Trudie Styler Instagram – Spellbound watching pigeons racing from a rooftop in Old Delhi last week – took me right back to my childhood when the men of my street (‘pigeon-fanciers’) also raced pigeons, and there would be such excitement among us all when the birds started to arrive home. They call it Kabootabazi in India, but it’s a pastime (and means of communication) that has been enjoyed and put to good use for thousands of years all over the world. How amazing that they find their way home over hundreds of miles. Watching them wheel and turn over our heads brings back so many memories of my childhood, and also of the wondrous feeling of childhood dreams of flying.
