UNSUNG HEROES OF SPACE and THEY SAY – by Parul Atul Bhaiya

Dear space,

The night I saw you, I could not take my eyes off you
That was the time I decided, that one day I’ll surely reach you…
The sparkling white beauty and the heavenly wandering stars,
Made me wonder this, “Oh ! how beautiful they are”
Eventually the day came, when I ought to leave my beloved earth
To discover another world called space, for all that one is worth..

I woke up that day, in an awe to see you…
Along with strength, I fetched water, food and EMU’S…

It took years for me to reach you,
Surviving the smaller and bigger issues
Perhaps the only thing that didn’t break me,
Was definitely the urge to witness you…
Temprature, radiation and senses disruption,
Vaccum, Bone and muscle deteoriation,
These were few of those extreme conditions
Made me felt, I had to be my only motivation..
Moving close, closer and more closer to you,
Felt like entering a new world out of the blues
Going towards a bigger sphere, leaving behind chaos

That very moment made me realize
What an amazing discovery a astro life was !

Reaching the destination, along with my fellow mates
I exclaimed “Something’s wrong with my weight”
The journey towards you was seamlessly astounding,
Even so the destination was just like my dream

With breathtaking surrounding..
Travelling back to THE GREEN HOME,
After years and years of research zone,
I thank the universe for giving me strength,
Also believing in what I meant..

Today is the day, I have retired from my ambition
That once for me was a mighty vision,
To dream, then fulfill, then accomplish it
I felt “ Yes I have completed my live’s mission”

THEY SAY

They Say
“I’m bored INSIDE”
Because they don’t know what struggle is going on OUTSIDE…

They Say
I miss my family
But they don’t feel that some of them have already lost their family
members FOREVER…

They Say
I can’t even step out of my house
Because they don’t realise the contribution they’re doing for their
COUNTRY…

REMEMBER, THE ONES OUTSIDE ARE SAVING OUR LIVES
AND,
WE ALL ARE JUST BEHIND THE HIVES…
Lastly
They say
“I’m facing a lot of struggle,
Because
They don’t know what real STRUGGLE is..”
