There was a quiet dignity about Nishi; she was always low key, never keen to impress anyone, least of all strangers. If a business came to the club naturally fine but she was not willing to compromise on her convictions.
Her confidence came from high self-worth in who she was and this reflected in her work culture. Nobody in her staff is ever impolite or authoritative. They are all always consistently courteous, friendly without being intrusive which is what being in the sales business is all about.
On a personal note, Nishi was shy of compliments, she never indulged in praise and if you praised her, she quickly changed the topic. She knew all the members by their first name and gave personal attention to her gatherings.
I will never forget the day I received the awful news, ‘Are you sure’ was my question to the caller. ‘Yes,’ she confirmed. Something snapped in my heart that day. Nishi Khanna was not my family, she was not my close friend, not my colleague who I interacted with on a daily basis and yet, I felt a shooting pain, went into a serious depression. That’s the power of her attraction rather her power of attachment!!
