In a small town in India lived a family of five - Mr. and Mrs. Sharma, their three sons - Ankit, Rohit and Sudhir. Ankit was married and had a small son, while Rohit was pursuing his studies in another city. Sudhir, the youngest, had a secret wish that he had never shared with anyone. He loved dressing up as a woman.
One day, Sudhir came to know that the annual Ganesh festival was approaching. It was a 10-day long festival celebrated with great enthusiasm in their town. Sudhir saw this as an opportunity to live his dream and dress up as a woman for the entire duration of the festival.
However, he knew that it was not going to be easy to convince his family. They were a conservative family, and Sudhir had never shared his secret with anyone. Sudhir decided to take it one step at a time.
First, he talked to his brother Ankit, who was initially shocked to hear about Sudhir's secret. However, he eventually came around and agreed to support his brother in his dream.
Next, Sudhir talked to his mother. She was hesitant at first but eventually, she saw how important it was to Sudhir and agreed to support him too.
Now, the only hurdle was Sudhir's father. He was a strict man and had a conservative outlook towards gender roles. Sudhir was nervous about how his father would react. However, he decided to take the plunge and talk to his father.
To his surprise, his father listened patiently and then said, "Sudhir, I may not understand your desire to dress up as a woman, but if this is what you want, I won't stand in your way. But, remember, you have to be responsible and respectful while doing it."
Sudhir was overjoyed. His whole family had agreed to support him. The next 10 days were going to be the best days of his life.
On the first day of the festival, Sudhir dressed up in a beautiful green saree, adorned with matching bangles and earrings. He was shy and nervous at first, but his family supported him and cheered him on. Sudhir felt like a princess as he joined the procession to take the Ganpati idol for immersion.
The next few days were filled with fun and festivities. Sudhir dressed up in different sarees every day, and his family took turns doing his makeup and hair. Sudhir's sister-in-law even taught him how to drape a saree perfectly.
On the last day of the festival, Sudhir got ready in a beautiful pink saree. He had never felt so beautiful and confident in his life. He joined his family in the procession and thanked Lord Ganesh for making his dream come true. It was a day Sudhir would never forget.
From that day on, Sudhir's family accepted him for who he was, and Sudhir was grateful for their love and support.
