For six long years, Pratik Joshi paced the silent evenings of London, coding through midnight and counting down the days until his family could join him. Each line of software he shipped carried a hidden line of hope: one day these earnings would deliver his wife and three children into the bright safety of a new life abroad.
That day finally arrived.
Just forty‑eight hours earlier, Dr. Komi Vyas shut the door of her Indian clinic for the last time, folded her white coat, and resigned. She and the children packed their memories into cardboard, hugged relatives amid tears and laughter, and whispered to the sky about tomorrow.
On the morning of their departure, Air India Flight 171 hummed with possibility. Pratik snapped a selfie—five glowing faces framed by oval windows and boundless dreams—and sent it to the family WhatsApp group:
“We’re finally flying home.”
Home never came.
Somewhere between earth and promise, the aircraft fell from the clouds. In one brutal instant, the relentless father, the self‑sacrificing mother, and three small voices of pure potential were silenced. Hopes that had survived oceans and calendar pages were reduced to newsprint and ash.
The Lesson We Dare Not Forget
We map out years, push love to weekends, and store words of affection for “later.” Yet life—fragile, fickle, unforgiving—makes no treaties with our plans. It can erase an entire future in the blink of an engine light.
So while breath still fills your lungs:
- Hold tighter: Let the hug linger one second longer.
- Speak sooner: Say “I’m proud of you,” “I forgive you,” “I love you” today.
- Live fuller: Celebrate small wins, chase quiet joys, dance barefoot in the living room.
Tomorrow is an unsigned contract. Sign your name on today.
May the memories of Pratik, Komi, and their three precious children ignite in each of us a fiercer gratitude for every sunrise we are gifted.
