Sarees are not only for girls

 Naveen was starring at his while walk back home. 

Hey, why are you starring at me? Are you angry? Asked his mom, Rupa 

Yes a little, you treated Neha (his aunt's daughter) very different today. Both you and aunt are pampering her and you forget about me, said Raghu 

Rupa laughed and said 

She wore her first saree today. If you were a girl, you would have worn a saree then I would have pampered even more, said his mom 

They reached home, while Rupa went to kitchen to make food. Raghu went to his room. 

After a while 

So how do I look, asked Raghu 

When Rupa saw him, she burst into laugh. 

I don't have to be a girl to wear a saree, do I? Asked Raghu 

His mom smiled and draped the saree properly. 



Then she thought,  he is right, he doesn't have to be a girl to wear a saree. 

Raghu has so many doubts about the saree, Rupa explained him everything and she started to enjoy it. 

It's just a beginning. 

Now it's been 2 years, 

Mom, how do I look? Asked Raghu 


How many times, I have told you to wear bangles and anklets, when you wear a saree, said Rupa 

Raghu felt wearing bangles and ankles made him more girlier. Rupa pushed him to his room to wear him matching bangles and anklets. 

Rupa smiled and thought, they have come a long way in the past 2 years. The only disappointment she has is, Raghu decided not to grow his hair even longer. But you can't change mothers, they always wants their daughters to have very long hair.
