These words are from a younger me, from 2010. When I looked up at the night sky and wondered, and wondered, and.. yeah, wondered. Now, I have completed a PhD in Astrophysics, but it is fascinating to go back to where it all begun. Keeping it in original format, no editing, no corrections. For the Past Me put her best effort in it, I would like to respect her attempt. Sometimes I view the world in a quite different way

Sometimes I think what makes our enormous universe stay

The scientific facts have always attracted the attention of my mind

And I want to look at them but also much more behind

Sometimes I wish to touch the moon just once in my life

I want to carry things to Mars like my birthday cake and a knife

I would have loved if I was an alien to The Milky Way

I would have visited here from Andromeda on every holiday

I usually wonder what’s below the thick ice layers of Europa

Will we ever put a full stop to our knowledge which has a coma

Sometimes I think that if I was the pilot of shuttle Columbia

What would I have felt, sense of sacrifice or mental trauma??

I know my mind travels faster than thirty three years old Voyager

But it’s useless as it can never lemme taste or touch water of glycer

I want to know what our scientists have researched so far

Why don’t they tell us everything they know without any bar

Sometimes I imagine and put myself in Rakesh’s and Neil’s chair

And think how would they have felt landing first step up there

I want to know how the heartbeats of astronauts and pilots retard

When they know the countdown of shuttle has got a start

I sometimes wonder if there is anything stronger than the black hole

No matter how idiotic it is, but I want to play games on Saturn’ s rings like football

What if we got to play hide and seek with no limits of hiding place

We would definitely have gone via shuttle as far as possible in space

I wonder if we will be able to establish a contact with aliens ever

If that happens, the space would be covered with numerous cell towers

Sometimes I think of a family photo taken on a satellite

I doubt how long our source of power, our Sun would be so polite

Will Hawking’s idea of life on Mars after fifty decades will ever be applied

Will things costly like that, when once failed, can again be tried?

Why the idea of sending generations to far away planets is doubted

The newborns will definitely feel good when their cries in space will be shouted

I believe that every idea devoted to increase of knowledge must be considered

So that as soon as possible humans wings in enormous space are scattered

I wish I can someday be able to do or create one of such things

Which can help in the solution of mystery of universe and unknown beings

Sometimes I wish all these secrets are revealed before I am dead

So that I can die peacefully with no questions in my head

This all comes to me because I view the world in a quite different way

Sometimes I think what makes our enormous universe stay, by the way
