“Can I launch a real rocket and go to real space?”

I replied, “No, not now. May be after you grow big.”

“Then how can I make a story of it now?,” Logic#1

“————” This was my reaction.

He is used to seeing this blank face of his mom, so he decided to come up with a solution by himself.

“Ok Amma. I will go to space in my dream.”

“?”

“Because I cannot go in reality.” Logic #2

“Fine.”

“But the rocket, astronauts, alien, planets have to be flying in the air.”

“W-H-A-T N-O-W?”

“Yes, Amma. They won’t be standing on a paper stand, like this.” Logic#3

 On a cold, winter night, Vihaan and Amma are sleeping. After sometime, Vihaan is getting into a dream. In the dream, he is an astronaut. Well, Amma is his co-astronaut 😆 They are at the rocket launch station, where a rocket is ready to launch. The count down for the launch begins – 10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1…0! Zoom…..the rocket flies up high in the sky.

It was the first time I realized that he hasn’t learnt yet to read numbers backwards, that is, from 10 to 1. If you check the video, he says it from 1 to 10 though actually he meant a count down.

Vihaan and Amma are flying out of the space station. First, they meet planet Venus. Amma exclaims, “Look Vihaan, that’s planet Venus.” After a casual chat with Venus, they now land somewhere. But which place is this? Planet Mars introduces himself. Vihaan compares Mar’s appearance to that of an apple. They are offered a round around the planet on a Rover. Next in line is planet Saturn which he identifies by himself by looking at the rings around it. As they contiue their exploration, Booh! There’s an alien. Vihaan is frightened and tries to run. However, the alien says that alien loves human beings and promises to take them back to Earth. That’s when Vihaan wakes up to a bright, sunny morning.
