Rupali and Tuli (L and R), both 21 years old. They live in Maynaguri, where Caroline and I were in 2010, and are friends of Caroline’s. (I like them too!) Rupali is married now, the red sindoor in the middle of her forehead at the hairline is the mark of a married woman in Bengal. Tuli is not married; the bindi (called teep in Bengal) between her eyebrows is purely decorative.These are Rupali’s twin sons, about 5 months old.
