She had stepped forward and there was no turning back.this was her first official business trip...The ride from the airport to the posh and classy hotel took about fifteen minutes and as the staff of Trivedi Contruction stepped out of the limousine they were all awed by the splendour of the white sand beach of Post De Flacq where the Constance Le Prince Maurice Hotel was located.........after the delegates had checked into their respective rooms tea was sent to their rooms ..kalpi lay on the bed and closed her eyes and a short while later dozed off..when the room intercom buzzer woke her up and a front desk staff informed kalpi that dinner was served at the beach restaurant ....kalpi dressed in a stylish sleeveless evening dress and gold toned high heeled sandals and followed the rest of her group to the beach restaurant overlooking the indian ocean a beautiful and breathtaking sight ..they enjoyed the excellent food prepared by the hotel's skilled chefs...............Mrs Mathuri Trivedi"s husband Mr Shankar Trivedi arrived shortly and joined his wife at the table for two which was reserved for them.....The next day kalpi's .expertise..was put to the test in the conference room by the other delegates from different builders and they ranked Kalpana Jadav talented and capable by the delegates. ... .As kalpi stepped on stage to present her views her heart skipped a beat she was nervous but she prayed to Bappa for strength and soon had everyone glued to her presentation and within the next hour business deals were sealed by corporate companies and at the end of the meeting. Mrs Trivedi gave kalpi a good handshake for closing in good business deals.kalpi felt on top of the world and she wished her aai and baba was there to witness her success. There was a lot of good cheer amongst her colleagues and Mrs Trivedi declared the next few days as absolute leisure time for all ...thanks to Kalpana Jadav ...the epitome of success. ...kalpi and the girls were thrilled and they quickly changed into kaftans and sandals and and went for a stroll in the lush green palm trees lined garden and later settled down at the pool loungers sipping juice ..a few other guest were also there and kalpi accidentally knocked a glass of juice on one of them and she apologised " I am sorry ..it was an accident"......Oh don't be sorry hon these things happen " came the reply from a smilling lady whom kalpi had an instant liking while her other friends joined in " ladies day out " hi I'm .the sweet lady introduced herself .and extended her hand for a warm handshake ......while kalpi shook hands .I am Kalpana Jadav ...this is my first business trip ......the two other ladies introduced themselves "hi kalpana I'm from Port Louis ....kalpi was delighted .the third lady gave her hand as well ....."...Hi I'm .
