01:04My name is Fazil Ben Ali and my partner is Arif Sulaiman.

01:09We are from Malaysia.

01:11Okay, so how long have you been flying kite?

01:14This is my 22nd year, 22 years playing kites.

01:21First time in Hyderabad?

01:22Yes, this is my first time in Hyderabad.

01:25Normally I'm going to Ahmedabad every year during Pongal or Makkah Sankranti, I'm going there.

01:32But this year, this is the first time I go here.

01:35How's the climate, how's the wind, sir, for the kites?

01:38Perfect, it's good, but sometimes the wind is shaking left and right.

01:44That's our problem.

01:47To play kite, you must have strong wind and consistently.

01:54So you like it in Hyderabad?

01:55Definitely.

01:57Hyderabad is a very peaceful place and the population here is very nice.

02:06And the food is also very good.

02:08Here we can have chicken biryani and some vegetarian food.

02:16You have a pretty big kite over there, so is it hard to fly such big kites?

02:21If there is a wind, no problem at all.

02:24But when the wind is shaking left and right, that is our problem.

02:30We can produce more kites if the wind is perfect.

02:35At least 9 knots or 10 knots, perfect.

02:40But when the wind is sometimes low, sometimes have, sometimes don't have wind, so it's a problem for us.

02:49So are you planning to come next year also?

02:51Definitely, if the organiser invites me.

02:55My priority here, maybe here, during Pongal.

03:01Right, sir. Thank you so much.

03:04Yes, sir. Your good name, sir?

03:06Hi, I'm from Port Colborne, Ontario. It's near Niagara Falls and that's in Canada.

03:11So, your first time in Hyderabad?

03:13No, this is my second time. I was here last year and I'm enjoying this year just as much.

03:17So how long have you been flying kites, sir?

03:19I've been flying kites probably longer than you've been on the earth.

03:22Probably a good 35 years and I started when my kids were small.

03:26Give you an idea how old my kids are now.

03:29And they're kind of out of kites and we just kept going at it.

03:32So how is the climate, sir, this time in Hyderabad?

03:35It's very nice. I think it's about 25 right now and it's not humid.

03:39And back home it's minus 10 and very snowy.

03:42So can you share some experiences about one incident that you remember related to flying kites?

03:49Related to flying kites?

03:50Very memorable.

03:51Oh, I always have fun with kites everywhere.

03:53I put the odd kite in a tree and that was kind of fun.

03:56When you're at a festival and you put a kite in a tree, then everybody thinks,

03:58Is that part of the show? Watch my line, boy.

04:01So right now I'm going to fly a four-line kite.

04:04I put shorter lines on it because the field's a bit limited.

04:06And this kite will fly every which way.

04:09It's not like a single-line kite where it'll just fly up.

04:11This way I can fly it up and down, backwards and forwards, and land it.

04:15So are you planning to come next year also, sir, to Hyderabad?

04:17Well, it all depends if they invite me, but I think we put on a good show.

04:20I do bubbles here too and I have a lot of fun.

04:22I look for a spot where there's a lot of crowd and the wind is blowing away from the kites.

04:26I think generally the people really enjoy it.

04:29Thank you, sir.

04:56There are other specialties. We made them just for Hyderabad.

04:59We have eyeballs.
