to happen, the festival should get plenty of attention! (The second photo is good too, but the first one had more impact for me...)

I can tell you love kites...

Otherwise you wouldn't be all the way down here near the bottom of the page :-)

So, could you do me just a small favor? 

Please sign up for my free monthly publication, "Tethered Flying". No other emails will be sent, and your details are safe with me. You do need to be at least 16 years old. There's...

  • A huge "photo of the month" (linked from a much smaller one in the email of course)
  • 3 "tips of the month" (1 for beginners, 1 for parents and 1 for more experienced kite-fliers)
  • A "flight report of the month" (selected from my own flying logs and illustrated with a photo)

Looking forward to hearing from you...

P.S. My free kite-making e-book "Simplest Dowel Kites" can be downloaded as soon as you sign up.
