Pratik Joshi had been living in London for six years. A software professional, he’d long dreamed of building a life abroad for his wife and three young children, who stayed back in India.
After years of waiting for due clearances the dream was finally coming true. Just two days ago, his wife, Dr. Komi Vyas, a renowned doctor in Udaipur, resigned from her job. The bags were packed, goodbyes said, the future within reach.
This morning, the family of five, filled with hope and excitement, boarded Air India flight 171 to London. They clicked a selfie. Sent it to relatives. A one-way journey to a new life. But they never made it. The plane crashed. No one 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.

Healing can be so hard when your inner child wants love, your teenage self wants revenge, and your current self only wants peace. —unknown

you deserve to hear
the sound of your footsteps
walking away from something that
is no longer meant for you.
you deserve to finally know what that sounds like.

Apart from being the richest man on earth, I think @elonmusk should also be conferred with being the most cruel, arrogant man on earth. Money, wisdom, empathy are surely not related to each other!! #TwitterLayoffs
