On #InternationalDayOfSignLanguages, let us remember: communication is not limited to spoken words.

A gesture can carry a dream.
A sign can express love.
A silent conversation can build a bridge between hearts.

#SignLanguages give millions the freedom to learn, connect, participate and be heard.

Let us create a world where no voice is silenced, no expression is ignored, and no person is left behind.

Because true inclusion begins when every voice finds a way to be heard.

[Trilochan Netralaya @trilochaneye]

International Day of Sign Languages | 23 September 2026.

Communication is more than spoken words - it is the ability to be heard, understood and included.

At #TrilochanNetralaya, Sambalpur, let us build a world where every person, regardless of ability, can access care, dignity and opportunity.

#Vision enables us to see. #Inclusion enables us to belong.

Let every #gesture speak of compassion, every sign convey hope, and every effort create a more inclusive society.

See with compassion. Communicate with inclusion. Empower every life.

[Dr. Narottam Sahoo @narottamsahoo]

Different minds. Different perspectives. One circle of conversation!

When Gen Z comes together, #ideas meet, #questions open new doors, and #possibilities begin to take shape.

True #learning is not merely about listening - it is about thinking together, questioning assumptions, sharing perspectives, and inspiring one another to see beyond the obvious.

Let every #conversation awaken #curiosity.
Let every question deepen understanding.
Let every idea spark a new possibility.

Because when minds connect, ideas become movements - and conversations become catalysts for change.

Celebrating #MichaelFaraday - the man who made invisible forces visible!

Born on 22 September 1791, Faraday transformed our understanding of #electricity and #magnetism.

His discoveries in electromagnetic induction, electrolysis and electric motors helped lay the foundations of the modern electrical age.

From humble beginnings to becoming one of history’s greatest experimental scientists, #Faraday reminds us:

#Curiosity asks the question.
#Experiment reveals the answer.
#Persistence turns discovery into progress.

Let us keep Faraday’s spirit alive - question fearlessly, explore patiently, experiment boldly, and inspire the next generation to turn curiosity into discoveries that serve humanity.

Keep asking “Why?” Keep discovering. Keep innovating.

Born on 22 September: Three Nobel Laureates who changed how we understand nature, the universe & disease!

🔹 #ChenNingYang (1922) - Nobel Prize in Physics, 1957: showed that parity is not conserved in weak interactions, reshaping our understanding of fundamental symmetries; co-developed Yang–Mills theory.

🔹 #CharlesBrentonHuggins (1901) - Nobel Prize in Medicine, 1966: revealed how hormones can control cancer growth, opening new pathways for #cancer treatment.

🔹 #SaulPerlmutter (1959) - Nobel Prize in Physics, 2011: helped reveal that the expansion of our universe is accelerating through observations of distant Type Ia #supernovae.

From the microscopic laws of nature to the fate of the universe and the fight against cancer, their discoveries remind us that curiosity can transform humanity’s understanding of the world.

Celebrate their legacy by staying curious, questioning boldly and inspiring the next generation of scientists.

Social media can be more than a space for connection - it can become a force for positive change!

Let’s use our voices to educate, inspire and empower young minds to say NO to substance abuse and YES to health, hope and a brighter future.

Together, let’s build a healthier, stronger and drug-free India.

The next gold rush may be hiding in our drawers!

A metric ton of discarded mobile phones can contain up to 100× more #gold than a metric ton of #goldore - yet only 22.3% of global e-waste is formally collected and recycled.

What we call #waste may be a valuable urban mine.

Recycle. Recover. Reimagine.

#WHYSeries | Why does a flame turn crimson, yellow, lilac or green when different metals are heated?

A simple #flame can reveal the hidden fingerprint of an #element!

When a #metal salt is heated, its electrons absorb energy and jump to higher energy levels. As they return to lower levels, they release energy as light.

Because every element has its own unique set of energy levels, it emits specific wavelengths - and therefore a characteristic flame colour.

🔴 Li — Crimson red
🟡 Na — Bright yellow
🟣 K — Lilac
🧱 Ca — Brick red
❤️ Sr — Scarlet red
🟢 Ba — Apple green
🔵 Cu — Blue-green

A simple flame becomes a window into the #quantum world - helping us identify elements by their unique colours.

When robots begin building robots, the future of manufacturing is already here!

A new #HumanoidRobotFactory in #China can reportedly produce one #industrialrobot every 10 minutes, with an annual capacity of 10,000 robots.

This is more than #automation - it is a glimpse of how AI, robotics and human ingenuity are reshaping the factories of tomorrow.

The question for the next generation is not “Will #robots change the world?”
It is “How will we shape that change?”

19 September 1926 - The Birth of a Neutrino Pioneer!

#MasatoshiKoshiba showed us that even the most elusive particles can reveal the secrets of the #Universe.

By building the Kamiokande experiments, he detected faint signals from neutrinos - including those from the 1987 #supernova - opening a new window on the cosmos.

His pioneering work earned the 2002 #NobelPrize in #Physics.

When we learn to detect the nearly invisible, the Universe begins to speak.

The #InternationalCoastalCleanupDay is being celebrated on 19 September 2026.

Our #oceans have no borders - and neither should our responsibility to protect them.

Every bottle we remove, every piece of plastic we prevent, and every shoreline we restore is a small step towards healthier #seas and a safer #planet.

Clean coasts. Healthy oceans. A #sustainable future.

Let’s turn concern into action, because every wave carries a message for generations to come.

The Nobel Prize is raising the bar - not just the prize money.

As the #NobelPrize celebrates 125 years, the Nobel Foundation has increased the 2026 prize amount by SEK 1 million, to SEK 12 million (11.6 Crore INR or 1.27 Million USD) per prize category

But the true value of a Nobel Prize goes far beyond money!

It celebrates ideas that expand knowledge, discoveries that transform lives and efforts that benefit humanity.

May this milestone inspire more young minds to ask bold questions, pursue knowledge, embrace innovation and create solutions for a better world.

Curiosity → Discovery → Impact → Humanity

Let us build a culture where every question can become the beginning of a breakthrough.

19 સપ્ટેમ્બર 2026, શનિવાર | શુક્લ પક્ષ આઠમ

આજે International Observe the Moon Night નિમિત્તે ચાલો, થોડી ક્ષણો માટે આકાશ તરફ નજર કરીએ અને આપણા સૌથી નજીકના આકાશી સાથી ચંદ્રને નિહાળીએ.

આ તબક્કે ચંદ્ર પર પ્રકાશ અને અંધકારની સરહદ પાસે પડતા લાંબા પડછાયા તેની સપાટી પરના ખાડા, પર્વતો અને ઊંચા-નીચા પ્રદેશોને વધુ સ્પષ્ટ બનાવે છે.

પણ ચંદ્રદર્શન માત્ર સુંદર દૃશ્ય માણવા પૂરતું નથી—તે આપણામાં જિજ્ઞાસા જગાડે છે, પ્રશ્નો પૂછવા પ્રેરે છે અને બ્રહ્માંડને વધુ નજીકથી સમજવાની ઇચ્છા જન્માવે છે.

આજે ચંદ્રને માત્ર જુઓ નહીં… તેને સમજો, તેના વિશે વિચારો અને તમારી જિજ્ઞાસાને આકાશ સુધી પહોંચવા દો.

આવો, એક નજર ચંદ્ર તરફ કરીએ અને એક વિચાર બ્રહ્માંડ તરફ મોકલીએ.

Look up tonight - our nearest celestial neighbour is waiting to tell a story!

This 19 September, join millions around the world for #InternationalObservetheMoon Night 2026.

Take a few moments this evening to look at the Moon with your family, friends, binoculars or telescope - and discover its craters, mountains, shadows and stories.

#NASA encourages everyone to participate, from wherever they are.

Let curiosity turn a simple glance at the Moon into a journey of #science, #exploration and #imagination.

Look up. Observe. Wonder. Learn. Share.

20 September 1848 - A milestone for science!

The founding of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (#AAAS) marked the birth of the first permanent national science organization in the United States.

From sharing #knowledge to shaping the #future, science advances when curiosity becomes collaboration and discovery becomes a shared human endeavour.

Let us keep advancing #science - for a better #tomorrow.

“Sata Kahibaku Kian Daribi - Sata Kahi Pachhe Male Maribi.”

Why should I fear speaking the truth? Let me speak the truth, whatever the consequences.

Imagine a time when looking at the sky - and asking what truly moves - could put you on trial.

On 20 September 1633, #GalileoGalilei faced the Roman Inquisition for defending a revolutionary idea: #Earth is not the centre of the #Universe; it moves around the #Sun.

His #telescope had revealed a changing, dynamic heavens that challenged long-held beliefs.

Galileo did not invent #heliocentrism , but he helped transform it from a #mathematical idea into a question demanding observation and evidence.

His ordeal reminds us that #science advances when we dare to question, observe carefully, test ideas and follow evidence - even when the answer challenges what we have always believed.

Centuries later, Galileo's greatest legacy is not simply that he looked through a telescope.

It is that he taught humanity to look again.

[Dr. Narottam Sahoo @narottamsahoo]

Peace is not merely the absence of war - it is the presence of safety, dignity, opportunity and cooperation.

On 21 September, #InternationalDayofPeace, let us remember that lasting peace is built not only in conference rooms, but through the everyday actions of people everywhere.

Under the theme “#InvestInPeace : For Everyone, Everywhere, Every Day,” let us become everyday architects of peace - choosing dialogue over division, empathy over hostility, and cooperation over conflict.

#Peace begins with each of us, every day.
