Meet Rupali Shagorkonna – her name translates somewhere close to the term ‘Silvery Seagirl’.
Her real name is unknown.Unlike the alias suggests, Rupali Shagorkonna does not live by any sea,rather she lives by the great river Meghna.She moved there not so long ago,built her a hut and wrote her newly taken alias above the only door it has.This middle aged woman seems to like to keep things to herself,may be that is the reason she chose to live in a self-induced isolation from the nearby slums.In profession she is a vegetable seller and appears to be a completely independent woman despite being poverty struck.On a brighter note,her colorful clothing and makeup suggest that she successfully manages to satisfy her sense of narcissism and individualism.
What Rupali Shagorkonna does may seem like an impossible task for other women living in that economic environment,that is,she never married and is completely self-dependent.
She is a lively person,an open mind and a soul as free as a bird.
