KITES ARE FLYING


PROLOGUE



College days.....


The most wonderful period of life....


Matargasti, jawaani, deewani, badameez dil, tamasha.....you can pull out any of the Ranbir-Deepika film titles or songs to describe this period in your life. It’s all of that and more....


Life will never be the same before or after it....that is one unique experience....


College is the best time in everyone’s life. You blossom, grow and evolve on one side; but on the other side you never grow up and indulge in all kinds of nautankis and mastis that you could do in one lifetime. This is true for men and women alike but with a slight difference. For majority of women, college is the only time when they get to do all this...



8 individuals......


8 varieties of characters.......


8 different lives.....


Bond together by a single thread of friendship.......


Days, weeks, months, years of your life.... where you are leaving the innocence of childhood and accepting the maturity of adulthood....you do that with your friends, alongside them....


And once adult life arrives, friendship fades away before other priorities of life. Each one has to move on with their respective lives....and what are left are just the memories.....


The friendship, which was the biggest thrill....fun....the moments of ecstasy in your life till then..... leaves without a warning from your life. Same happened with the 8 girls/women of this story.





But after 8-10 years of college, after years of giving up friends and friendship for family, career and other priorities; when you find yourself at cross roads with these same priorities, the life you have build until then....... that old bond of friendship calls out to each of them.


Will their friendship help them in their individual lives? Will they be able to help each other in much more ways than they expected? Or will it just be an awkward reunion where they find themselves grown over their friendship? 



Kites are Flying is going to explore the lives of these 8 women with their friendship at its backdrop.







NOTE:

This will be that one tale which all of you could relate or might relate to, years later after experiencing some of it in your own life.  This story is very important to me. It has shades of my own life as well as of people whom I know and of course a generalized imagination of mass population’s life in India. I’m not intending to hurt anyone but like all my other stories reality will be kept intact while you all know that I don’t forget the entertainment factor a good cinema/story should offer.
