Makar Sankranti was celebrated across India on January 14, ushering in a four-day festival honouring the Sun God. The celebrations, which continue until January 17, are usually marked by colourful kite
flying on rooftops, family get-togethers and vibrant skies across states such as Gujarat, Rajasthan, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra.
While many enjoyed the festivities at home, some office-goers found a creative way to take part from their workplaces — a moment captured in a video that is now gaining attention online.
Office Workers Find A Fun Workaround
The video shows a group of employees celebrating Makar Sankranti inside an office. Since they could not fly real kites on rooftops, they decided to recreate the experience at their desks.
The clip opens with a man standing near his workstation, holding a long wire in his hands as if it were a kite string. Behind him, a woman helps by using a computer mouse like a reel, pretending to control the string. The setup looks playful and instantly sets the tone for the joke.
A Laptop Becomes The Kite
In the next moment, another colleague appears from behind the cubicle wall. He lifts a laptop high in the air, holding it like a kite flying in the sky. The screen faces forward, making it look even more dramatic.
The group stays in character, moving the wire and mouse carefully, as if they are deeply focused on flying an expensive kite. Toward the end of the clip, everyone breaks into laughter, clearly enjoying the moment and each other’s company.
Text And Caption Add To The Humour
The text on the video reads, “Makar Sankranti Corporate Majdoor Edition,” poking fun at employees who have to work during festivals. The caption simply says, “Tag your colleagues.”
