They had waited six years for this day.
Pratik Joshi had been working in London, saving every rupee, chasing every visa form, dreaming of a better future. For his wife, Dr. Komi Vyas. For their three little children, who were still in India.
After years of planning, paperwork, and prayers, it was finally happening.
Just two days ago, Komi resigned from her hospital job. They packed their bags. Hugged their parents. Took one last look at the life they were leaving behind. A new chapter was waiting.
This morning, the family boarded Air India Flight 171 to London.
Smiles wide. Eyes hopeful.
They clicked a selfie on the plane.
Sent it to relatives.
Captioned it: “Here we go!”
They never made it.
The plane crashed. All five of them—gone.
In seconds, everything they had built, everything they had waited for, everything they were dreaming of… was lost.
Just like that.
A photo, a seat number, a flight plan—now all that is left of a family that never got to arrive.
Life is this fragile.
And this unfair.
So love like you mean it.
Say the things you have been holding back.
Live the dreams you keep postponing.
Because tomorrow isn’t promised.
And sometimes… even the most beautiful beginnings never get to begin.
