Letter To Mr. Alien!



Hi friends! In one of my meme’s I told you that I’d love to meet an alien if they really exist. So what if I haven’t met one yet? Wouldn’t it be interesting to write a letter to an alien whom I’ve met in my inner eye? This is what I did and posted today.



This is the letter I wrote to an imaginative alien friend telling him about life on Earth!



Hi Mr. Alien,



I hope this letter finds you in the best of your health and spirit! I’ve not been able to forget the meeting with you in my backyard. It just pops into my mind irrespective of what I’m doing! Whether I’m sleeping, studying or playing…I always have a blurred image of the time I shook my hands with you! So you can understand that after this strange turn of events, it’s hard to forget you. It’s not necessary that I’ll meet you once again, I thought I’d write a letter to you!



As we didn’t have a proper conversation the night we met, I’d love to tell you about my planet-Earth! The Earth is a beautiful planet! It has the proper atmospheric conditions for humans to live on! Three-fourth of the Earth is made of water (an essential drink for humans). So, it is also called the blue planet!



The Earth is a fascinating place to live on! Some places on the Earth are a truly amazing sight and a treat to the eyes! Such places have in abundance, the beauty that nature confers upon us! The huge yet gentle looking trees with the mild rays of the sun penetrating through their leaves, the everlasting fragrance of flowers and their tenderness and the other gifts of Mother Nature are things that words can’t describe! People live a life of pleasure at such places!



But unfortunately, humans are now destroying these wonderful sights to live in a sophisticated, modern and well-developed society. We live a life that now consists of modern gizmos and gadgets. Technology rules over humans! Is it like this on your planet too?



The hunger for money and thirst for luxury is leading to constant wars between the countries on this planet! It isn’t like we live a peaceful life! The wars are a real hindrance in the tranquility that could prevail in our lives. I hope all this stops soon and humans bond together and live life as a family!



Our common lives are something like this- small children go to school, parents go to their respective jobs and the youth ride vehicles on the road whizzing past us as if there is no tomorrow. Other young adults who are interested in a good future and career live a life consisting of only books! So, how is life on your planet? Are there any similarities?



Despite all the wars and deforestation, life on Earth is a real roller coaster ride with the computer and internet and of course! Books! There are still great people who live on this Earth! People here are mostly complaining and grumbling about life not aware that they are still enjoying it and the sadness it could case them if they lost it!!!



Hope you enjoyed reading this letter and will write back soon. Convey my sincere regards to Mrs. Alien and the two baby aliens! Hope you pay another visit to our planet soon! Goodbye and take care!



Your sincere friend,



(Meghna)

Excellent imaginative post. Seriously life is so very soothing , nature is so very uncomplicated but it is we who are making it artificial, unreal and complex.

I'm really amazed with your kind of writing at the age of just 12 years. Way to go young lady, keep up the good work.

Take Care,
Siddharth.

good effort. dont know how old you are but i don't know if an alien will really understand what you are trying to say even if it knew english. It may not understand human experiences like beauty, fragrance etc., I feel that the letter should be more descriptive, organized and explanatory. Maybe, Its just me. Now, if you are writing to another young human living in a far off space colony, this might sound appealing to him/her.

Really, nice, I loved the way you portrayed our planet through this hypothetical letter.
