Journey Beyond Earth
Introduction Life has a way of turning ordinary journeys into extraordinary adventures. Our family’s story is woven with countless road trips—long drives between home and work, where the car became more than just a vehicle; it was a space of bonding, laughter, and shared dreams. As our children grew, so did our conversations, shaped by the endless roads stretching ahead of us. One day, during one such journey, a thought struck me—"Why not see everything as connected to space?" It was a simple idea, yet it sparked a wave of imagination in our travels, turning even the most routine landscapes into cosmic wonders. The sheer joy and satisfaction we felt in these discussions made the universe seem closer than ever. I think it was the open mind of the child journeying with us that inspired me to think beyond the ordinary and imagine all this. And then, the idea of this book-cum-novel was born. It wasn’t something I planned or struggled with—it simply flowed, as if it had always been waiting to be written. This short novel is a unique combination of science fiction and autobiographical reality. Just like the dual nature of matter—both wave and particle—this story, too, holds two truths at once. It is as real as it is fictional. What one perceives, it becomes. It dances between fact and imagination, shaped by the reader’s own lens. In other words, it's like the illustrator's biographical life journey projected into space. It also holds both spiritual and material meaning, depending on the viewpoint of the reader. For some, it may appear as a futuristic tale about life beyond Earth; for others, it may resonate as a metaphor for the journey within. One who is fulfilled with the outward journey can only then begin the inward one. Trying to go inward too soon, without first exploring the outer realms, may keep one under the subtle grip of illusion. Interestingly, I had always written under a pen name, choosing to keep my identity undisclosed for various reasons. My son, though, was never really a fan. He’d tease me all the time, saying stuff like, “Papa, your pen name is totally lame!” All I could do was laugh and shake my head. So, for the first time, I made a different choice—I wrote this book in his name instead of mine. It felt like the perfect tribute to the youngest member of our family, who was just a little child—still in nursery and kindergarten—when we first stepped beyond the comfort of home and into a world of endless possibilities. This book is more than just a story; it’s a reflection of our journey, a blend of love, curiosity, science, dreams—and the belief that no destination is too far—not even the moon.
