A Dream Six Years in the Making—Gone in Seconds.

For six long years, Pratik Joshi lived in London—working tirelessly as a software engineer, building not just a career, but a dream. A dream of reuniting with his wife and three young children, still in India. A dream of a better life. A future abroad. Together.

That dream was finally within reach. Just two days ago, his wife, Dr. Komi Vyas—a well-respected doctor in Udaipur—resigned from her job. The house was packed up. Farewells were said. Hearts full. Eyes hopeful.

This morning, the family of five boarded Air India Flight 171 to London. One-way tickets. New beginnings. They clicked a selfie on the plane, smiling wide, and sent it to relatives: “We’re on our way.”

But they never made it.

The flight crashed. No one survived.

In the blink of an eye, an entire life’s worth of plans, love, and sacrifice turned to silence. A cruel, gut-wrenching reminder: life doesn’t wait. It doesn’t promise. It doesn’t guarantee.

Everything you build. Everything you love. Everything you dream—it’s all more fragile than we care to believe.

So while you still can—love louder, live deeper, and stop postponing joy for "someday."

Because sometimes, someday never comes.
