Hi @mateenfatima, I was fascinated by what you explained about the kites, I have many memories as a child, my brother and I played a lot with them.
In fact, he has years making different kites to sell, they are beautiful and very sought after.
Looking at kites from other perspectives, you are very right about how we can learn more about them from their beginnings to the present, as well as their importance.
Success in the contest.
