摘要：

I discuss progresses in various areas of Astronomy, Astrophysics and Space Science in which I have been directly involved in my thirty years of research career in India. These areas can be broadly divided into four topics: (a) Black Hole Astrophysics: Theoretical studies of relativistic flows around black holes and neutron stars; Data Analysis and extraction of physical parameters; (b) Ionospheric Science: Earth as a gigantic detector; Ionospheric Science using Very Low Frequency Radio Waves and Earthquake prediction; (c) Astrochemistry/Astrobiology and Origin of prebiotic molecules on Earth and finally, (d) Low cost balloon borne instrumentations and science. In addition, I also discuss a new optical facility that we have developed, especially to study exoplanets, variable stars and GRB afterglows. We discuss possible collaborations in these directions.
