Pratap Jayalakshmi's Facebook post

'Rajesh's New Year. On New Year's Eve, when I went to see Rajesh, our friend Jay was with me. He came from Australia and we went straight to Vellore together, but we were a little worried. Can we bear to see the energetic and active Rajesh lying silent in bed? I felt that some sad news was following him throughout the journey.

When we reached there, Roopesh and Sindhu were in a hurry to take Rajesh for therapy. We also entered the therapy room. He cooperated well in the therapy, perhaps because his friends' voices were familiar. The doctors and the therapist were happy. 'Rajesh sir, your friends are here?... Are you happy?' they said in Tamil and English. Rajesh tried to reply by moving his lip.

Does Rajesh know how much hope his every little response creates in us? Four months have passed... Onam, Christmas, and the New Year that we should have celebrated with him have passed quickly.... The list of movies to watch has grown again.

The medical expenses are heavy, and the treatment may take a long time. But when we finally saw him, we felt that there was a celebration of his return somewhere inside him. That will be the celebration for us. We are waiting for that arrival in our new year. With love and prayers like everyone else, Pratap Jayalakshmi.'
