Recently, I was on the terrace for my daily 2k steps – it was a slightly rainy day, time was around 10 pm. 

I found a kite, present on the terrace, bright yellow and blue but from one side the kite was broken.

There was a large roll of thread along with it, so to keep that kite with me, in this harsh weather, I tied the thread to cloth rope. Then tried to make it fly. it was broken from one side, and so was tilting to that side. I tried a lot to make it fly. not even me, but the stormy winds were even trying with me to make it fly. and yes I am a decent kite flyer, I know how to fly kite. but with all the efforts it wasn’t able to fly

I was there for my walk, that I skipped due to making the kite fly, thinking that I could do that and then would walk. 

After trying and wasting a lot of time the result was hand bruised by the sharp kite thread. In addition, the thread got tangled all over the legs. 

It was super late, so I left the kite tied to cloth rope, and placed it between pipes in a direction such that if the wind would take it away. The next day I visited and saw the kite in the same position but a little more broken. 

I again tried to make it fly, but even knowing it is broken I didn’t tape it. same again, winds came, it flew rotated and came back. Same as the last time, the hands were again bruised. and thread getting tangled all over the terrace, if not me someone would surely get tripped. 

I wanted the kite to fly, but it wasn’t flying, in turn, both I and the kite were getting hurt. 

I thought the good about the kite, and the winds were helping it to fly as well, but something was not right. Something was not letting it fly, maybe it was me trying to make it fly in the wrong direction. Later I found that It was the thread that I tied to cloth rope, which was stopping the kite to fly. 

Now, cant just see the kite hurt, and cut my hands. Had to make a decision, to stop trying to fly the kite. It was a very tough decision to let go of the kite, It could have landed in some water puddle, or on a tree. But also I wasn’t helping it either. So, I broke the thread from the cloth rope. The wind came, I tried to fly it again, it flew and went down the building without any break. It was lying flat on the road. I thought that it would be good for both. Yes, it was surely good for me, but for kite? Yup it was. Initially, it was in a bad state, but later a kid came and picked the kite. fixed it with tape and flew it.

Was I the bad one? Nope, was the kite bad? Nope. it was just things were not working well together. 

Sometimes we feel that we are helping someone to grow, but with all efforts that person still cant grow. Stormy winds were like opportunities that we feel the person would use and fly but couldn’t. We burden the person instead of supporting them, that person takes away our time hurting us as well. but then after letting go, both can get happy. Even if both were thinking good for each other, letting go was the best that can be done. Sometimes things just don’t work out. It’s totally fine, totally perfect. Just if you cant do good for someone, don’t do bad as well. Maybe you can’t help but maybe someone would fix or the person may fix it himself. Be Good, Do Good. Its life, It happens. 

All the best 🙂
