She realised her dream of becoming an airhostess but Tejal Kamulkar could live it just for four months.
Barely a fortnight after she celebrated her 24th birthday, Tejal perished in the real version of her favourite toy that gave her dream the wings -- an aeroplane.
"She would never play with Barbie dolls. Her first toy was an aeroplane and we both used to play with it," says Ankita Pokhre, a cousin of Tejal, who died in the tragic air crash near Mangalore this morning.
She had joined Air India four months ago and was flying the Dubai-Mangalore IX-892 flight ever since.
Tejal's father Anil was informed about his daughter's death by Air India this morning. "He decided not to not break the news to Tejal's mother Bharti and brother Gaurav and snapped the cable connection before rushing to the Mumbai airport," Ankita told PTI.
Several close relatives and neighbours discreetly guarded their house at Dombivili in neighbouring Thane district turning away the media.
Ankita, who too is undergoing training to become an airhostess, remembers Tejal as a hard-working and jovial girl who nurtured the dream of becoming an airhostess since childhood.
After completing her degree in commerce, Tejal did a course with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and joined Air India this February.
Tejal's friend Pradnya S remembers her as someone who was very passionate about her job.
"Everytime we spoke, she went on and on about her job and her on-flight experiences. The last time we met was on May 5 when we celebrated Tejal's 24th birthday. I can't believe she is no longer with us," Pradnya said.
