For six long years, Pratik Joshi lived alone in London—working tirelessly as a software professional, driven by a single dream: to one day build a better, brighter future abroad for his wife and their three little children, who waited patiently back in India.
That day had finally arrived. After years of late-night calls, visa hurdles, and countdowns marked on calendars, the family was finally reuniting. Just two days ago, his wife, Dr. Komi Vyas, a dedicated medical professional, resigned from her job in India.
Their home was packed up, goodbyes were tearfully exchanged, and hearts were full of hope. A new life awaited them. A future they had only imagined was now within reach. This morning, they boarded Air India flight 171 to London together—as a family. Smiling. Laughing.

Pratik clicked a selfie, all five of them framed by airplane windows and dreams, and sent it to relatives: “We’re finally flying home.” But they never made it. The plane crashed. All five lives—gone. In an instant. What was meant to be a beginning became the end. What was meant to be the first page of a new chapter became the final paragraph of a beautiful, unfinished story.
A father’s relentless effort. A mother’s sacrifice. Three children with the world ahead of them, all turned to ash in a moment of unimaginable horror.
Tomorrow is a promise none of us are guaranteed. Comment: Unbearably sad. If one dwells on it, one’s heart could literally break.
Story ranks up there was Gaza doctor whose 9 of 10 kids and doctor husband killed, leaving she and 1 child. Again if one ponders all these things, you’ll be left totally despondent.
