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.
