Set during the Indian festival of Navratri, this sweet story is about
a child who introduces his grandmother to a new perspective on clothing
and gender.
Navratri was Bhargav's favourite festival. He loved everything about it
the twirling chaniyas, the steps of the popat dance, the sweet pedas
after the aarti. But what he loved the most was the way the bangles on
his wrist sang when he danced. But this year, Bhargav wasn't dancing.
Papa had forbidden him from wearing bangles, a morose Bhargav tells Ba.
Is there a still a chance he can hear his bangles sing?
