Space Tour

Everyone has  a  goal  or  wish  which  they  want  to  achieve  or  they  want  to   fulfill. When I was a child around 5 – 6 years old then I always used to admire the stars in the sky at night and always wanted to be on the moon have a space tour in future. I admired the sky for almost 5 hours at night. One day my grandfather (paternal) came and asked me that why am I admiring the sky for so long? I just simply replied him saying.” I want to be a scientist and want to have a space tour instead of having a world tour.

After I passed my high school my grandfather told me that  whatever you want to do in your life just do it  because i know  you will do  things which  will make your parents and me proud of you. On hearing this I was encouraged more than before. I went to Bangalore for my further studies to Bangalore. I achieved many diplomats in all the branches of science. I had more than 100 diplomats. While I was honoured for my diplomats I missed my parents and my grandfather very much. But still I continued with my work because I remembered my grandfather’s sayings.

I first went to mercury it was a beautiful planet but quite warm. Venus had a pleasant atmosphere, much suitable for a human being to survive. Mars was a colourful planet the sky was in pink and bluish colour. Jupiter had water on its surface; Saturn had colourful stones on its surface, Uranus – as I stepped on the surface of this particular planet I felt that I’m back on earth. The planet was very beautiful. Then I went to Uranus this planet had a lot of nitrogen. Then I went on the moon and even walked on it and last but not the least saw the Milky Way galaxy -the beautiful part of our universe. It took me nearly 3-4 years to have the space tour. I was back on earth after few months after my tour was completed. My spacecraft landed and without any further delay I went back to Kolkata to meet my parents. 

There I got to know that my grandfather had died but I smiled because I knew that he must be feeling so proud of me as I was declared to be the first Indian to have a space tour that time i was again on clouds 9.the   next  day  I got a call  on my  phone  and  the  person  who  called me was  none other than  A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. I was awestruck that   time  he congratulated  me   for   my  diplomats  and  offered me to work  with him in  his  lab. that  time  I felt  very  proud  of  myself  and  said  yes  to him. That   time  I  was  on  clouds 9.the   day  I joined  this profession  on that  day  itself  Kalam sir came  and  told  me  that  we  have  to  soon  arrive  for  space  as there  is  some important  research  we  have  to  do  and our  space craft is ready. Without delaying a second we were off   to go to the space. In the spacecraft I told Kalam sir about having the tour and even he agreed to it and permitted me of doing so. after we finished our research I saw a new spacecraft I asked sir  he  told  me  that  he  has  some work  so he has  to go back on earth. I had an extra spacecraft and started my space tour.
