So what do you suggest? You know how many people die as a direct result of kite flying? Number of youth injured or died engaged in this ‘sport’? You call this a cultural emblem? A tradition to live? To live at the expense of what? Human life?
It’s people like you who by such explicit support breed the evil to thrive in the society. You, among many, are indirectly responsible for the tragedies of the many, miseries of the countless.
It’s nothing but a ruse on the name of tradition and culture to dismantle our electric infrastructure and disrupt flow of traffic.
Romeo, more people die in road accidents. Are you suggesting to ban driving? What needs to happen is to provide safe environment for Shokeen people who love flying kites. If someone can take away these simple pleasures in life, what’s the guarantee that they will not take away other rights too? Like, a right to breathe and have a happy life. Kite flying is a lot older than not only Pakistan, but Islam, and no one can take it away. If they ban it in Lahore or from their skies, flyers will find some place else.
Madhanee, driving is necessary. Kite flying is not.
Now, know this: I’m better at kite flying that you would ever dream to be. During my last visit, after years long of rustiness, and lack practice I still manage to dominate the near skies with the virtue of my lightening ‘hath’ (if you so remember what that technique is).
But this all is against the safety of others. I myself won’t hesitate for a minute to come down from my seat of paramount calibre as a savvy kite flyer just for the safety of the others.
Roxane, you don´t have to put on the red light
those days are over.
You don´t have to sell your body to the night…
…wear that dress tonight, walk these streets for money,
what do you know about sharp wire string kites?!
