Delete all occurence of a word in one shot

i have a file called file1

cat file1
i am namish
namish lives in India
India and namish both are good.

I want to delete all the occurences of namish in one shot,if i do it with sed i guess all the lines will be deleted containing the pattern.Suggest me any idea without AWK.

Thanks
Namish

Code:

sed 's/ *namish *//g' file1

Code:

sed 's/^namish //g; s/ namish$//g; s/ namish / /g' file1

and what if there are 1000 occurances of namish in it? Then in command mode:

Code:
