Message from Suki!!!!

Hi Arvind,

I am so sorry for not getting back to you....what can I say I have got loads on Neeta.

She is on my wedding video and all she does all day is CRY...you know she was my bridesmaid and I think she was really upset because she knew me before Steve.

Neeta and I sat together on the first day of secondary school, Stoke Park. We must have been 10 years old when we first met.

Obviously she was the quiet and shy one and I was the loud big-mouthed one, of course Neeta always got into trouble not for being loud or cheeky BUT just because she laughed all the time.

Our Biology teacher (Mr Rattigan) always told her off for giggling, but it was usually my fault. Neeta was always a smiler...the best thing that I remember was when a boy called Gareth fancied Neeta and used the excuse of playing badminton to see her. I knew he liked her but Neeta said he was just interested in her strokes....mmmmmm I wonder!!!

Neeta had loads of boys that fancied her throughout her school life but of course she thought that nobody did...how wrong she was.

Loads of the girls especially one (Neeta will know who I am talking about) envied Neeta because of this very reason. Also because Neeta was a well liked girl with her generous and caring nature.

She hasn't changed she is still a great girl and she is MY BEST FRIEND!!!!

Arvind, I could go on forever, I will try and give you some more instalments in the week.....I am still trying to dig out some photos as well.

Speak soon

Darling Neeta (BB),

Hope you have a fantastic 30th birthday, and wish you all the very best for the future.

Thanks for ALWAYS being there when I needed you and giving great advise (even though at the time it seemed like a nag!).

Carry on being your lovely self and you will never go wrong in your life.

You really are an inspiration and it is wonderful having you as a mate.

With lots of love, hugs and kisses

Dear dear Neeta,

Many happy returns to you! We are just delighted that we can welcome in

your

new year with you, and wish you all the best for it and beyond: health,

happiness, inspiration, adventure, magic, mayhem, melody, harmony, rock

'n' roll, cuddledom, and love, love, love. You already bring so much of all

of this to so many people, and thank you for that.

Much love,

Tanu & Bernard

Dearest Neeta,

All the best in the world for your 30th birthday. I know this will mark an amazing and special decade for you. You mean a lot to so many people and it has been a pleasure knowing you and being your friend. I know you will continue to do the great work you are doing to help as many people around the world and share yourself with others. Wishing you luck with it all and a great year ahead.

Love, light and joy always,
Hillit

Happy birthday party girl.

No doubt you will put away gallons of alki so that those dancing moves could be perfected.

Lists of things to do and people to nag would be all perfected with age and experience.

But I wouldn't wish for a better friend than yourself.

I love your kindness, your energy, and your flapjacks.

Comments about Neeta... hmmmmmm let me think...

The COLGATE smile
The DURACELL BUNNY - hop hop hop... too damn energetic... remember Flopsy with the floppy ears
The PINCH & SLAP - Do NOT get on the wrong side of this woman... it'll hurt & you'll be bruised all over
And last but definitely not the least.... The NAGS !!!!

I'm sure Hang will have something very similar to say too
Sanjay Shah

Arvind

Here goes....

Firstly, I would like to agree with Sanjay. He is spot on.....

I would like to add some more:-
=======================

'It's not a laughing matter'

'INNITTTT'

'Bus' 'Cup' in her midlands accent

Her endless energetic dancing.....MARATHON BUNNY

Her strong affinity for her favourite food 'MUSHROOMS' and her nickname ' MUSHY'

Yes...THE NAGS and hence her being named NAG QUEEN

Overall........

Neeta has been a great friend to all of us who know her well. Recently she has displayed an inner display of strength and her self belief and subsequent confidence resulting has made her even more endearing. She may be approaching 30 but I believe the best years are just around the other side of 30 and I am glad I have known her since our early days at Kings.

And to add that she now has now plucked her eyebrows compared to the early pictures when she was in her early 20s. [Do you have any early photos Arvind?]

Hang - you do have a point. See the pictures below! Arvind

Neeta

The woman with the sunflower smile, an abundant heart that gives with elegaance & caring.

Long may you celebrate life with your friends & family
Long may you be responsible for gathering people together be it at a community level or for a worthwhile fund-raising cause.

Long may you share food & time with loved ones and dance till dawn.

Love Lucie

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of god.

Your playing small doesn¹t serve the world.

There¹s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won¹t feel insecure around you.

We were born to manifest the glory of god that is within us. It¹s not just in some of us, it¹s in everyone.

As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Neeta Devalia - brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous -

Happy Birthday - with love from Brent.

Hi Arvind,

I would just like to say that from the first moment that I met your sister, she seemed to have a lovely smile and character that made everyone around her feel good. She is a warm and genuine person who is also extremely inspiring for others. It is truly amazing what she has achieved in such a short time and she must follow her heart as I believe it will take her to a wonderful place. I wish her well in everything that she does.

Love Jasmine

Dearest Neeta,

I am sorry that I cannot come to your Birthday bash. I really hope that you have a great time.

My brothers and I really appreciated the time when you took the trouble to check up on our father. It was a very kind gesture, and one cannot forget such little kindnesses that make the world a better place.

I hope that all the good karma that you sow, comes back to you.

Love Rupert (Nimal)

Dear Arvind,

Would you please wish Neeta a very happy birthday from me and Di.

Tell her she is not only very attractive but has a wonderful personality and is very clever

That's from me.

Hi Neeta and Arvind,

I gather that although I'm late I can still include a few words about Neeta.

Neeta you looked so beautiful and full of life at your birthday party and it made me think how much you've accomplished since we did the advanced course together-you ARE a truly transformed woman! The other thing I want to say is thank you for continuing to include me in your life and for all the parties you have caused. Who else would have done it?

All my love,

Antonia.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Arvind

Your website on Neeta is beautiful, and rightly so for such a beautiful person.

It has been a pleasure to view, and has built a bridge from Angola (Neeta will explain) to London.

Neeta is a very special woman. She has such a positive effect on those around her, that she is electric. My life has been enhanced since our meeting.

Well done on the website.

Now I must go and dry my eyes!

Regards

Tony (Stead)
