Gaurav and the kites

12-year-old Gaurav is a kite constructor. Nothing out of the ordinary in the little village of Ghapayi in the Indian Punjab, where basically everybody makes a living out of kite constructing. Ever since the death of his father, Gaurav has to work after school in order to support his family. But there is not much money to make as a mere assistant. This is why Gaurav wants to become master constructor of kites himself one day. At his early age he is already engaging seriously with the trade, its techniques and designs. It is now on the occasion of the great kite festival that Gaurav wants to fly his first self-made kite with a marvelous design. The whole village may see that kite!
