Pushpa, Sujatha, Abida and Radha are good friends. All of them are 13 years old and love to spend time with one another. They have so much to talk about, the new film, the new dress, homework, the boys in the class and just about everything ... Yesterday, Radha seemed uncomfortable. She was having her periods and was concerned about staining her uniform. Last month, Sujatha’s family had organized a big celebration in her honor as she had started her periods. Pushpa recollected that 3 months ago, Abida had started her periods in school and had to borrow a sanitary napkin from her older cousin. Pushpa is worried. Except her, all her friends had started their periods. Was something wrong with her?
