Kalpana Prajapati, a 44-year-old from Manjalpur, Gujarat, faced a tragic fate due to a last-minute change in her travel plans. Although she had obtained her visa weeks prior, she delayed her trip to wait for her sister-in-law Ranjan's visa approval. When Ranjan's visa was rejected, Kalpana booked a flight for June 12, which turned out to be ill-fated. Had she followed her original travel schedule, she would have been in London or back home by now. Kalpana is survived by her husband and two sons, one of whom is returning for her last rites.

Pinal Mistry, a 24-year-old from Anand, was not originally scheduled to be on the ill-fated Air India flight. A change in her travel plans, due to a work-related letter, led her to book a ticket for the flight. Pinal had recently returned to India for dental treatment after a serious car accident last year. Her father, Suresh Mistry, shared that they were in Ahmedabad to see her off when they received the tragic news. Suresh is now awaiting DNA analysis to confirm Pinal's status.

A tragic plane crash occurred shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad, involving flight AI 171, which Khushboo Singh had just boarded. The 22-year-old was set to join her husband in London after her wedding in January. Her father, Madan Singh, had just left the airport when he learned of the crash, which left only one survivor among 242 passengers. The family, who had been celebrating Khushboo's upcoming journey, is now in shock and mourning. They await DNA test results to identify her body, as condolences pour in at their sweet shop in Faridabad.

South Africa's Aiden Markram turned a challenging situation into triumph with a remarkable century in the World Test Championship final against Australia at Lord's. After a disappointing first innings, Markram's 100 helped South Africa recover from a tense position, leading them to 213 for 2 by stumps, needing just 69 runs for victory. His performance not only showcased his skill but also placed him among a select group of players who have scored both a duck and a century in the same Test at Lord's. As Day 4 approaches, South Africa is on the verge of a historic win.
