Ahmedabad plane accident: Ranjitha's dreams crash as they were about to take off

Kottayam: Ranjitha Gopakumaran Nair, 40, who lost her life in the Ahmedabad flight crash on Thursday, came to Kerala for a short visit of three days from the UK to complete the process of extending the leave she had taken from govt service. She dreamed of joining her two children and her aged mother after leaving her foreign job as soon as her house construction was completed. Ranjitha, a single parent for her two children, also wanted to secure a good bank balance that would take care of their education. Her dream house, which is in its last stages of construction, was adjacent to the ancestral house 'Konjon'. Ranjitha, who left for London on Wednesday, had told neighbours that the house warming would be held in July itself. Her mother, Tulasi, and two children, Induchoodan, studying in Class X, and Rithika in Class VII, reside there. The children, who returned home after school on Thursday evening,and Tulasi, who is a cancer patient, were inconsolable.

However, there was some delay in that," he said. Ranjitha had to travel to Kerala again for the leave extension process due to this delay. On her return, she took a train to Ernakulam, and from there, she flew to Chennai and then to Ahmedabad, said Unnikrishnan. Ranjitha's father, Gopakumaran Nair, who worked as a mechanic in Oman, passed away a few years ago. Ranjitha is the youngest of three children. Her eldest brother, Ranjith, is in Oman.
