A dream that lasted six years, and ended in seconds.
Pratik Joshi lived in London for six long years, tirelessly working as a software engineer, not just building a career, but a dream. A dream of reuniting with his wife and three young children, who were still in India. A dream of a better life. A future abroad. Together.
Finally, this dream was within reach. Just two days ago, his wife, Dr. Kumi Vyas, a renowned doctor in Udaipur, resigned from her job. The home was crowded. Everyone was invited. Hearts full. Eyes brimming with hope.
This morning, a family of five boarded Air India flight 171 to London. One-way tickets. New beginnings. They took a selfie on the plane, smiling broadly, and sent it to their relatives: "We're on our way."
But they never arrived.
The plane crashed. No one survived.
In the blink of an eye, an entire life transformed from plans, love, and sacrifices into silence. A harsh and painful reminder: life does not wait. It does not promise. It does not guarantee.
Everything you build. Everything you love. Everything you dream of - all of it is less secure than we imagine.
So, as long as you can - love louder, live deeper, and stop postponing joy to "someday."
Because sometimes, someday never comes.$BTC
