New beginnings turned into unhappy endings

Dr. Komi Vyas along with their three children was moving to London where her husband, Dr Prateek Joshi was working in the London bound Ahmedabad plane that had a tragic crash on June 12. What the family thought of a new beginning turned out to be the last flight of their live.

Dr Joshi had taken a smiling selfie along with his family just before the ill-fated plane was about to take-off. With his wife to his side and their three children – elder daughter and twin boys to their adjacent seat they all were smiles. What they imagined as the last selfie in India unfortunately turned to become the last selfie of their life.

The couple were working at a private hospital in Udaipur. Dr Joshi had moved to London and had returned to get their family to London. The couple had an elder daughter named Miraya (8) and twin boys(5) – Nakul and Pradyut.

A pall of gloom has descended on the family members who had gone to see them off at the Sardar Vallabh Bhai International Airport in Ahmedabad yesterday.

In a miraculous escape, 40-year-old Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, a British-India survived the plane crash. PM Narendra Modi will visit the crash site today.
