The Kite Maker

Mahmood led a lonely life at his old age although he was popular in the city.

  • Mahmood, a kite maker, was an elderly man. Adults used to fly kites from the maidans when they were younger.  
  • Kite-flying was a king's sport back then. Mahmood, the kite maker, was well-known across the city while he was at the peak of his powers.
  • He had once built a particularly rare form of kite at the request of the Nawab. It was made up of a series of small, light-weight paper discs that trailed behind a thin bamboo frame.
  • The kite took on the look of a creeping serpent as the discs shrank in size from head to tail.
  • These were, indeed, leisurely days. However, the Nawab had passed away many years before.
  • Kite makers, like poets, had patrons in the past. When Mahmood was older, he had none.
  • Ten years ago, the children who had bought kites from him were now grownups fighting to make ends meet.
  • They didn't have time for the old man's recollections. Mahmood had become as old as a banyan tree, his hands gnarled and twisted as the tree's roots.
  • Though he still produced kites for his own entertainment and as toys for his grandson, Ali, the old kite maker was melancholy.
  • Kites aren't as popular as they once were. Kites were despised by adults, while youngsters preferred movies.
  • Furthermore, there were very few open locations for kite flying.
