Nirmala Sudhira Tiagi

My darling Nina and dearest oldest friend in England. I describe Nina as not just a dearest friend but also as a counciler, adviser, and sister. In Brazil we say a good friend is like a brother or sister. I have brother and sisters but Nina was a sister I didn't have. We could talk about anything and everything. I have met Nina at my first visit to UK in Jan 1991 through other close friends at nights out dancing Lambada. Then we have clicked, 3 month later I was back to Brazil with plans to never return. But then all changed and I was back in UK summer time 1992. I was living at Garden Row just a few minutes from at time called South Bank University. One day I have bumped with Nina near Castle House where she did have an office. I didn't have her details and I couldn't find where she was. Everything happen for a reason. Then we have started all over again at this time it was all about Salsa and tango, she was taking classes and we went to many places to dance Salsa and Tango, and occasionally Lambada still. From there on we have never separated, as she spent many time at the flat after long hours working at now LSBU. I had the pleasure to be introduced to her beautiful mother Asoka Tiagi and the rest of her family. Nina will remain forever in my heart as a very dear friend.
