心碎！一家五口梦想的新起点，却成了生命的终点……

6月12日，一架印度航空公司的波音787客机从印度西部古吉拉特邦起飞后坠毁，不仅夺走机上241人生命，还波及地面，造成至少265人死亡。

在遇难者中，有一个家庭的故事在网络上广泛传播，令无数人为之心碎。

这趟航班本该是这一家开启新生活的起点，却变成了永远的终点……

Just hours before a devastating tragedy struck, a smiling selfie captured a moment of hope, love, and new beginnings.

就在一场毁灭性悲剧发生的数小时前，一张洋溢着笑容的自拍照定格了希望、爱与崭新开始的瞬间。

In that photograph — now frozen in time — Dr Pratik Joshi, his wife Dr Komi Vyas, and their three young children sat aboard Air India flight AI-171, ready to begin a new life together in London.

这张被时间定格的照片里，普拉提克·乔希医生与妻子科米·维亚斯医生带着他们三个年幼的孩子，正坐在印度航空AI-171航班上，准备开启伦敦的新生活。

Minutes later, the aircraft plunged into a residential neighbourhood in Ahmedabad, claiming the lives of all five family members.

然而数分钟后，这架客机坠毁在艾哈迈达巴德的一处居民区，夺走了这一家五口的生命。

普拉提克·乔希（Prateek Joshi）是一名医生，已经在英国生活了多年。

乔希最初前往英国是为了深造，很快他在英国就有了稳定的工作和生活。

多年来，乔希一直梦想着将妻子科米·维亚斯（Komi Vyas）和三个年幼的孩子接到英国，从此家人团聚，共同开启新生活。

Dr Joshi, a medical professional, lived in London for over six years, initially going there for higher studies. He soon established himself and decided to reunite his family abroad.

今年，乔希的梦想终于即将成真！

妻子科米也是一位医生，她两天前辞去了在印度乌代布尔医院的工作，卖掉了在印度的房子，准备好一切与丈夫定居英国。

他们8岁的女儿米拉亚（Miraya）和5岁的双胞胎儿子纳库尔（Nakul）与普拉迪尤特（Pradyut）对即将到来的新生活兴奋不已。

His wife, Dr Komi Vyas, a respected physician at Pacific Hospital in Udaipur, had resigned from her job just two days before the journey, ready to relocate and reunite the family for good. Their children—twin boys Nakul and Pradyut, aged five, and daughter Miraya, eight—were excited for their new life abroad.

乔希本周专程返回印度，陪伴家人一起踏上这趟“梦想航班”。

Dr Joshi had returned to Banswara in Rajasthan earlier this week to take the family with him.

一家五口满心期待。飞机上，乔希用手机拍下了一张自拍：他和科米并肩微笑，孩子们坐在过道对面，脸上写满了开心与兴奋。

The selfie, taken by Dr Joshi on the ill-fated aircraft, shows him and his wife seated on one side, smiling, and their young twin boys and elder daughter sitting across the aisle. The boys try their hardest to smile for the camera, while their elder sister beams.

这张照片原本是幸福新篇章的见证，却在空难发生后，成为他们生命最后的定格。

据报道，乔希医生的父亲在乌代布尔经营一家超声诊所，母亲同样是医务工作者。这一家人不仅因事业成功受人尊敬，更因谦逊、温暖和深厚家风广受敬仰。

Dr Joshi's father, JP Joshi, runs a sonography centre in Udaipur, and his mother Dr Anita Joshi also served in the medical profession. The family was widely admired — not just for their success — but for their humility, warmth and deeply rooted values.

一位熟悉他们家庭的朋友在接受采访时表示：“整个小镇都在哀悼。这是一对温暖而有理想的夫妻，他们希望给孩子们最好的未来。”

"The entire town is grieving," said a close family friend, adding that they were a warm, progressive couple who wanted the best for their children.

这场事故的原因尚在调查中。尽管航空公司承诺为遇难者家属提供赔偿，但这无法弥补失去至亲的深重悲痛。

生命无常，愿逝者安息，愿生者坚强。
