This Bhai Dooj, My Saree Reached Home Before I Did

I’ve missed three Diwalis back home. But somehow, missing Bhai Dooj hits harder.

It’s the one day I feel the absence of that mischievous bond—the way my sister teases me for never remembering what color saree she likes.

This year, I wanted to surprise her. I found Dakshin Vastram online and chose a soft handwoven silk saree I thought would suit her vibrant personality. When she called me in tears after receiving it, saying it felt like I was hugging her in fabric—I knew this gift meant more than any video call.

Across borders, time zones, and silence… love still finds a way.
