The last photo of a family of 5 on the fatal flight: A family’s entire life of dreams had been turning to dust.
Pratik Joshi had lived in London for six years. As a software professional, he had dreamed of building a life abroad for his wife and three young children, who were still in India.
After years of waiting for their visas to be approved, the dream had finally come true. Just two days ago, his wife, Komi Vyas — a renowned doctor in Udaipur — had quit her job. She packed up for the whole family, goodbyes were said, and the future was within reach.
This morning (June 12), the family of five, full of hope and with the children excited for what lay ahead, boarded Air India Flight 171 to London. They took a selfie. Sent it to loved ones. A one-way journey to a new life. But they never made it. The plane crashed just after takeoff. Only one person in seat 11A survived. They were not that lucky.
In a single moment, an entire life of dreams was reduced to ashes. A brutal reminder: life is terrifyingly fragile. Everything you build, everything you hope for, everything you love — all of it hangs by a thread. So while you can, live, love, and don’t wait for happiness to start tomorrow.
