Pratik Joshi had been living in London for the past six years. A software professional, he had long dreamed of building a better future abroad for his wife and their three young children, who were staying back in India.
After years of planning, paperwork, and patience, that dream was finally coming true. Just two days ago, his wife, Dr. Komi Vyas, a medical professional, resigned from her job in India. The bags were packed, the goodbyes said, the future waiting.
This morning, all five of them, filled with hope, excitement, and plans, boarded Air India flight 171 to London. Clicked this selfie, sent it to relatives. A one-way journey to begin a new life.
But they never made it. The plane crashed. None of them survived.
In a matter of moments, a lifetime of dreams turned to ash. A brutal reminder, life is terrifyingly fragile. Everything you build, everything you hope for, everything you love, it all hangs by a thread. So while you can, live, love, and don’t wait for happiness to start tomorrow.
