Raagu’s bag lies open on the floor, and he’s already halfway inside it. He pulls out everything he thinks might be important — two extra shirts “just in case,” his favourite snack, a stone he found last week (for luck), and a pencil he insists helps him think better. He packs, unpacks, and packs again, changing his mind each time. Does he need his nightwear? Maybe. His cricket ball? Definitely. When Amma finally peeks in, she laughs and helps him make space for the essentials. Raagu nods seriously, pretending he knows exactly what those are.
By the time the bag is zipped, Raagu is already imagining the bus ride, the games, and the stories he’ll come back with. Packing isn’t just getting ready, it’s the first adventure of the trip.
Handcrafted with love by women of The Nilgiris, these garments are made from soft, upcycled fabrics and safe, child-friendly materials.
Dress Raagu for pretend play that celebrates excitement, independence, and the joy of setting out on your very first journeys.
