(FILES) This combination of file handout photographs received from the Melbourne Royal Children's Hospital on November 13, 2009 and taken in August, 2009 shows Trishna (L) and Krishna (R), the Bangladeshi set of twins joined at the head. The Bangladeshi mother of conjoined twins, separated last year in Australia, has flown to visit her daughters for the first time since the complex surgery, her husband said July 10, 2010. Lovely Mallick, 23, and her jute mill worker husband Kartik Chandra Mallick, 30, gave up the twins Trishna and Krishna after their birth three years ago because there was no way the poor couple could care for the sickly newborns. Last November, the twins hit headlines after they were separated by doctors in a marathon 32-hour operation in Australia to divide their connected skulls, brains and blood vessels and allow them to lead separate lives.
