The passing of Dr. Jayant Narlikar is a monumental loss to the scientific community. He was a luminary, especially in the field of astrophysics. His pioneering works, especially key theoretical frameworks will be valued by generations of researchers. He made a mark as an institution builder, grooming centres of learning and innovation for young minds. His writings have also gone a long way in making science accessible to common citizens. Condolences to his family and friends in this hour of grief. Om Shanti.
Plastic trash interceptor could be a very effective intervention to prevent plastic getting into our rivers and oceans. CM Thiru @mkstalin has just sanctioned the TN Coastal Restoration Mission for 14 coastal districts in TN at a cost of Rs 1675 Crores. We will work on several initiatives like plastic trash interceptors to prevent plastic pollution. Video credits - @TheOceanCleanup@WorldBankIndia@gigadgets_
Heartwarming Moment of the Day
A deeply emotional and pride-filled moment as Shri Radhe Shyam Kanswal ji accepts the Tenzing Norgay National Adventure Award 2022 in Land Adventure on behalf of his late daughter, Savita Kanswal.
Savita became the 1st Indian woman to scale Mt. Everest and Mt. Makalu in a span of 16 days. With a decade-long career in mountaineering, she exhibited immense courage, determination, and endurance and displayed valour in the line of duty.
I salute her invaluable contribution 🙏

While we are talking about #ExploreIndianIslands, you wouldn’t believe it 😮-Assam has 2,000 riverine & shifting islands. 🏝️
Among them Majuli stands out for being the world’s biggest riverine island and cradle of our civilisation while Umananda is the world's smallest river island & abode of Lord Shiva.
Hai na #AwesomeAssam ?

The way the Indian team has played this whole tournament is a matter of honour and they showed great spirit and tenacity. It’s a sport and there are always a bad day or two. Unfortunately it happened today….but thank u Team India for making us so proud of our sporting legacy in cricket…u bring too much cheer to the whole of India. Love and respect. You make us one proud Nation.
—Sport is the greatest teacher of humility.
—Team India was amazing in every way and came much further than anyone had hoped for initially.
~~We need to support our men in blue now, more than ever.
Yes all of the above is true. But I’ve also learned that, in life, one should acknowledge one’s feeling of loss—and not sweep it under the carpet if you want to move on.
So I’m sharing a picture which captures truthfully how I’m feeling now…

Australia have been enormously impressive today. They chose to bowl first and made the most of the dry and slow surface. Normally, Australia exploit pace and bounce, today they used the slowness as well as was possible.
