and girls.

The morning is brightful because of the chirping of the birds, beautiful sun-rays asking you to become delightful and the alarm clock which is pushing you to start the day early.Mom is making the breakfast, the little sister is still sleeping calmly and the Dad is wearing the socks to rush to the office. A typical middle clas home where the morning is the most chaotic environment. And you — Harsh, a 16 year old guy doesn’t want to go college. But you can’t say — NO. Your mom will shout at you and probably give you the suplex. So you better wake up and do the chores asap and run.And you die.

Death Of Choice

You want to wear the baby pink color pant to the college. You love to wear clothes of different colors. But you haven’t wore the baby pink color pant. Because it is PINK.You are a straight guy and you don’t have any problem with the gay community. But people judging you as a gay because you wore pink is something you don’t want to deal with. Girls give you the stares as if you are the clown. And almost everyone on streets give you the glimpse of the shock, amusement and distaste.There is no choice to wear, own or flaunt a particular color. You are expected to wear dull colors and keep your choices limited.Be a rebel and try variant colors like yellow, pink or the green and you are discarded from the straight club. Somehow the choice of color is the factor for the gender. Rather the choice of clothing is making a statement.You prepare for the judgement day.

The Battle

You made the first hurdle and bought the pink pant. But actually wearing it is another challenge. Thinking about various scenarios — you come to the conclusion, “It has to be done some day, better be it today”.Yes, you have been taught not to care about what the society thinks. But it matters. Because your clothes make an impression. And because of that — you might lose friends, connection and sometimes become a topic of mockery. Of course you can be rebel. But it comes with its bad outcome.Everything has been figured out. Today is the day — you mark because you will do the inexplainable. You wear the Pink pant.

The Concern

It is sad that such a small choice is the big question of our society. Of course, it has progressed so much and somewhere in the near future, choice of clothing would be something not to fret about. But the seeds of an open mind has to be sown today.And it might as well start from you. Everyone is shocked. Your little sister sees you and is shocked. Your mom is wondering what is wrong with you. Luckily your dad has gone to office.You can’t go to college. Not like these — your mom is shouting at the top of her voice.What now?…
