Turakhia brothers: Not just high-flyers but kite flyers too

It's well known that the Turakhia brothers of Directi are expert flyers of Cessnas and Copters. But who knew they dabbled in kite-flying too? The two brothers showed off their skills, atop the eight-storeyed DirectiPlex in Mumbai this week as they celebrated Makar Sankranti.

The Gujarati pair was ringing in the festival after three years. Back then, they had decided to "fly to Ahmedabad in their plane, to celebrate the festival with their cousins," on an impulse.

The two are rarely in the country at the same time. Even this year, while older brother Bhavin will be in Delhi on January 14 — the day of Makar Sankranti — the younger one, Divyank will be off to New York.
