My Day as a Girl (Part 7)

 After the party at Minal aunt’s house I decided to make some adjustments in the daily schedule so that I could add exercises. I looked through my schedule and found that if I wake up 30 mins early and do the cleaning then I could do some exercise which will help me in loose some weights faster as daily chores too were helping with weight loss. Soon I started with Yoga. In the meanwhile I got close to Neha as she started referring me as her bestie. On the kitty party days Neha started to come over to my house to have dressing sessions. As sis again came for holidays we again did some twinning and braiding sessions where sis taught me various braiding designs. Days passed and Neha now invited me to her house for waxing sessions and girly nights, which were auto approved by mom. We still kept the sexual intentions out of the question. But it was sure that we were becoming closer with each passing sessions.

Around 9 months passed from the day I was forced into female dressing and household chores. By now I had lost a significant amount of fat and was looking quite fit. I would have to stuff my bra to have fuller look. But one fine day the unthinkable happened. As I finished post dinner chores and decided to retire into my room there was a letter and a gift box. I kept the gift box aside started reading the letter. The letter read:

Hi Shlok/Stuti,
I have been a terrible mother to force you into this way of living. But I couldn’t ignore the lazy person you were becoming. I just wanted to make sure for you to have a healthy life. The way you were adding weights made me worry. I wanted you to join some gym so that you could have shed those weights. You were adamant to not doing so. So I talked to your father to see if you can join his store as that would have helped you to get in shape too. You walked out of that as well. I was always in constant fear as to what was going to happen. That’s when a regular customer in my parlor explained how she disciplined her son by forcing him into dresses. I too found that idea fruitful. I had a discussion with father regarding this. He too agreed but warned me to be strict with you to implement the changes. As I forced you into things I finally found you to do things that I wanted. In the beginning I hated myself for doing it. As the days progressed and you fell into groove I liked having presence of a daughter around the house. But now as you have started doing exercises and lost a significant amount of weight I don’t see any reason to humiliate you anymore. So from tomorrow onward you are relieved from the household duties. I have selected a maid to do them, she will join from tomorrow. I still would like you to continue your exercises. I would never try to humiliate you unless you force me to.
I have selected a night pajama suit for men for you. I have taken out all the female dresses from the wardrobe which I will keep with me as a memory. I don’t know if this will make any sense to you, but I love you.
Love,
Your Mom

I was happy for my freedom. I went in changed to my boy night suit in long time. I found a stud on vanity which replaced the earrings of mine. I kept the earring along with my jewellery in the same drawer. I released the braid and made my hair into bun. I took the letter and started searching for mom. She was sitting on sofa watching daily soap. I hugged her and promised to take care of my health. I told her though I didn’t like the dresses but I liked my hair and I wanted to keep it at mid back length. She agreed too. Then she asked something which was tough for me to accept. She asked for 1 day every year when she can dress me the way she wanted. I was unsure but the way she looked at me made me to melt. Eventually I agreed and asked when it is going to be. She said the first day when she made me Stuti which she wanted to celebrate as Stuti’s birthday. I reluctantly agreed.
After the mother-son moment I went into my room and informed sis & Neha about the new change. Both of them were little sad but were happy that I am getting my normal life back. Still sis requested if sometimes she can dress me, I denied but said she can still braid my hair if she wanted. Now my daily lie changed, Everyday after waking up I go for yoga and later I join my father in his grocery store. With time I started getting close with Neha too.

And today Is my, I mean Stuti’s birthday.

My Day as a Girl (Part 6)

 Since my sister convinced me for twinning, we needed dresses that match. So we needed shopping. She started asking me for it. I denied her saying that I had to make dinner and also I was not going to market like I was. That’s when mom pitched in. First I was relieved from dinner duties and she declared we were having dinner outside. Then she asked what was wrong in the way I was dressed. There was none. I looked beautiful, not as beautiful as my sister, but yeah I looked beautiful. I had no response. Then my sis said that anyway our relatives, mom’s friends have already seen me, so it doesn’t change anymore. Another valid point that couldn’t be encountered. I surrendered. So soon mom and sis got busy in deciding dresses for twinning for the next 3 days. Finally mom left for dressing up and asked me to prepare teas for 3. Soon she reappeared wearing a designer saree in red and black along with necessary accessories. Then we started for shopping.

First we entered into a dress store. We ordered patiala suits in pink colour with mirror works all over it, black knee length frocks in Georgette one each for my sister. My sis dragged me with her to the changing room to see if the patiala fitted for us. She then told me to remove my blouse. I asked her to leave the room but she didn’t. I had to remove blouse and was standing in skirt and bra. She placed the patiala suit over my head and the fit was good. Then she made me wear the new frock and the fit was good as well. Then I removed the frock wore the dress I was wearing in home. She pushed me outside and checked her dresses as well. We packed them and entered into a saree store where mom selected 3 black chiffon sarees with different borders. Mom placed each saree on my shoulder saying how good it looked on me. I was blushing red. Then she ordered matching blouses. When I asked why 3 sarees mom said she too wanted to be part of the dressing up. Then we entered into lingerie store where my sis and mom picked the lingerie for me in matching colors.
Now the turn was for shoes. Mom ordered patiala jutti for both of us. The salesman came and asked me my feet size. I nodded saying I don’t know. Soon he brought a measuring table and when I placed my feet over it he started complementing the way my feet looked. Then he showed patiala jutti in pink to match with the dress. This one too has some stone works over it. Once I pushed my feet through them he started complementing again. This time i blushed and my sis saw it. Then we took black 6 inch pumps for me. Meanwhile sis too had selected her shoes. As we were leaving my sis started teasing me on how the salesman was looking at me and how I blushed. I kept pleading her to stop but she didn’t. Soon we entered into a jewellery shop. Mom started selecting matching jewellery for the dresses. Sis dragged me with her to the bracelet section. We were just browsing through them. Mom called me and told me to bring my hand forward. She removed the bracelet from my hand and started sliding bangles to see the size. Then she purchased 24 pink bangles, 24 red bangles. By that time sis returned 2 bracelets for me and her. Then mom along with sis selected earrings, necklaces. As the jewellery shopping was done we decided to have food. So we called my father to join us and we decided to wait.
As we were waiting sis found a mehendi designer shop. She asked my mom to get our hands designed. Soon we sat there and the designer started decorating our hands. By the time he was done even my father reached and we had dinner together. After we reached home my father complemented the way we sisters looked. Soon I moaned saying that I was the brother. He laughed and said he couldn’t find the brother among us and this time even mom & sis too laughed. I bowed my head in shame. My mom placed her hand under my chin and said she was proud to have2 beautiful daughters. For satisfaction of father we took some more pics. Then we called it a day. Next day morning after daily ritual as I was preparing breakfast sis came from behind and said me to show my hand. Seeing the mehendi designs she started teasing that I am going to get a nice husband who will love me. After bath we twinned in patiala suit. The next day we twinned in frock. On the third and last day mom joined us in our dressing. She handed the saree to my sis, got herself dressed. Then she came to my room and dressed me in saree. Over those 3 days we enjoyed a lot. Then My sis left for bangalore and again I started doing all household chores.

The day before the party at Minal aunt’s house she visited us and reminded mom about me being the hostess for the party. I looked towards mom with pleading eyes to deny but mom agreed to her suggestion. After mom agreed she told that I would be leaving for her house after lunch. On the party day mom invited her for lunch. After lunch and cleaning I left for her house with aunt. As we reached her house she called her daughter Sneha and introduced me as Shlok with the backstory as why I was dressed like this. When Sneha asked why I was there, she responded saying how well I hosted party at my house and how she wants Sneha to learn from me. I was embarrassed to be there in another person’s house as hostess but a little happy that I would be the one teaching. Then she told us to start preparing for the party and confirmed that we had the freedom to choose the menu.
Soon we moved to the kitchen and I looked in refrigerator as to see what we could prepare. I declared we were going to prepare vegetable cutlet as they had enough vegetables. She soon started to fall in groove. We decided to prepare masala soda as welcome drink. Then we started chopping vegetables for cutlet. She made sure to get the details to my punishments and how I performed all those. After we finished chopping the vegetables we put a bit of salt and let it rest. By that time we started being relaxed around each other. I started preparing the masala for cutlet and added the vegetables by removing water from it. Then we shaped them and put into freezer to hold the shapes. As we still had some time we got seated and started gossiping. I took the opportunity and asked her if she was going to gym as she had maintained her body well. She denied and gave me her workout regime which was not very hard but still effective. Since we were two we decided to serve cutlets hot so we thought of frying during the party.
Just about then aunt arrived and checked if everything was ready. I detailed her the plan and she was satisfied with it. So she told us to get ready and handed us 2 packets. We rushed to Neha’s room to get ready. As Neha went in to get freshened I was checking her room. It looked nothing less than what they show in movies. The room had a big vanity, 2 large wardrobes and posters of Disney princesses and Mahendra Singh Dhoni the Indian Cricketer. After she finished I went in to get fresh. By the time I had returned she had laid the dresses from the bag. They were knee length ghagra choli with all accessories like earrings, necklaces, armbands, waistbands, anklets, mojri a traditional Indian shoe and matching lingerie. She handed me a towel and told to use her restroom to change into lingerie. By the time I was done even she had dressed in lingerie and we were standing in towels with lingerie. Now she started her make up and then did mine. We made our hair into buns. Then she handed me some cotton to stuff in my bra to give a fuller look. Then we picked our respective cholis. Since they had strings on the back we tied them for each other. Then we slipped the half slips and tied the ghagra. Then she took dupatta of my set of dress pinned the center part on my bun and took both sides inserted them around my waist exposing navel. She too draped in same way. Then we wore the accessories and moved to kitchen. I started preparing tea and guided her to make masala soda.
Soon all other aunts arrived and party started. As Neha started serving them masala soda I started frying cutlets and preparing tea. I fried all the cutlets by the time we were called in to serve tea. I arranged the cutlets and chutney neatly on the dining table in separate plates and cups. Neha started serving them. Then I carried the tea in the tray while Neha served them. All the aunts seemed happy with out service and soon gone to their gossips. Me and Neha too moved into Neha’s room to continue our gossip. Meanwhile Neha decided to have a photo shoot. I agreed on condition that they were to remain confidential. We were called into the hall for the appreciation, so we wrapped the photo session and shared mobile numbers. As appreciation were pouring we started tanking everyone. Then as I went in to change before leaving Minal aunt said everything that i wore were gift from her again I thanked her and left with mom to my home. Mom looked satisfied and was happy the way I looked. After reaching home I retired to my room as I was tired and mom too didn’t mind. I slept peacefully that day.

My Day as a Girl (Part 5)

 Soon me and sis got involved in unboxing gifts as I was relieved from household chores. There were varieties of ear rings, necklaces, dresses. I was still waiting to see what my sister has gifted. We opened her gift in the end. It was very large of all the boxes I have received. My eyes got widened seeing the size. She was very excited. once I opened there were boxes of many sizes. I started from the largest one. Inside the box there was a black midi and a white blouse. I set it aside opened the next, it had all lingerie in latest design and satin. It also contained a petticoat of half length. I looked at my sis confused. She said it was a half slip. The next box had a open toe 3 inch heels with ankle strap. In the next box there were multiple small boxes. The first box had an ankle bracelet, the next had a 3 layer gold plated neck chain, the third had dangling earrings in rose gold color, fourth had a bracelet, the fifth had simple ring with 2 hearts while one had S written in it other was stone studded and the last had a simple bracelet watch. I looked at my sister as my eyes were welling up. She could not understand anything for a moment. Soon she realized that I was not very happy with all the gifts I received. She tried to reason but I was in no mood to be reasoned. Soon I was alone. I knew if I left my room messy I might get more punishment. So i cleaned up my room, placed the jewels in their respective boxes on top drawer of my vanity(yes MY vanity). I again started taking rest.

As we were called in for dinner my mom declared for next 3 days all I was supposed to do was cooking only, house cleaning would be handled. I finished my usual dinner and was going to clean the vessels. Mom stopped and said that even though she is punishing me, she is not a devil. I went to my room tried to sleep. But the events of the day were not letting me to. I was angry and embarrassed. Angry on my parents for the pains, on my sister for the gift and embarrassed thinking what people will think of me now. After some time I found my mom peeking through the door, I got conscious and sat on my bed. Mom came in and kissed on my forehead. After long time I was seeing my sweet mother rather than the strict one. As she asked I opened the gifts again and showed them to her. The dress gifted by sis was neatly stacked in wardrobe and jewels in vanity. There were some cash in the gifts which I handed to my mother. She applied some lotion over my ear piercings and left.
Habitually I got up early the next day, finished my daily rituals and went into hall. Unlike other days I found my mom doing the cleaning. She didn’t let me do them saying my ears needed to be healed. Then she asked about pain which were significantly less. That day I had to make 3 cups of tea but all of them were served on table. Soon I got involved in preparing breakfast. After breakfast mom and dad left for their respective offices. I took bath, cleaned the dresses and put them to dry. Then I moved to kitchen to prepare lunch. As I was cooking someone came from behind started clearing throat. I turned to find my sister. She was the only person on whom I can show anger. So I turned back and continued cooking. Sis asked whether I noticed her dress. i denied as I didn’t. Soon she came in front of my face and didn’t let me continue. I turned and asked what she wanted. She just wanted to show me the dress she was wearing. She was looking very pretty. That’s when I asked if she took back her gift. She denied and left. She came back after changing and stood beside me.
I was curious to why she changed. So I asked why did she change as she looked pretty. She said that she wanted to show me the dress. Soon we started talking. I told about all the rules of mom and my lifestyle. She complemented saying I had lost weight. Then she started talking about her office and friends. She then told me about how her friends are twinning with their younger sisters and how she could not as she never had one. Now the gift and her dress made sense to me. But still I wasn’t convinced so came her best weapon, The Puppy face. It had been making me do things from school time and worked again. She was elated and ran to her room to start preparing. On the lunch table her happiness was on full display. When mom asked the reason she said she will know very soon.
After we had our lunch she came over to my room and took out the dress from wardrobe. As I entered the room she told me to clean my face and come. As I settled in she finished my make up and then started working on my hair which was made into Dutch side braid. Then she gave me the dress to wear and started explaining how to adjust the half slip. As I was finishing up the dressing part she ran into her room. While going she said I must swipe under the skirt before sitting. Soon she emerged from the door after finishing her make up, dressing and wearing all necessary accessories and caught me wondering my look. Then she decorated me with necklace, bracelet, ring, ankle bracelet and watch. As she reached to my ear I flinched a bit but it was not that painful, she took out the heavier traditional earring and made me wear the dangler. Then she made me to stand up beside her. We were looking like carbon copy. We took a selfie and sent to my mom. Within minutes she came rushing and helped us getting more pics. As persuaded by my sister I agreed for more twinning sessions until her leaves are over.

My Day as a Girl (Part 4)

 The day after party, after post-lunch cleaning mom called me to get coconut oil and told me to get seated in front of her. She started massaging the scalp followed by brushing. While brushing my hair she started saying how me taking care of house has helped her in looking after the parlor. She made sure to say that I have started loosing weight. (This must happen as I barely ate anything in last month and did so much of work.) Then she started praising me about how I handled the party and the nice comments she received due to my work in the party made her feel nice. She was quite happy but she made sure that I must follow this routine for another 4 to 6 months to get desired result.

Seeing Mom happy I thought of asking if she really wanted me to host Minal aunt’s party the next month. Affirmative was the response. So tried my best to persuade her to change her mind. She said that she has already given her word and being her son I must fulfill it. She also said that aunt had asked me for following next month’s theme as well which was also agreed upon. I frowned hearing the theme part as not only I have to be a girl but also wear some unknown dress. So I revolted and shouted big fat “No” which followed with some pleading. Seeing her unmoved I kept quiet.
That’s when she said actually shouted that first I disobeyed her, then told her that I was not going to let her keep her promise and make her ashamed in front of her friend forever. She again said that I did all this while being on the top of my voice. There was a pin drop silence for a minute as I didn’t have any response. That’s when she declared that I must be punished as I had just undid all the good deeds of last month. I looked at her in pleading eyes to listen about the punishment, but she brushed it saying I would know it the next day.
The next day things were going smooth but there was a cold war between me and mom. On the breakfast table my father asked about the cold war between the mom and the “Daughter”. I felt like the earth below me opened up and swallowed me. I could not look at my father and was looking at my feet. That’s when mom told to my Dad that I was going to get my ear piercing and the reason for it. For some unknown reason even father sided with mom. I thought at least I could have joined father’s store earlier. But by then things have gone out of hand. Then father said to mom to make sure to follow the ear piercing traditions. Mom too smiled and said she will consult a priest if there is an auspicious period. I knew I was doomed.
As suggested by priest the ceremony was to be held a week after. Mom had invited her friends from kitty party, their daughters, few relatives who stayed near by, the priest while making sure my father and sister attend the ceremony. My sister arrived after 2 days. She had brought gifts for everyone. When I asked about my gift she said she would reveal the gift on the day of the ceremony. Everyone got busy in the preparation while I took care of the house. On the day of ceremony mom came to room with a beautiful yellow half saree. She also handed me turmeric paste to apply while taking bath. Just when I was entering for bath sister turned and said to remove body hairs before applying the paste. I went in followed the instructions.When I came out wearing towel around my chest I found my sis seating in my room.
She clarified that she was there to help with dressing. I informed her I knew how to dress as I am wearing dresses since over a month and I have worn variety of dresses except a saree. She smiled sheepishly but still wanted to dress me. I couldn’t deny anymore as she had made her puppy face. She first handed a lace yellow panty. I knew it wasn’t mine. She confirmed this was part of my gift and everything that I was going to wear for the ceremony were her gifts except for that. She said pointing to a box on the vanity which looked like a jewellery box. I wore the panty and next she handed me lace yellow bra of my size. My loose male flesh fitted into the cups. As I was wearing the robe I could see I had lost some weight.
My sis stopped me and gestured to get seated in front of vanity. She said that she was about to do make up as instructed by mom. I kept quiet and let her proceed. She first brought out a tweezers started shaping the eyebrows. Soon they were shaped in thin arch. Then she plucked my facial hair as well. After plucking she cleaned my face and gave a nice facial massage. Then she proceeded with the makeup. After applying base foundation she started working on my eyes. Eyes were lined carefully followed by pink eye shadow. Cheeks were highlighted and pink blush was added. Soon she shifted her attention to the lips. Lips were lined carefully and painted in pretty pink followed be pink lip gloss. Now was the dressing. I was handed a yellow petticoat, I wore it making sure make up is not smudged. My sis came forward and tightened the petticoat more. Then I wore the lehanga which had a nice embroidery border towards the leg. It was followed by blouse with short sleeves having V neck and U back designs. The top of the cuts were embroidery as well. Then she draped the pink dupatta and completed the dressing. Then she combed my hair backwards with center partition and decorated my hair with flowers.
After I was dressed she opened the jewellery box. It contained the traditional gold jewellery of the the house. She took the necklace and tied around my neck. Soon it was followed by 12 bangles in each hand and it ended with a golden traditional bangle in each hand. After she was done my arms were adorned with gold armlets, waist had a waist belt and ankles had silver anklet with lots of bells. She left me in front of vanity saying not to move and reappeared after around 1 hour wearing dress similar to mine. Only her jewellery was designer and she had a cute hoop stone studded nose ring. She proceeded to take a selfie and I agreed as she promised to keep it private.
By the time we were done the guests had arrived, the ceremony started. Soon mom came to the room and along with my sis took me to the center of the ceremony. I was made to sit on a small wooden stool which was only 6 inch high from ground. As the ceremony began the priest asked my mom if she had done my renaming ceremony. Mom was confused. The priest clarified since I was her son and for ear piercing I was presented as a girl I must be renamed before proceeding. Both mom and dad agreed for renaming. Now I was traditionally renamed as Stuti. I was embarrassed to the core and could not face anyone. Then priest chanted some hymns and now time for piercing came. Some ladies came and held me together. My mom pointed on my ears to pierce and sis passed on the golden hoop earrings to the priest. The priest came up with a needle, heated it and pierced my ears and put the earrings. Tears were rolling from my eyes everyone seemed happy though. Soon the priest concluded the ceremony. Now I was taken back to my room by my sis. Once in my room I hugged her and cried. She consoled me.
After the ceremony over everyone ate food and my sis fed me in my room. First time in long time I was having variety of dishes including sweets. After that she helped me in changing to a nighty. I was still wearing the jewels except the waist chain and armlets. I slept and was again woke up after 7 PM. Now I freshened and sis asked me to start opening the gifts.

My Day as a Girl (Part 3)

 As I finished sweeping mom seemed satisfied. Then she called me to teach how to wash dresses worn on previous day.

Soon I hand washed the nighty, panty and the bra. Then she told me to dry them on the roof.
While going up she reminded the lingerie should be kept hidden in the lower rows.
Rest of the night was uneventful. I helped her in cooking, learnt how to make dal.
After dinner I cleaned vessels and the kitchen. By around 11 PM I went to sleep.
As I was about to enter I was reminded about the rules.
For 2-3 weeks everything seemed to work out smoothly.

But then one day, mom brought out her expensive porcelain set. It was a complete set including 12 cups and saucers, 3 serving bowls, 12 serving plates and cutlery to go with them. It had to be cleaned for next day’s tea party.
As I was cleaning the cups and stacking them two of them slipped and broke. After that all hell broke loose.
Mom was very angry and started scolding me for ruining her party. I got 4-5 slaps on each cheek as return gift.
Then she started searching for another set. This time she stood by my side and wiped each item and stacked them neatly for the next day.

As we were done she dragged me to my bathroom and ordered to strip. I removed the nighty I was wearing that day.
She reminded me to remove the bra as well. Then she started waxing using wax strips which was painful.
After waxing my whole body was burning and turned red. She handed a body lotion and told me to use it after a bath.
Once I was done I was back to routine.

The next day after we had lunch she said me to be ready for the party.She declared I will be in-charge of the kitchen and if I did anything wrong then the punishment will be severe.
Then she told the dress for the evening is laid out in the room. It needed no further instruction.
I went up to my room and found a half saree laid out on the bed.
I got myself cleaned and wore the lingerie. Then I came out and requested my mom to help with dressing.
She came in and ordered me to remove the towel.
First went the petticoat which was in matching maroon color to the half saree and it was fastened tightly.
Then she pushed the pushed the lehenga part from my head and tied it around my waist.
Soon she helped me with the choli and tied the string from behind. It was tight and was hard to breathe in.
Then she helped mt with the dupatta and made me seat in from of vanity. Yes by now I have my own vanity with makeup kits, bangles, etc.
She pushed 9 maroon glass bangles in each hand and a silver anklet with lot of bells on my ankles.
She did my make up to look presentable.

As she finished she told me to go to kitchen and prepare tea, kachori and bread pakoda for 12 people.
Soon I was in kitchen and started preparation. With bangles, anklets and tightness of the half saree it was difficult to manage.
Once I got in the groove I forgot about what I was wearing.
After around 30-40 mins mom came and checked in kitchen if tea & snacks were ready. She was happy with the progress.
By 5 PM I finished the snacks and kept them in hot box to keep them warm. Then I started sweeping the house.

As the clock hit 5:30 PM the calling bell rang. I rushed from kitchen and opened the door.
All of my mom’s friends were there at the door wearing lavender sarees of variety of designs.
As I settled them on sofas mom came from her room wearing lavender saree herself.
I was amused but then as I entered the kitchen I could see the porcelains had lavender designs on it.
I took 12 glasses, water and cold drinks from fridge for the party on a serving trolley.
That’s when someone asked when did Shivangi, my sister returned.
Mom had quick reply that I was actually Shlok. They were shocked at first but as mom finished with the story they appreciated.
Some of them actually said that I had lost some weight which I had not noticed yet.

Soon I went to kitchen arranged cups and saucers in the trolley. I poured tea from saucepan into tea pot, hot milk on the creamer, sugar cubes and arranged them on the trolley. I served each of them tea of their choice and was complemented on how well I looked. I thanked each of them before proceeding.
That’s when Minal aunty said she had switched to Green tea. So I rushed to kitchen, brought a green tea sachet, lime wedge and prepared green tea for her.
As I was preparing green tea Neha aunty asked why did she change the dress color. Mom told about my mistake and said as a punishment I was the server of the party.
She was quite happy and pinched on my cheek. Then she asked my mom about no piercings. Mom responded saying those are for punishments and they laughed.
Now I did one more round with the snacks for them and left to prepare dinner.
Today for dinner I started preparing poori chole. During the preparation I was called in several times to serve more snacks, water and cold drinks.
I did considerably well and they all seemed satisfied. As the party was finished and they started leaving, Minal aunty asked if I would help her for her tea party that will happen next month. Mom agreed. Minal aunty made sure I must be wearing something that matches next month’s theme.
After they left mom came and patted on my back saying I did good. Then the usual routine continued.

My Day as a Girl (Part 2)

 It was the day when I was dressed for the first time. My mom had already made her mind from the day before.

Oblivious to her plans I woke up and started with my daily rituals. Then I started to go for a bath.
My mom shouted from the kitchen,”Clean your hairs and leave the shorts and t shirt you’re wearing in the washer.”
I did exactly that. After having a clean bath I came to my wardrobe only to find it empty.

I went to my mom and asked for dresses. She handed me a packet saying all my dresses needed cleaning.
I took the packet and opened a first box. It had a strange looking brief.
I proceeded with the same it came above my waist and started clinching my belly fat.
Now my belly started looking smooth. Later I got to know that it is a control panty.

Then I opened next box and found a padded bra. I threw it on the bed.
When I checked the next it had a floor length satin nighty with a robe.
I threw them an bed and wore my towel. Then I moved to kitchen.
My mom asked why wasn’t I dressed.
Then I said those were women clothes. She got angry and shouted me to wear them and come to kitchen.
I went from there and sat on my bed.

After around 30 mins mom came to my room and asked if I wasn’t dressed yet.
She found me on bed without anything on.
Then she pecked up the bra from bed and told me to bring my hands forward.
I was not going to do that and shouted on her face.
She got angry and slapped me across my face twice very hard.
I could not control anymore and asked her why she wanted me to dress like that.
Then she pinched on the loose fat on my chest and said it was needed for them.
I again revolted and after 2 more slaps I forwarded my hands and she passed the straps through them.
Then she went behind told me to bring my shoulders close and clasped the bra.
I was shocked to see the cups of bra filled.

Then she picked the nighty from the bed and started walking towards me.
I thought of revolting again. When I looked up seeing the red eyes of mom I kept mum.
She slid the nighty from my head. It was sleeveless.
Then she handed me the robe and I wore it without ant fuss.

Then I was dragged to her room. I tried to oppose and as a response got 2 more slaps.
I have never seen her so angry. So I stopped protesting and let her do what she wanted.
She made me seated on her dresser and started middle parting my hair. My shoulder length hair was now converted to high ponytail.
Then she dragged me to the kitchen saying rest can be completed in the afternoon after lunch.
I didn’t dare to ask what she meant by rest.

Once in kitchen she pointed towards the sink and ordered me to clean the vessels there.
I protested saying those were a woman’s job. Even before I could complete a tight slap landed on my cheek.
After completion she inspected the vessels and said I should do better and faster in future.
Then she told me to get a bucket of water to the hall. Once I brought she pored some floor cleaner and a cloth.
Then she ordered me to squat and start moping the house.
I just began to protest landed another slap and this time she said until I am in this house I should do as asked.
I squatted and started cleaning the floor, first the hall, then my parent’s room followed by mine.
I was tired and slept on my bed after finishing with the moping.

Just then she entered the room and called me outside. Once reached she started showing the places I could have done better.
As I was about to shout she showed her palm as if she was going to hit, I kept quiet.
Then she dragged me to the kitchen and asked me to chop vegetables.
As I didn’t know she showed me how to chop then she continued with cooking.
As she was finishing the lunch preparation she ordered me to set the table for lunch.
I remembered how she sets plates upside down with spoons by it’s side and every plate neatly placed on small table mats.
As I was finishing arranging the plates my father reached for lunch. Soon I was running from kitchen to dining hall for keeping the dishes.
Today she prepared Rice, Dal Tadka, Mix veg curry and some chips.
After arranging I sat along with my father to eat as I had not eaten anything since morning.
That’s when my mom came and ordered me to start serving my father and said I can eat after my father.
I looked towards my father to get any support but in return I got cold stare from him as well.
After father finished food I served food for my mom and then I started serving for me.
As the serving bowls had very less left I started walking towards the kitchen to get some more foods.
So my mom asked what was I doing. When I said I was going for more food she clarified there is none and this much is what I am getting to eat.
I was about to open my mouth, she shouted If I wanted to eat I should eat what is given or else I am not going to get any.
As we started eating my mom after lunch we will make sure your body is hairless and I will let you know the rules of staying under my roof.
I almost choked my food but then she signaled me to eat, so I continued.

As I finished having lunch mom pointed towards kitchen. I understood and walked to the kitchen to clean the vessels.
Once I was done with vessels thought of taking rest, so walked towards my room. Mom called me as she was watching TV.
After I reached there mom asked me to bring coconut oil and a comb from her vanity and sit in front of her on floor.
As I did she opened my pony and started brushing. Then she took some oil in her palm and started spreading on my scalp.
Soon she gave me a pleasant massage. Seeing her relaxed I asked her about the parlor .
She said since today less customers her parlor girls were handling it.

After she done with the massage she herself went and kept the oil bottle herself. She cleaned and came back with a tube in her hand. She handed me the tube.
She told me to apply on my body below the shoulder, have a warm shower after 30 mins and to leave the nighty and lingerie I was wearing in the wash bin.
After following her instructions I found my body hairs washed away.
I dried myself left the old dresses in the wash bin and moved to my room wearing towel on my waist.
As I reached near bed where a knee length lavender colored satin nighty was placed with matching lingerie I found my mom standing there.
She lightly slapped my arm and wrapped my towel over my chest saying people having those pretty little things over chest must wear like this.
Then she handed me the control panty which I wore. Then I removed my towel and she started draping the bra.
When she pushed chest a bit forward while clasping the bra, she said I must learn how to wear bra on my own.
When I turned to mom and had only been able to say “But Mom!” landed a tight slap on my cheek.
I hung my head and started wearing the nighty. It rested right above my knees.
Then she combed my hair by middle parting it and made a low pony.

I was dragged to the kitchen where she taught me how to make tea.
She took tea in a cup and told me to get a notebook to write the rules.
I followed without any question.
As I reached to the dining where she was having tea, she started dictating.
First she dictated, “My name is Stuti.” and told me to repeat the same for at least 10 times.
I looked up and said, “But mom I am Shlok.” Reply was quick from her, Not Anymore.
I finished writing 10 times.

Next she started dictating the rules.
Rule-1: I must wake up by 5 AM, then I must clean the porch before the sunrise.
Rule-2: I must sweep the hall and kitchen. Afterwards I must finish my daily morning routine.
Rule-3: By 7 AM I must make 2 cup of tea and serve them in my parent’s room.
Rule-4: Then I must chop vegetables necessary for breakfast and must help my mom in preparing breakfast.
Rule-5: Once breakfast is prepared I must clean last day’s nighty, lingerie and take shower.
Rule-6: I must chop the vegetables kept for lunch and keep them ready for my mom to make lunch.
Rule-7: I must serve my parents food and should eat only after they finished.
Rule-8: I must clean the vessels, dining table after every meal (breakfast, lunch and dinner).
Rule-9: After lunch I must collect all the dresses kept for laundry and finish them.

Rule-13: I must never raise my voice on my mom.
Rule-14: I must eat whatever is given without question.
Rule-15: After dinner I must clean the stoves, induction and kitchen thoroughly.
After finishing she said, “Remember these rules must be followed if you want to stay here. Else I will throw you out of the house.”
Then she added, “Every time you break a rule I will add a point from 1 to 5. Once it crosses 10 you will be punished.”
And finally she said after a pause, “If rule-13 is ever broken the punishment is instant and it can be severe. Be Aware!!”

Then I read all the rules again as advised. Once I lifted my head she told me to turn the page.
She again started dictating,”The Diet”.
I became a little happy which was short-lived.
Breakfast: Salad -> Green Veggies or Sprouts
Lunch: 2 rotis with boiled dal
Dinner: Soup
1 apple if I feel hungry anytime during the day.

As I was finished she declared, “All these rules are applicable from Today.”
I looked towards her confused. She blurted, “Don’t look at my face and start picking up the broomstick.”
I knew instantly which rule to follow as the clock showed 5 PM and started running.

My Days as a Girl (Part 1)

 I was sitting on a stool in front of my vanity mirror waiting for my mom to call me and looking down at my green painted toes in 3 inch peep toe pumps.

Well, Today is my birthday or let’s just say first anniversary. It was small ceremony where only my family was present.
For my birthday, I adorned a beautiful green lehenga with a golden sleeveless deep back blouse. It had a green net chunni which was flowing from my left shoulder.
While my right hand was filled with 12 golden bangles, my left hand sported a golden bracelet watch and a gold ring emerald stone on it.
My earlobes sported drop shaped earrings which had a emerald center surrounded by white stones to match with the pendant I was wearing which rested right over the U neck of the blouse.
My face was well made up with deep red lipstick and maroon eye shadow.
My hair was brushed and left open with a small butterfly clip on the back which were coming up to mid-back.
My both hands were filled with Mehandi up to my elbow and manicured fingers were painted with green nail polish.
Soon my mom called, “Stuti!”
I stood up and placed a fake smile started walking towards the hall carefully holding the chunni.
While I was going my mind started wondering why did I respond to that name when I am “Shlok”.

Well let’s rewind to a year back.

I am shlok, a 22 year young boy. My family included my parents and a sweet elder sister.
My father owns a grocery shop and my mom owns a beauty parlor.
My sister has finished her MBA and now works in a MNC in Bangalore.

I had just finished my graduation, I was exploring my future options. So I was just exploring my future options.
Since there was constant source of income so there was not any pressure on me to choose my options.
I started staying at home and started growing my hair as well.
Soon I started gathering fat around my body and my mom started pestering me to start doing exercise.
Well even though I was not lazy, I never liked doing exercises. So I ignored my mom.
This irritated her to the core.

Then One day she decided enough is enough.
And that was exactly a year before today. So today they are celebrating the birthday of Stuti.
