Reports observations of stars and galaxies mainly from the Vainu Bappu Observatory (VBO), Kavalur, over the last 25 years. The Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA), of which the Vainu Bappu Observatory is a field station, was created as an autonomous research institution on 1 April 1971. This article is written in commemoration of the Silver Jubilee of IIA. Although astronomical observations started in Kavalur as early as 1968, it was only in 1972 with the commissioning of the 102-cm Zeiss reflector that Kavalur Observatory attained the status of a fully fledged stellar observatory. Without being technical, the article attempts to give the reader a flavour of the research the astronomers in IIA have been engaged in, with special reference to the observations done at VBO.
