The oldster sets to work untangling a kite’s wing from a string. Once spotless and bandaged, a bird is put in a enclosure to recover.
But while underneath a caring of a Jains a bird of prey, that customarily cooking tiny mammals like mice, will also have to follow a vegetarian diet — cubes of paneer cheese.
Once recovered, a kite will be taken to a roof of a sanatorium and released, holding moody and disintegrating into a sky.
