Every medicine has a story, from its discovery and development to its manufacture, distribution, and eventual use by a patient.

Submitted by meghana on Mon, 09/28/2026 - 11:20

Every piece of litter left on a street, plastic bottle thrown into a river, or food discarded unnecessarily adds to a much larger environmental problem. Clean up is often seen as something that happens after a place becomes dirty. But a more sustainable approach is to make cleanliness a culture, not a campaign. While humanity struggles to cope and keep the environment cleaner, another challenge daunts everyone: the need to clean up the spaces in the mind.

It honours people who have lost their lives while protecting forests, wildlife, and the natural world.

Submitted by meghana on Mon, 09/28/2026 - 11:10

Every city has a skyline that tells a story. Skyscrapers evolved from 55 meters in 1885 to 828 meters in 2010. The Jeddah Tower under construction in Saudi Arabia is planned to exceed 1,000 meters. India has steadily developed a vertical skyline dominated by luxury residential towers. The next generation of skyscrapers may look very different. Skyscrapers embody one of humanity's oldest ambitions: to reach higher than before.
