 Flying high
with his kites
Chandigarh,
January 14
Syed Jamaluddin is proud of his inheritance. Humble it may be, but it
is unusual nevertheless — unusual enough to facilitate an obscure
man’s entry into a film as Deepa Mehta’s classic “1947 -
Earth.” “I featured prominently in the film, thanks to my
kites,” tells the man, too unassuming to allow this bit of
conversation to linger.
Syed Jamaluddin displays his kite flying skills with 250 kites on a single string during a show organised at the Sector 17 Plaza in Chandigarh on Friday.
