Re: The Kites Part 1 Full Movie In Hindi

But first, what of those crows and kites? They are actually Black kites (Milvus migrans), dozens of them, and hundreds of Indian house crows (Corvus splendens), all providing an important service in Kathmandu: clearing some of the rubbish from the streets. They were especially spectacular in the evening, around 5.30 pm, when I would watch them circling and moving towards their nightly roost:
This one was taken the day that we set off for the field trip, in a bus that was driving us from Kathmandu to Kutumsang at 2470 metres above sea level. The two NAMI staff members who led the field trip, Narayan Prasad Koju and Sanu Raja Maharjan, are both highly experienced Nepalese ecologists:
We spent one night at Kutumsang then trekked to Mangengoth at 3420 masl, then Thadepati (3690 masl). It was unseasonably cold up there and quite a lot of snow was still on the ground. At that point I started suffering from altitude sickness and was happy to descend back to Kutumsang. During our trek the students established 20m x 20m quadrats at 200 m intervals and recorded woody plant diversity and abundance, and which plants were in flower. In addition they recorded the tracks and scats of any mammals they encountered. Here are some shots of the students in action and the general landscape:

As I stood on the terrace, I noticed the sky littered with kites coming from all directions, many of them trying to challenging me. Some of them small, big and noisy - with or without a tail! Their fliers invisible, most of the time.
The kite flying everyday was a different experience. Some days, I would win or lose quickly and end up being happy or sad. On a few days the kite duel would drag on for a long time, with intense manoeuvres, ending with a win or a loss leaving me very ecstatic. There were also days when I not only lost my kite but almost all my thread. But that never dented my spirit to go back to the terrace, the very next day to fly. That is power of persistence.
So, in turbulent times it is important for leaders to demonstrate the power of persistence. They need to bounce back quickly, come back to the terrace the very next day, ready to lead and compete all over again.
But leaders often get obsessed with power, tittle and end up forcing their ideas on the organization and struggle to let go. They feel the need to control every situation/decision, become stubborn, do not trust their teams and refuse to delegate decision making.
You can do all the tricks mentioned with two kites at the same time or one at time. I would like to emphasise that the key in this step is flying two kites with independent controls, tricks included, at the same time.
Take off the kites moving your arms smoothly backwards, when the kites reach the middle of the wind window, pull back both arms to your front quickly at the same time. The noses of the kites are going to point away from you, belly up positioned with the lines extending toward you over the trailing edge. In addition if you want to do a turtle release, keep them walking or running forward.
Eventually to recover or coming out of the turtle pull both handles backward at same time and the kite should flip back toward you. Alternatively, if you do not recover the turtle land in that position, walking forward doing the kites losing height toward the ground. After that re-lunch and repeat the exercise.
The most important thing is to coordinate arms movement, sometimes faster and sometimes slower depending on the wind or kites speed.
If you find any difficulty at the beginning, try one kite at time. Then take off both kites living one on the zenith (Example the right kite) trying the turtle with another. Consequently, repeat the exercise a.s.a.p with the left one.
In a same way try to do a fade. Again, start at taking off maneuver and let the kites reach the zenith, after that pointing the noses to the floor (downwards) and when the kites stays in the middle height of the wind window do a pancake from a dive popping both handles at the same time. After that, when the kites noses are pointing towards you extend the lines over the leading edge and leave the kites floating in that position. So you are in Fade.
To recover from fade, slack the lines moving arms forward and turning your wrist out laterally (kite noses pointing out to the edge of the wind window), so the kites turns according to the applied force changing flight position.
This trick involve roll and unrolls the lines around the kites. I recommend that the noses orientation have to be the same for roll and unroll, I mean, noses down or up, because we are driving two kites at the same time.
I love to do this trick in which kites are flying in opposite way (horizontally) rolled and when kites are crossing in the middle of the wind window, I unroll both kites at the same time and continuing flying in an opposite way. Real impressive!
You can do this stacking the leader kite at the zenith about 10 or 11. The leader kite has to stay there wile the follower flies towards it. You have to see the nose of the follower kite pointing to the leader trailing edge keeping the trajectory.
As son as those are docking, moving both handles in the same way to fly in a single entity to the right or left. Keep both kites together and do squares, rectangles, circles, infinities, and triangles in a single entity. It is wonderful hear the kites in refuelling run trough the air like a flock. Beautiful image!
In this case the follower has to reach the leader in a non-stop flying. At the beginning could be a little difficult task, but with practice become easily. I should recommend docking when the leader is passing on the centre of the wind window to the edge and the follower is reaching the centre from its edge. The follower is flying faster than the leader.
This maneuver is a landing in which nose down away on the ground. (Belly down) Start taking off and leaving the kite reach the zenith, then, pointing noses down flying straight and at the last second landing in a belly down on the arena. In that place the kites have to remain. At first I should recommend to do this trick on one kite at time.
Put both kites on the zenith, after that point one of them nose down (maintaining the other one stacking on the zenith) when the kite is near the arena, puush the handle forwards quickly and land it in a belly.
You will gain tempo with practice. Afterwards we can launch the kite in a fade because the nose is pointing away. Therefore if you can do all of those tricks well, is a good point to practice combination tricks for routines.
Particularly to John who taught me to improve my techniques of flying. To Dave who opened my mind with his thoughts during their visit to Argentina. Also to all my friends from USA, Spain and Argentina, who help me to learn all the time.

EOS R6 was set for face detection and tracking AF method, animal eye detection, and I had a manually selected initial AF point so that I could choose a specific bird to follow. I used manual exposure with auto ISO, and mostly used the exposure lock with hold to set the exposure. One thing to remember is that if you point the camera at the sky it will see a lot of brightness and underexpose the shot. Locking the exposure with the camera aimed lower and including more land than sky, I knew that the light falling on to the bird would be the same regardless of the background as the sun was behind me.
The initial wave of the kite feeding frenzy was astonishing, so many kites flying through the air it was a challenge to decide which bird to photograph, choose one and a dozen more would get in the way. After the initial wave the birds retreated and then a second smaller wave of birds appeared and so it continued for almost two hours.
I launch it. Extraordinary! The speed. The acceleration. It sweeps up. I release some string. It turns. I hold the string steady. The wind is too powerful. This is not going to last very long. A few, brief, moments. Then the kite dives straight into the tarmac. Total wreck. I pick up the pieces as the rain comes down. I am ecstatically happy.
My proposal is that we start a dialogue with Korean fighting kite makers. But, how? None of us speak Korean. It seems an impossible goal. We do have something to go on. Earlier, with the help of London Korean Links some friends of mine have brought back a real Korean fighting kite. And there are the webpages of Korean Kite Fighters Club:
I look at the photographs showing how they make fighting kites. Sometimes it is illuminating. But, it is a bit like looking at the walls of an Egyptian tomb full of fantastic pictures and the language I do not understand. Then, suddenly, Peter Nam. It turns out Bruce Lambert knows him. We are about the same age. We have Catholic names. And, Peter rapidly put me right about this and that question. It turns out that Korean fighting kite makers today do not use steam at all.
My friend Peter Nam and the Korean Kite Fliers Association have set up exactly the facility to buy Korean fighting kites, reels and the like for fellow enthusiasts abroad. The link below should work.
Aaaaanyways - the next step FOR YOU is buying a kite. However, this can be tricky. There is a jungle of different models, brands, sizes and shapes. It's a complete mess for beginners. Fortunately, I will break all of that down for you and tell you what to look for in this post. Yay.
