Kites To Connect Two Continents: Udaipur flyer to set world record
Udaipur based, international kite flyer Abdul Malik is all ready to set another world record. This time Malik is going to bridge two continents with his kites.
Sounds unbelievable? but Abdul Malik is quiet confident to make it true. He is officially invited by government of Turkey to fly 3000 kites from Uskudar province of Istandbul which is in Asia; it is on the shore of Bosporus Straight which on the other side has European part of Turkey.
The distance between both sides is 4.5 km as told by Abdul Malik.
Malik is going to fly kites on 27th July with his Turkish acquaintance Mehmet Naci Akoz.
The project is supported by Turkish government and Abdul Malik is chosen after short listing few best international kite flyers.
The officials of Guinness World Records will be present there as this event will make a new record of connecting two continents by flying 3000 kites altogether.
“I am going to fly 3000 kites; half of kites will have Indian flag color and other half with Turkish flag. I will try to connect two continents as a message of peace and harmony in the world. It is show that distance never affects the feeling of love and unity. My kites will be like peace ambassador for both continents.” said Malik in a press conference held today at Udaipur.
Before this historical tour to Turkey, Abdul Malik on Nirjala Ekadashi is going to show current political crisis and corruption in country by his 25 feet tiger, cow and dragon shaped kites.
Two tigers (orange and white) will describe Anna Hazare and Baba Raamdev who stood against corruption while dragon is the corruption spread in the country and cow will play part of government who looks helpless at this time. Malik will demonstrate tigers being hunting the dragon of corruption in sky.
Stunt Kite will also attract audience; it flies with the speed of a jet. “Our club “Udai Kite Club” will fly 51 kites altogether, we are also going to distribute two thousand kites to children, as kite flying is losing its charm, we always try to keep this tradition of kites alive”, says Abdul Malik.
