Today, on #WorldGujaratiLanguageDay, we honor the timeless beauty of a language that carries the fragrance of our #wisdom, #culture, and #pride.

Observed every year on August 24, this day pays tribute to the legendary poet Narmadashankar Dave on his birth anniversary, and celebrates the richness of #Gujarati language, #literature, and #heritage.

ગુજરાતી is more than just a #language – it is our #identity, our #emotion, our living #legacy.

Let us cherish it, nurture it, and pass it on with love to generations ahead.

#GujaratiLanguageDay #PrideInGujarati

આભાર 🙏

A remarkable moment in the evolution of robotics.

At the #WorldHumanoidRobotGames in #Beijing, a humanoid robot developed by the Beijing Innovation Centre of Humanoid Robotics reportedly completed the 100m in 9.39 seconds - faster than Jamaican runner Bolt’s human world record of 9.58 seconds, set in 2009.

The competition goes far beyond speed, featuring boxing, football and even practical household tasks such as folding laundry.

This is more than a race against a record. It is a glimpse of how #artificialintelligence, #robotics and #engineering are converging to create machines that can move, learn and perform in increasingly human-like ways.

Humanity’s greatest achievement is not being surpassed by machines - it is having the imagination to build them.

“જય જય ગરવી ગુજરાત” is more than a song - it is the heartbeat of a language, a culture and a people whose spirit travels across generations and borders.

On #WorldGujaratiLanguageDay, let us honour #KaviNarmad and all who enriched Gujarati, while pledging to speak, read, write and pass on our beautiful માતૃભાષા with pride.

ગુજરાતી ગૌરવ, ગુજરાતનું ગૌરવ!🙏

On this day, we celebrate Albert Claude and Hamilton O. Smith - scientific pioneers whose discoveries changed how we understand life at its most fundamental level.

#AlbertClaude - 1974 Nobel Prize in #Medicine. His pioneering work in cell fractionation and electron microscopy helped reveal the cell’s intricate internal organization, laying foundations for modern cell biology.

#HamiltonOSmith - 1978 Nobel Prize in Medicine. His discovery of restriction enzymes gave scientists powerful tools to cut and study DNA, helping launch the era of molecular genetics and biotechnology.

Their remarkable contributions remind us that when #curiosity meets #perseverance, it can transform our understanding of #life and open entirely new frontiers of #science.

Language is the key that unlocks connections, and translation is the bridge that unites us all.

On this #InternationalTranslationDay, we celebrate the power of #translation in transcending #borders, #cultures, and #perspectives.

Translators are the unseen heroes who weave the threads of global understanding, sharing #knowledge, stories, and #ideas across #languages.

Today, let’s honour their invaluable role in creating a #world that is more #connected, #inclusive, and #united.

Wishing everyone a Happy International Translation Day!

Greetings on World Gujarati Language Day on 24 August 2026!

#Language is more than words - it is the soul of a civilisation, the memory of generations and a bridge to the future.

On #WorldGujaratiLanguageDay, let us celebrate the richness of #Gujarati, nurture it among our children and carry its timeless wisdom into a changing world.

A heartfelt tribute to all poets, writers, language leaders, teachers and mentors whose creativity, wisdom and dedication have enriched Gujarati and earned it a place of pride and respect.

ગુજરાતી ભાષા - આપણું ગૌરવ, આપણી ઓળખ, આપણો વારસો.

Humanity is preparing to take a new kind of power to Mars!

NASA’s planned Space Reactor-1 Freedom mission could demonstrate how #nuclearenergy can generate #electricity in #deepspace - an important step toward powering future human missions across the #SolarSystem.

From #Earth to #Mars and beyond, every bold frontier begins with the courage to innovate and the imagination to dream bigger.

What if the next breakthrough in medicine comes not from a laboratory on Earth, but from the microgravity of space?

Bhubaneswar-based startup #SerendipitySpace is turning that possibility into reality with #Alchemy, an autonomous pharmaceutical manufacturing module designed to explore drug crystallisation in near-space and microgravity conditions.

This is the new face of India’s space journey - where space science meets healthcare, deep-tech meets imagination, and startups turn bold ideas into possibilities for humanity.

On #NationalSpaceDay, let us celebrate an India that does not merely reach for the stars, but uses the stars to improve life on Earth.

Sometimes, slowing down helps us think deeper, remember better and learn meaningfully.

कभी-कभी बुद्धिमत्ता पंखों में भी दिखाई देती है।

एक कौए का पानी पाने के लिए नल खोलना और पानी पीने के बाद उसे बंद करना - प्रकृति में सीखने, याद रखने और समस्या का समाधान करने की अद्भुत क्षमता की झलक देता है।

प्रकृति हमें याद दिलाती है कि सीखने की जिज्ञासा और समझ केवल मनुष्य तक सीमित नहीं है।

जीवन की हर धड़कन में सीखने और खोजने की एक अनोखी कहानी छिपी है।

@narottamsahoo @NobelPrize @Nanotechnology @RoySocChem @RWPhysics @EduMinOfIndia @IndiaDST @arjunmodhwadia @CMOGuj @PMOIndia @PIB_India Greatest discoveries often begin with curiosity!

From buckyballs to graphene to ribosome, the Nobel Laureates show how asking bold questions can reshape science for benefits of humanity.

May their journeys inspire Gen Z to question, explore, discover and dream beyond the known.

[Dr. Narottam Sahoo @narottamsahoo]

August 23 celebrates the birthdays of three remarkable #NobelLaureates whose work transformed our understanding of matter and life:

🔬 Robert F. Curl Jr. — buckyballs (Chemistry)
🧬 Thomas A. Steitz — the ribosome (Chemistry)
⚛️ Konstantin Novoselov — graphene (Physics)

Their discoveries remind us that curiosity can reveal entirely new worlds - from carbon nanostructures to the molecular machinery of life and the thinnest material known.

Great science begins with a question - and can change the future.

India’s space journey is a story of courage, curiosity, innovation and the power of dreams.

On #NationalSpaceDay, we salute and thank the brilliant scientists, engineers, technical teams, @isro, @INSPACeIND and India’s growing SpaceTech & DeepTech startups whose vision and perseverance are taking our nation to new frontiers.

From #Chandrayaan to the dreams of #Gaganyaan, a #BharatiyaAntarikshaStation and human footsteps on the Moon, India continues to reach for the stars - and inspire generations to dream beyond the horizon.

Jai Vigyan. Jai Anusandhan. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

A pen may do far more than put words on paper - it may help the brain learn, connect and remember!

Research suggests that handwriting engages brain networks involved in movement, sensory processing and memory, while typing often allows us to capture information faster and more efficiently.

In a world increasingly shaped by screens and keyboards, perhaps we should pause and rediscover the quiet power of pen, paper and thought.

Sometimes, slowing down is not a step backward - it is a deeper way of learning.

[Dr. Narottam Sahoo @narottamsahoo]

तीन वर्ष पहले, भारत ने चंद्रयान-3 की ऐतिहासिक सॉफ्ट लैंडिंग के साथ चंद्रमा के दक्षिणी ध्रुवीय क्षेत्र में नया इतिहास रचा—एक ऐसा क्षेत्र, जहाँ पहले किसी देश ने सफलतापूर्वक कदम नहीं रखा था।

हमने उस ऐतिहासिक स्थल को ‘शिव शक्ति पॉइंट’ नाम दिया - साहस, विज्ञान, संकल्प और करोड़ों भारतीयों के असीम सपनों का प्रतीक।

आज राष्ट्रीय अंतरिक्ष दिवस पर हम उस गौरवशाली क्षण को नमन करते हुए भविष्य की ओर आशा और आत्मविश्वास से देखते हैं।

चंद्रयान-3 से चंद्रयान-4, गगनयान, भारत अंतरिक्ष स्टेशन और चंद्रमा पर भारतीय के कदम रखने के सपने तक - भारत की अंतरिक्ष यात्रा निरंतर आगे बढ़ रही है; और अधिक दूर, और अधिक ऊँचाई तक, और ब्रह्मांड के अनजाने रहस्यों की ओर। 🇮🇳

चाँद हमारी मंज़िल नहीं,
सितारों तक पहुँचने की एक सीढ़ी है।
