The Uttarayan celebration at NITSAN 2026 brought colourful kites, traditional treats, friendly competition, and cheerful team moments to our office terrace. The morning was busy with deadlines and emails, but by noon, the smell of til ke ladoos, sugarcane, and treats showed that the celebrations were near. It wasn’t just another day at work. It was Uttarayan, and our terrace was ready for the sky to be filled with colourful kites.

Sky Wars: Kites, Manja & Friendly Competition

Before the first kite went up, teams gathered with their kites (patang) and strings (manja) in hand. There was plenty of laughter, friendly teasing, and playful challenges such as “Teri patang toh main hi kaatunga!” The terrace became a stage for friendly competition:

Frontend & QA – “The Sky Coders”
Backend & AI – “The Algorithm Aviators”
Marketing – “The Creative Climbers”

Dheel de, dheel de, de re bhaiya, Us patang ko dheel de.

Everyone got their kites ready, tying knots, fixing tails, and wondering whose kite would be cut first. The terrace was full of excitement, and as the first kite flew, it felt like a mini sky festival. Every time a kite cut another, the cheer of “Kai Po Che!” and “Aeee Lapet!” filled the air, bringing the joy of Uttarayan right into the office.

Traditional Uttarayan Treats: Til Ladoos and Sugarcane

After the fun kite fights, it was time to enjoy the festival’s traditional treats. Plates were full of til ke ladoos, rice ladoos, and fresh, juicy ganna (sugarcane).

Every bite brought the warmth of Uttarayan, connecting everyone with the festival’s simple joys. Laughter and chat flowed as freely as the sugarcane juice, making colleagues feel like one big family celebrating together.

From Terrace to Heart: A Sky Full of Kites, A Day Full of Memories

As the sun began to set, painting the sky orange and pink, we took a moment to enjoy it all. Kites still flew above, laughter hung in the air, and everyone felt happy and relaxed. The office terrace, usually just a workspace, had turned into a place full of fun and memories.

With a gentle breeze and smiling faces, the day came to an end. Everyone left ready to take the festive vibes home, celebrate with family, and remember that even at work, Uttarayan can turn ordinary moments into extraordinary memories.

The Uttarayan celebration at NITSAN was more than a festive break. It brought teams together, encouraged friendly competition, and created memories beyond everyday work. From colourful kites to traditional treats, every moment reflected the energetic and people-focused culture at NITSAN.

Kites fly, spirits high, khushi chhayi in every eye.
