Chinmayi Instagram – The son holds a ball that my best friend once bought as a gift for Rahul. Praveena was sunshine and all things happy. Before cancer decided to take her away. I think of her often and wish she’d been here to see her niece and nephew. Some of the nicest, loveliest humans I know left and I wonder, why is it that the soul decides to take that sort of a journey. Praveena always found reasons to laugh and was the spark of joy in the hospital where she was treated, cheering up doctors and others like her. She wrote such beautiful lyrics. And every time I face the mic for a telugu jingle, I think of her. That green ball is peeling. I have saved it for years not knowing someday, my kid would pick it up. Life.
