Geographer — Kites

When I was a kid, I always dreamed of being a professional geographer, a person who could roam the world in order to know everything about natural landmarks. In this silly world of mine, I imagined that I could fly on a kite, overlooking fjords and Fords alike while letting the wind carry me along. Alas, pragmatism hit me at a slightly older age and this dream was dropped permanently. However, each year on Sankranthi (A South Indian harvest festival which is celebrated by flying kites), I am reminded of this dream. As I sit here in India getting ready to fly kites today, I “re-stumbled” upon one of my favorite finds of recent on Hype Machine, Geographer’s Kites which fit perfectly with the occasion. To those of you that still want to be Geographers, perhaps you can find some inspiration in a bit of holiday kite fighting and this song.

Happy Sankranthi!
