My father was a watchman at ITC in New Delhi from 1995-2000; today I had the opportunity to take him to the same place for dinner :)

- This is a govt school of District Bulandshahr in Uttar Pradesh :)
- I have constructed this Astronomy lab in one of the schools in Sonipat where students from 6th to 12th will get an opportunity to explore the universe through various experiments, skywatching through the telescopes. It's my passion to get Astronomy to each corner, look up! ✨
- A friend of mine is making these masks for hearing impaired people who depend on lip-syncing. It just costs 20 INR. Friend wants to scale and provide this to people who are in need. Delivery can happen anywhere in India. Please retweet this so it could reach to the right people.
- Took this picture in Ladakh; you can see the Milky Way bit faint here; we created an Astronomy lab here at KV Leh!
- Fun fact; when Sir Stephen Hawking visited India in January 2001 he wanted to visit the Red Fort, Humayun's Tomb, Jantar Mantar, Qutub Minar and the Taj Mahal and due to him these monuments became wheelchair accessible. The ASI overnight had to install wooden ramps for him.
- Replying to @desiastronomerThere is a increase of 30% in attendance in the school after an Astronomy lab came to the school :)
00:00 - Replying to @desiastronomerrandomly walk to any school and ask any kid about anything, they will tell you the universe :) no hawabazi, only science.
- I just finished this 3 days back in an extreme backward district in UP; this lab is 55kms from the main city and has one of the best infrastructures to study science even in an extreme backward place.
00:00Thousands of edTech startups have been created in the last 4 years. I didn't hear about any big startup that was based around providing infra and mentors for Physical Labs with good equipment - Replying to @desiastronomer12 new admissions in one month has come to gram panchayat Sawali after the lab.
- I took this shots from phone, when I woke up around 6:30am I had zero hope to watch the eclipse but still fingers were crossed and somehow it got clear when the maximum eclipse was happening. It was a brilliantly show. Hope you had a wonderful sky watch! Took these in Coorg!
- As @CSIR_IND turned 80 years old today; I have something special to show you :) @sparkastronomy recently build an Astronomy Lab in the hometown of Sir Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar in Sikandarabad. It is in the primary school of Mukundgarhi village.
