Rohini Nayyar (1944–2021)

My first meeting with Nayyar was in 1994 in a hotel at the Hague, where we were put up for a workshop organised by the Government of Netherlands. The introduction at that time by Indira Hirway led to a lifetime bond of friendship, thanks to Nayyar’s people-centric and easy-going nature, tremendous sense of humour, and generosity.
