Ladka Hua Ya Ladki??

Meet Ipu--one of the third generation of kids in the family, a.k.a. Gen Next.

Androgynous already?

Kids start off early at everything in life these days!

And what do we have here?

What a cute li'l thing, wearing a dhoti and hair clips...

The costume was my gift, guess I confused the poor soul and its mother, hahaha! :D

ha ha ha ha adorable.
If however, he was in the US, his parents and everyone around him would have been totally mortified at the thought of him being in anything but blue - and God forbid if he were to wear anything even remotely associated with being a girl! N-uh!
Great pic - absolutely cute... great outfit choice too! :)

Its quite common to dress up little boys like girls isn't it
(at least in the last generation)? I have seen so many baby pics of my male cousins dressed in skirts! :) Its nice, why make them feel soooo conscious of their gender when they are so small! :)very shweet pic!

I'm back! Now shall reply in order...:D

#Gemini,
Yes, utterly adorable SHE is :P and this is India, yahaan sab chalta hai! :-)

#TGFI,
Ipu a.k.a. Ipshita is my cousin's DAUGHTER :-) This is actually an old pic, she is atleast 3 years older now. I got the outfit at a Rajasthani emporium, and fell for it. Rajasthani men wear it during festivals and dances, it's their traditional costume. The li'l dress was so darn cute, I had to pick it up, never mind that Ipu is a girl, bwahahahahaha!

#Inquisitive Akka (love that moniker!)
Welcome here...Agreed the pic is cute and that earlier generations never cared about putting boys in 'frocks' and what not, I find it hilarious though, and would never put my kid through this torture, hahaha!!

#Aarti,
Thank you dear :-)

#SnS,
Arre, if I kiss Ipu now, she will gimme vun tiiiiite slap, MTV ishtyle!! She doesn't much like cuddling at all!

#TGWSTW,
Yeah, man, isn't it hilarious?! LOL! And yes orange dhoti, Rajasthan and Gujarat are our most colorful states na! That's my niece :-)

#Ekta,
Hi, and welcome to my space :-)

#Kautilya,
Abbe, khud ko compliment de raha hai! Hai...yeh ladke log...! :-)

I can't see the pics if I come thru Mr. P.K.'s blogs, they're all blanked out :'(

#Harish,
Hahahaha! I think kids roaming nanga panga is worse than being cross-dressed, yaar! But, yeah, I think poor Ipu was slightly traumatised by the whole Rajasthani experience. If I'd given her two dandiyas, she might've chased after me with them, LOL!

#Born a Libran,
Hello there! Welcome and I agree with you :-))

#Virdi,
Abbe, it is a SHE...dhakkan! :P
