A memory of Neha Limaye (1974–2026), artist, writer and cook. Shared by Madhu.

Neha painted the world a little brighter, and made everyone around her feel seen. Her bite-size desserts were small works of art, plated like they came from a fine restaurant, and no one left without something sweet to carry home. She was always smiling, and when she sang, the room softened. She gave love freely, in words, in hugs, and in the thoughtful little things only a true friend remembers. Neha, I will forever miss you for so many reasons. Thank you for your unwavering friendship ❤️
