Kite Festival At SAS

How bright on the blue
Is a kite when it's new!

With a dive and a dip
It snaps its tail
Then soars like a ship
With only a sail

As over tides
Of wind it rides,

Climbs to the crest
Of a gust and pulls,
Then seems to rest
As wind falls.

When string goes slack
You wind it back

Uttarayan was celebrated with great festivity on SAS campus. It was a bright, sunny, breezy morning. The SAS kites, gifted to the students soared high. The students rolled the spool, competing with their friends. Traditional sweets the”Chikki” was also distributed.
