The terrace catches the wind first — a gust that dares you to let go. On a low-rise roof in Jaipur, strings hum and colorful kites pivot against a hard blue sky while neighbors shout friendly challenges across narrow lanes. You learn to feed line and tension, eyes tracking a rival kite as it climbs or tips away, and the city below settles into evening light.
