Talk on Enigmas of Science at the University of Kerala
The Department of Aquatic Biology and Fisheries, University of Kerala, celebrated National Science Day 2025 with great enthusiasm on February 28. The talk on "Enigmas of Science" was brought to life through an engaging session where I had the opportunity to speak on quantum entanglement to the students of Aquatic Biology. I am deeply grateful to Rafi Sir, Pramod Sir, and Bijukumar Sir for this wonderful opportunity. The warmth and affection I received after the talk were truly heartening. A special thanks to my friend Pramod, the KUTA Secretary. Rafi, as always, was exceptional, and I feel privileged to now share a connection with Aquatic Biology.
To conclude with the words of Tagore, just as literature on a page holds meaning beyond the ink and organic materials that form it, these gestures go beyond words. Happy to have been part of this special occasion
Here are some snapshots and video highlights from the event:

A Night Under the Stars:
Hosting ‘Tharapadam Chethoharam’ at Kerala University
The thrill of gazing at the cosmos, the wonder of
unraveling celestial mysteries, and the joy of sharing knowledge with curious
minds—these are the experiences that make astronomy truly special. I had the privilege
of hosting the much-anticipated astronomy learning camp, ‘Tharapadam
Chethoharam,’ organized by the Kerala University Department Students
Union in association with KSSP, Campus Science Society and Luka Space Science
Outreach Program. The program was scheduled for February 10, 2025,
from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM at Kariavattom Campus, University of Kerala.
The night sky served as our grand classroom, where students and space lovers got
chance to explore the wonders of the universe through telescopic observations
and expert discussions. Sharing photos of the same.

Gratitude and the Flow of Time: A Birthday Reflection
Another year flows into the river of time, and with it comes the gentle reminder that life is not measured by the days we count but by the hearts we touch. Today, I was blessed with the warm wishes of a vibrant group of students who took the time to celebrate my existence with their heartfelt words. I bow in gratitude to each of them—not for the celebration, but for the effort, the kindness, and the sincerity behind their gestures.
As the years unfold, birthdays cease to be mere milestones; they become quiet reflections on the journey walked and the connections nurtured. In the grand cycle of life, we do not own time; we merely flow with it. And in this flow, what matters is not the number of years but the love, wisdom, and energy we exchange with one another.
To all who consider me a part of their lives, I extend my deepest gratitude. If our paths have crossed in even the smallest way, know that it has left an imprint on my soul, just as I hope I have left something meaningful in yours.
Sharing a moment — a photo and a link to a video— as a token of this connection.
