Aunty Kambi

The urban Indian woman has largely adopted the "Western casual"—jeans, tops, and blazers. But here is the cultural nuance: she rarely abandons the Sindoor (vermilion) or the Mangalsutra (sacred necklace). She wears ripped jeans but covers her head in a temple. She carries a laptop bag in one hand and a Tiffin box containing Thepla (spiced flatbread) in the other.
