Food! Finally a festival after five days of severe ration. A ship from Earth found its way to Venus with loads and loads of food. They sent more than usual quantity. Rice cakes, wheat cakes, milk products, fruit freezers, flour vallas…. OK. the list goes on. But more important thing is they include my favorite sweet bullets, Gulab jamoons – Chilled ones. I love them. Even while remembering them now my mouth is watering.

Finally I succeeded in luring Vishal to Venus. He is here today, will be working in port only. We will be plat-mates again. cool. I hope this will keep me away from loneliness and boredom. One biggest problem with Vishal is he talks rarely. Keyuri is altogether different. Even though she was one week Venusite, we become good friends. She talks and talks and talks. I love her, I mean not in literary sense of falling in love, but I love to spend time with her. These days I am regular to commons, only reason is Keyuri. And they started rations for food; looks like supplies from Earth dwindled. Wish it will be normal again.

Life is lot frustrating, it is third year I am here on Venus. Now the population is a little more than 500. That means I have very little to do. Most of the time I am listening to music carried from earth or looking out at unexplored Venus plains. Unlike earth we have commons here, where everybody meet in the evening. That is a great idea but I think this may not be possible on earth where everybody is busy from morning to morning and the population is not 500! In spite of this commons I still think life is haunting, alone and boring. Something must be done. Something must be done.

I am on Venus. It is beautiful. After living on earth for most of my life where concrete is reality and forest is something luxury the view of Venus from my shuttle is like heaven. The first thing I did is to look at sky and then land! They are similar to Earth! Micro-terra forming what an invention. Using microbes to make all these deserted planets livable and lovable for human beings. It took 14 hours to actually become a Venus citizen. First they put me in some chamber where I was cleaned of any microbes. It is little hot in that chamber, but OK. Then there are formalities, process, documents, signatures. As I am good at documentation work didn’t faced any issues. Now I am a Venus citizen. My job is at port, the same chamber operator. who ever comes here have to go through me! my VUID is 6511. I am the 236th person to come here. Even though the planet is huge, only one building is opened for residence, rest of the planet is still undergoing transformation. Most of the people here are working on that transformation work only. Wishing myself all the best.
