About the authors
Just Manners is the brainchild of Rekha Shankar and Krishna Sahai.
Rekha Shankar has had a successful career in handicraft development and has done several assignments for International Agencies in related fields. A life in the Army has trained her in organizing any kind of event, from the small intimate get-togethers to the spit and polish of a formal Army dinner. She has developed her innate talent and lifelong interest in event management to professional levels through formal training.
Krishna Sahai took voluntary retirement as a senior Commissioner of Income Tax of the Indian Revenue Service to follow alternative paths. A multi-talented person, she is a trained Bharata Natyam dancer and has also published a book on the subject. Krishna has imbibed the old traditions of Avadhi culture from her family and is concerned about preserving the vanishing cuisines of India. She consults on financial and business matters apart from running a not-for-profit organization.
Rekha and Krishna have come together with their skills and experiences to create Just Manners.
