Delhi’s Media may be busy with Political Kite Flying, but it was a different mood in Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad as Narendra Modi marked the Uttarayan festival with a surprise guest for lunch and post lunch kite flying.

The lunch menu may have had Undhiyu for the record

but one must not be surprised if Kites and Poetry had also found their way into it for Narendra Modi had earlier in the day set the tone for the Festival by sharing a poem written by him way back in 1980s.

The poem is titled “Utsav” meaning Festival. The poem talks of the feelings of a kite flying high and the kite flyer who is proud his kite neither gets tangled with numerous other kites flying high up in the sky nor gets tangled in the surrounding trees.

The poem also shows Mr. Modi’s faith on the Lord Shiva and that the Lord has control on all things. The poem also shows how simple festivals and rituals attached to it ensure people of all walks of life come together and then there are no differences left. Mr. Modi here gives example of how rich and poor all like to collect kites that have once flown high up in sky and are now landing back on the earth with the string cut.
