The journey of Praggnanandhaa and Vaishali through their mother’s eyes

On 8 August, Praggnanandhaa Rameshbabu gave a simultaneous exhibition at the IMC office in Mumbai. His mother, Nagalakshmi, was also present. Amruta Mokal seized the moment to speak with her, and what followed was a special interview where Nagalakshmi opened up about the journey of raising India’s golden siblings of chess, Praggnanandhaa and Vaishali. She revealed the amount of planning and support that goes into nurturing world-class talents. | Photo: Amruta Mokal
