“I look forward to gaining a new community and family here in New England region and I am honored and so grateful to be serving as your Mrs. India USA and Mrs. India New England,” said Ms. Nambiar, who is guided by Nelson Mandela’s words of “The glory of life lies not in never falling, but rising every time we fall.”
