A Journey to Moon

Oh! Wow! Such a lovely morning. Sun is shining and smiling after the snowy days of winter. Well, my winter vaccations are over and now I am all set to my new found job.

Hey, I am very very excited about my new found job. Well the Space agency has hired me as a Tourist Guide to MOON. yes, my dear friend, i am the new tourist guide to moon and will be representing Earth to Moon.  Sounds Good!!!!

After having a very light breakfast, i am ready with my spacesuit on and i just had to go through the details about the directions to moon as this is my first day although the interview did  took place in the moon only but still to do some homework because i dont want to get lost on my way otherwise i will take the tourists to Mars rather than on MOON. I have  rushed to the space agency now, which is not very far from my place, but the traffic has made the things little, rather very difficult. Now as the directions given by the enviornmental authorities, morning duty goers have to use only and only bicycles. well, my bicycle is not very sophisticated so i am on the cycle and the cycle is on the ground, but look at Narayan, he bought the bicycle that can fly!!!! oh my word, when will i earn that much to buy a flying bicycle? well, its just only Narayan gets better pay package because he is the Managing Director in Juipter. Anyways, what to do, people always get more salaries when they go abroad. Me poor girl, will be working in the local and only satellite of our own Earth, the home.

The Tourists were waiting for me the moment i reached space agency. They were all dressed smartly in their space suits. Quickly I checked their tickets and now we are all set to the moon. The agency authorities has asked me not to stop in the middle of the journey because many of the tourists are enjoying the space walk today as it is the “SAVE GALAXY DAY” so people will be given awareness lectures on how to save the Akashganga Galaxy from pollution and manmade nuisance.

I am on my way to moon, the first day of my job. Oh! I forget to tell you the name of my Rocket. Well, it is named after the first Indian who step in the moon!! Come on, you all know ‘her’ name.

After a long journey of two hours, we finally reached the moon. Oh Dear, it is a marvellous beauty! said one tourist, named laxmi. What a mesmerising experience! said Siya. well one by one, everybody was on the moon and we were landed n that part of the moon which belonged to INDIA. The Indian Flag was flying with pride. All the tourists were well trained about the weightlessness in moon and they all were very comfortable.

Do you know about Aliens in moon? asked Ram to me, and i said that once upon a time, the aliens were made very popular by a great filmmaker of bollywood in his movie all about aliens. But no one has seen any alien in the moon so far. Although, the colonies made by Americans  in the moon are well equipped to protect their people from the any danger from the aliens.

We moved forward and I was showing my tourist the great moon hollow areas. I told them that these hollow areas  were once filled by water but the environmental agencies have taken the water back to the earth by a giant water pipe in order to solve the water problem! Everybody was amazed to see and know that.

My next area to show them was the line of control. yes the border that India shares with America  and Great Britain. Although the tourist from rest of the world can come here too but they need special visa.

Now I set my tourists to roam on their own and I quickely handed them the packets of capsules to eat so that they dont feel hungry at all. Tourists were visiting many tuck shops there and were purchasing moon related items to take back to earth. Every shopkeeper has his own rocket and has taken special permission from the people residing in moon. They have promised not to make any mess over there. The shops were decorated very beautifully and most of them were selling the sand of moon and photographs as a soverniers because tourists were not allowed to take any photographs due to security reasons. 

There was a Foriegn Exchange Bureau also to ease the tourists to buy anything they want. And I noticed that people were really good in bargain.

Now it was the time to go back to Earth. I asked everybody to enter the rocket and to fasten the seat belts. We all were ready to say goodbye to moon and I was happy that I will be coming here everyday! and may be if i will work hard I will get the posting on Mars,! then Juipter! and then Saturn!!!  and my pay package will be ………. will be…………. will be………..

Good Morning, Good Morning, my cuckoo came out of the clock and broke my wondeful dream and  oh God, my salary calculations?, well may be sometimes later in another dreamy journey.

I am standing at the Bus Depot to catch the bus to my office.
