"Science is more than a body of knowledge. It's a way of thinking, a way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility."
Yes, itтАЩs a team sport. And this is a team victory.
But every championship has a story that comes to define it.
This one belongs, in no small measure, to this man.
Because of his Loyalty, Commitment, Belief.
He stayed the course through years of near misses and disappointment.
His faith was rewarded.
Inspiring, whatever your profession.

As the sun sets over the Brahmaputra, #Majuli, the worldтАЩs largest river island, offers striking river views.
MajuliтАЩs fame goes beyond its natural beauty, it is renowned for its satras, living repositories of Assamese culture, heritage, and deep connection with the river.

Museums are living windows into a civilisationтАЩs history, and BiharтАЩs legacy is among the richest - from the republican traditions of Vaishali and the Licchavis to the grandeur of the Mauryan Empire and ancient Pataliputra.
The Bihar Museum brings this heritage alive through modern galleries, including the iconic 2,200-year-old Didarganj Yakshi. Patna Museum, fondly known as Jadu Ghar, preserves invaluable sculptures, artefacts, manuscripts, coins and relics reflecting BiharтАЩs deep historical roots.
On #InternationalMuseumDay, we celebrate these institutions that preserve our heritage.
