Only few weeks back we had celebrated the festival of "Uttarayan". Uttrayan is a festival of Kites and the celebrations are kick-started in the early hours of January 14th, and extended to the next day, which is celebrated as Vasi Uttarayan (Vasi literally meaning Stale). The flying of kites continues into the post-dinner evening as lanterns are hung on the thread of big kites and flown. The night-sky comes alive with glamour and splendour as these tukkals gently sway with the breeze. Those were our kite strings in which now the pigeon was hanging and fighting for his life. I called Sushil and Nivesh to help me get the pigeon out of there. I brought some chairs from tv room to stand upon so that i can reach the pigeon and Sushil ran to his room to bring a knife and a clothe to cut the string. We had a plan and we had finally saved the pigeon. The pigeon was suffering from some minor cuts on his wing made by the string so we did some first-aid and kept the pigeon in the towel for some time so that he can get some rest to make his way home.
Meanwhile we were discussing about naming the pigeon and i came up with a name "Masakali". It was the name of a pigeon in a movie called "Delhi 6" and everyone agreed with me so now we were calling our pigeon Masakali. I told Sushil to bring a camera so that we can take some pictures of Masakali since he was not going to stay with us for too long.It has been two hours now since we had rescued Masakali and he was looking good afterall so we decided its time to let him go home. I lifted him from the towel, we took some pictures with him and then finally i threw him in the air and he flew like a rocket straight towards his destination. We were amazed to see that and happy too and then we congratulated each other and said "Good Job".
