The afternoon of 12th June 2025 will always be remembered in the history of Indian aviation. A total of 241 people took off from Ahmedabad that day, but within a minute, their flight came to a tragic end after covering just 1.5 km. Only one person survived — a miracle in such a devastating crash. At the same time, around 60 to 80 students and doctors from B.J. Medical College were having lunch in the airport dining area. Sadly, about 20 of them lost their lives, adding to the list of casualties.
We’ve heard and seen many heart-breaking stories in the media. One doctor, who had worked in the UK for six years and was finally bringing his family of four to settle permanently, also died in the crash. Many others on board had similar dreams — all of which ended in tragedy, leaving their loved ones with deep pain that will last for years.
This incident reminds us how fragile life can be. Dreams can break midway, and life can feel like a nightmare, especially in moments of deep loss and helplessness. In truth, life is full of beauty — like a child’s smile, the smell of rain, or the feeling of wind on your face. These moments push us to live fully and chase our dreams. But sometimes, life and dreams break apart so suddenly, it feels like they were hanging by a thread all along.
