Kites – Movie Review (Sexy!!) * * * 1/2 star

The most awaited flick of the year ‘Kites’ does it live up to the hype? Read on…

 

The Film – Kites starts with a severely wounded J (Hrithik) dumped in a train carriage in Mexico who is on a quest to find his lost like Linda (Barbara). Cut to flashback – J is a Salsa trainer in Vegas who makes casual attempts at getting rich. One of his students, Kangana (Extremely gorgeous but a brief appearance) falls for J. She is the daughter of the Vegas huge gun Bob (Kabir Bedi). For J, dating Kangana is the simplest way to make it huge. Enter Kangana’s brother Tony (Nicholas Brown) who is getting married to Linda (Barbara). Linda too likes Tony only for his money. Eventually J and Linda find comfort in each other, and they escape from the guns of Tony. Rest of the flick, J and Linda keep getting chased by Tony.

 

Thumbs Up – The performance by the lead pair is terrific. All the talk of the chemistry between Hrithik and Barbara really sets the screen on fire (though there are no steamy scenes, thanks to the censors!) Hrithik gives his heart to the role of J, whereas Barbara proves to be a very fine actor. She seems comfortable at her bollywood calling. The music is first rate and the songs picturised with finesse. The climax packs in fantastic intensity. Anurag Basu deserves kudos for his direction. Nicholas Brown is cast perfect as the villainous Tony.


Thumbs Down – The tale is a let down. The plot offers nothing new. There are a lot of car chasing scenes in the second half which become repetitive after a while. The dialogues are forgettable.

 

To see or not to see? – Of course go for it. Its no landmark movie, yet the honest efforts place by the team behind Kites makes it a excellent watch.

With Kites, Rakesh Roshan once again proves, why he is still the powerhouse in the film industry.  Kites may prove to be an international hit, considering the cross-culture theme, the crisp length and the overall feel of the movie.

Well thats it for my review, let me know your thoughts on Kites!

Swallow-tailed Kites, Gallinules, and Frigates

Swallow-tailed Kites, Gallinules, and Frigates

Swallow-tailed Kites, Gallinules, and Frigates

I don’t usually trek far to go birding. My trips are generally local. But, I teamed up with a birding partner from the past to do just that. My partner on this trip was someone with whom I birded in the last century (mid-eighties). So, when I got the email inviting me and others to join him on an all day birding trip, I couldn’t refuse. Thus started the rearranging of schedules and ordinary demands to accommodate this adventure which would start 100 miles from home before dawn.

We were up before our alarms, anticipation driving us. The early routine of coffee and making sandwiches for later in the day went like clockwork. Gear packed the night before was rechecked one more time. We noted that each had different, and better, binoculars since last we birded. We had both opted for the newer roof prism technology. Even my partner’s new scope was carefully stowed in the van; we knew we would use it on the coast.

The objectives for the day were to find Swallow-tailed Kites near Liberty, Texas; Purple Gallinules at Anahuac; Magnificent Frigatebirds near Galveston. In the burgeoning light of dawn we left College Station headed for Dayton and Liberty. My partner had checked with fellow birders on Texbirds to see if anyone had recently sighted the kites. An email confirmed we had a excellent chance.

We arrived at Liberty shortly after 8:00 and parked on the frontage road near the bridge over the Trinity River to start our watch for the kites. Local Law Enforcement checked us out to see what we were about. Having determined we had legitimate purpose, they left us to our search. Two and a half hours later we did get to sight three very agile and graceful kites as they hunted insects and lizards from the top of the trees. During those in between hours we also were treated to numerous Anhingas, Common and Snowy Egrets, Fantastic Blue Herons, Double Crested Cormorants, Eurasian Collard Dove and a Belted Kingfisher. For thirty minutes we loved the kites and their acrobatics.

Turning south we traced our way to Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge. We did not meet any of our other objectives this day. But, we delighted in the viewing of many Common Moorhens and their fluffy small chicks, Green Herons, and Marsh Wrens. We noted the “floating log” had eyes.

We made it to High Island and stopped to take a look at the rookery of herons and Roseated Spoonbills. We noted another floating log with eyes. From High Island it was on to Boliver Flats where we sighted Royal, Caspian and Sandwich Terns, Marbled Godwits, a Long-billed Curlew, Brown Pelicans, and Reddish Egrets. One of the Reddish Egrets engaged in a spirited dance for which they are known.

Our next objective of Galveston and the frigates was thwarted by a flat tire and a very long line waiting for the ferries. Tired, hot and thirsty we headed toward our base. Returning to College Station that evening, thirteen hours later, we had traveled over 400 miles and seen 52 species of birds. I marvel at the mileage because I remember my history lessons in which I learned those courageous pioneers who crossed our continent headed for Oregon or California in their wagons would often travel only eight to fourteen miles a day. But I, like Mr. Frost, still had miles to go before I slept. I was still far from home.

There may be some who might count the day unsuccessful, for we had only accomplished one of our objectives. Yet, birding and fishing have in common that we do not always meet the objectives. Casting our lures into the water does not always net us a fish. Casting our binoculars over the field does not always result in a sighting. But, when we do hook the fish or sight the bird, what a rush it is. ‘Tis a lesson for life, even those of us who believe in goals and objectives should take to heart in living our days not just for the mechanics of met objectives, but for the unexpected in between. We had a grand day, filled with tales new and ancient. We caught up with each others lives and families. We had joked and done our share of “do you remember when?” We had shared in the hunt for some special birds and been impressed by their majesty. We had shared in a pastime which has sustained us, and many others, these many years.

How To Fly Kites As A Hobby

How To Glide Kites As A Leisure activity

Flying kites is an brilliant leisure activity that anyone can take up and delight in. It is not only enjoyable but can be an simple way to get some excellent exercise and delight in the weather. Experts and beginners alike should know a few simple things before partaking in kite flying as a leisure activity and before purchasing a kite.

There are two main types of kites that you might want to consider purchasing when you choose you want to invest in a kite, stunt kites and power kites. Stunt kites are a excellent choice for beginners as they can glide without too much support and can perform a number of tricks while in the air. They are constructed with a lot of support so they won’t be ruined very easily. This is perfect for beginners as there is a excellent chance the kite will come crashing down a few times, and it will remain resilient to breakage. As well, they often come in pre built packages, so you don’t have to undertake the time and patience when it comes to putting your new toy together.

Power kites and built for and can maintain a lot of power. It takes much more strength to control a power kite so it is recommended that you practice with a stunt kite before moving up to the power kite levels. Some of these kites can reach speeds upwards of 50 miles per hour and can be used for many purposes. They are much more fragile than stunt kites, so you need to be a small more careful. Thus, beginners and children should not invest in a power kite unless they are sure they can handle the speed and the power.

There are obviously some conditions that are ready made for flying kites and some that you should avoid. Kits are not a seasonal leisure activity though, which is a major benefit. You can essentially glide kites all year round as long as the day’s weather conditions permit. You want to wait for days that have steady wind. Days with fluctuating wind can be just as frustrating as days with no wind at all. It is best to find an open area where the wind can flow freely and provide you with as much consistent wind as possible. Perfect kite flying spots are beaches and open parks.

Flying kites does not come without any dangers. There are some safety precautions that you want to take before involving yourself in this leisure activity or going out to glide a kite. It is very vital to stick to open areas that are far away from power lines, railways and roads. Try to avoid other people as much as possible as well, because powerful kite lines can cause serious injuries to innocent bystanders. Two other very vital safety rules are to never glide a kite in a storm or when there are signs that a storm is coming and never tie yourself to a kite in any circumstance. You never know when the wind or weather could change without warning and you could endure serious injuries.

How to Find the Cheapest Kitesurfing Kites

How to Find the Cheapest Kitesurfing Kites

Kitesurfing is one craze that’s swept the world in the recent years. Whether it is in a remote island in the Pacific, or in a coastal state in the UK, kitesurfing destinations have flourished. Of course, the best way to learn the sport is on some gorgeous tropical island with the warm winds blowing against your face.

While it may be relatively cheap for some people, there are several expenses that you need to make, such as airfare, hotel accommodations and kitesurfing lessons. Although the school might provide for equipment rental, there are some who prefer having their own equipment, such as the kite. To minimize cost, it helps to know where and how to find the cheapest kites in the world.

There are different kinds of kites to suit the type of rider and the wind conditions. The most common types are the inflatable kites and foil kites. Other kite variations are really improvements of these two types. In choosing the kite, you also need to know the number of lines, as there may be 2, 4 or 6 lines in a kite.

Each kite has its own advantages and disadvantages. Kites also come in different sizes and colors. There are also different shapes and designs such as rectangular and bow-type. These kites perform differently under different conditions such as weight of the rider and wind speed. That is why most seasoned riders have more than 1 kite, usually 3 to 5.

This clarifies why you need to know how you can spend less so you can buy more. Here are some tips,
Choose a kite from a known brand. This makes it more durable, thus giving you more mileage. Also, it is simpler to sell a branded used kite, at a higher price.

Browse through the internet to find better deals and discounted prices. Other shops give discounts when you buy in bulk or packages.

Used or second hand kites are also a cheaper deal. The price range for most kites is 0-,500. If you buy used ones, the price substantially drops.

Another way to save on the kite is to convert ancient surfboards into kiteboards. There are some establishments which provide that service.

To get the most out of your kite, you must also know how to take care of them. Sand and water are two main elements to watch out for. Make sure that you remove sand and water off the kite before packing them.

Lay the kite flat on the beach before pumping it up. This reduces bladder twists, which can cause the kite to deform. Also, pump it when you’ve reached the beach and not beforehand. Transporting a pumped up kite can hurt your kite.

Lines must be knot-free. Knots weaken the line and may increase the chance of a line break. Bars must also be washed and checked regularly. When transporting your kite, use its bag.

It pays to know where to find the cheapest kitesurfing kites in the world. But always remember that the primary factor in choosing your equipment is not the price but safety. Choose cheap kites without sacrificing your safety or the safety of others.

In reality, there are no cheap kites. But you can find ways to increase the kite’s mileage through proper care and maintenance.

Power Kites

Filed under: trainer kite — Tags: kites, Power — @ 1:57 pm

Power Kites

When it comes to Power Kites you can dismiss all notions of kite flying as a gentle, relaxing activity. There’s nothing passive about this thrilling sport as high speed winds charge participants across the ground, attached to buggies, landboards or nothing at all. Taking advantage of strong winds and the unique design of these mammoth kites, flyers experience a unique rush as the wind and kite become one.

So, you reckon you’re ready to join in the fun? To get started, power kites which are also known as ‘foils’ are the ideal choice as these two-lined models are smaller than traction kites which come attached to buggies or landboards. Flyers can happily glide along the ground or soar into the air using these soft yet durable models without any extra equipment. Older children supervised by adults can also experience the rush of Power Kites, which when used responsibly can provide hours of outdoor entertainment. The main thing to remember is to glide safely by choosing excellent locations such as spacious beaches or fields for maximum manoeuvring and a soft landing!

For even greater pulling power and control, Traction Kites are the best models on the market. These invigorating kites generate speed quickly with 4 flying lines, 2 power lines and 2 brake lines. Flyers can easily adjust the position and power of these air born giants as they race across the land on buggies or landboards. Without compromising on safety, it’s advised to zoom around with safety helmets and pads in order to delight in your power kite experience to the max.

If flying a Traction Kite sounds like the sport for you then you’ll need to choose whether to choose a buggy or a landboard. Buggies are typically made from stainless steel and are designed to withstand all types of terrain. Equipped with a comfortable seat for maximum movement and control, Traction Kite buggies should easily fit into most car boots, making it a very versatile sport. Landboards like skateboards demand a small more effort to control from the upright rider, but once you’ve got the knack of these lightweight vehicles you’ll be free-styling across the beach and ripping it up on dirt tracks like the best of them.

As always safety is mandatory when it comes to Traction Kites. Before using your landboard or buggy make sure you’re comfortable with a Power or Traction Kite as the incredible high speeds and pulling power of the wind can be perilous if not harnessed correctly.

The joy of Power Kiting is very addictive and once you’ve gained some experience with the basic flying manoeuvres you’ll be able to hone your new skills and have the time of your life. Whether you’re competing in a quick paced buggy board race or free-styling alone with the wind, it’s only a matter of time before friends and family will want to take part too!
