It was the Balloon Boy a few days ago and now it is the banning of flying kites in Chennai that is being Tweeted by the good old Madrasis aka Chennaiites.

Don't you think the word 'Madrasi' sounds nice? Oh, yes, I am a good OLD Madrasi in the real sense, meaning I am yet to recognize the name Chennai and I am old.

So what is this kite banning?
It seems there are a few fatal accidents due to kites flying in Chennai.

Two kids died while they went chasing the kites that got loose and two 'two wheeler' riders got their throat slit by the thread of the kite.

Chennai police is contemplating the banning of kites flying within the city limits of Chennai.
