Basant

                 A festival of kites preparations are made months in advance celebrated by kite flying a little prior to the close of winter a favourite festival of Lahorites the gay spirited sons of Lahore are very enthusiastic about it some groups act as rivals and spend thousand of rupees on Basant day The roof tops are crowded. People cry aloud "Bo-kata" throughout the day Many mishaps occur precious lives are lost or limbs broken Throats of the motorbike riders have been slit with sharp, strong twisted thread Metal strings cause electrocutions and power-failures a total wastage but who cares? Basant has now become a bloody failure.
