Re: Advice for Upcoming Meeting...
Namaste Anandini,
Wear and dress what makes you feel comfortable in such a formal meeting. It is better not to wear such attire which draws unnecessary attention to your attire than your personality i.e. you should not look awkward. Wearing Bindi or even Rudrakahs Maalaa should not be a problem if he is working for an international company and it can be safely assumed that he must have come across many Hindu women in his career. After all, he didn't reach such a high ladder in company's hierarchy in a day ! ... and your organisation is certainly not a Muslim organisation, I suppose.
I have worked closely with Muslims ( I have worked in Kabul) and I have found that majority of people respect your faith. Yes, you will always find some weird man coming to you and offering you to become a Muslim or with question as to how you can worship an idol which has been made by you yourself ! But mostly people who reach at the top are broad-minded and they don't mix religion with business at hand.
So, you need to just relax. It is of little importance what that person thinks of your attire ... it is most important how natural your feel and behave in your attire. If your attention and your focus is on your attire most of the time ... better change your attire so that you forget what you are wearing and concentrate better on what is going around you and you are able to contribute your best in that situation.
