00:26In the last 30-35 years, I have been passionate about flying kites, showing Indian culture and painting our villages.

00:35A friend of mine from America, a tall streeter, inspired me to do this.

00:41I went to Australia, South Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei,

00:48and when we come to Europe, we visit Germany, France, Switzerland,

00:52I have visited 75% of Europe through kites.

00:55The Prime Minister is a unique and special person.

00:58Before him, no one appreciated me.

01:02I have been with him for 25 years.

01:0625 years ago, when he was shooting a program in Ahmedabad,

01:10I kept flying kites with him until he became a big shot.

01:16He is a personality in himself.

01:18Wherever I have been, whether I have been to Taiwan, China, Australia, New Zealand,

01:24I have been there because of the spirit of my kite.

01:28Ordinary kites are made by thousands of people,

01:31but if you have something special, then you are special.

01:34Maybe I am a special person.

01:36My mentor, Mr. Tall Streeter, is no more.

01:41He has become rest in peace.

01:44He came to my house and wrote a book on Indian kites.

01:49He gave me an appreciation that I should do something that is unique.

01:53We went to some villages,

01:57he gave me a photograph and told me to start this work.

02:00For the last 35-40 years, I have been working on this.

02:04During the festivals, the kite electronics component guides

02:08agreed to finish this work.

02:10My appeal to people is that if you stay in a family,

02:14if you come to the terrace for a few days,

02:17fly kites with your children and turn off your mobile phone,

02:20the moments that you have in life will be different.
