Massacre in plain sight During a visit to Nuh’s Kotla reservoir, I witnessed a horrifying scene—migratory birds trapped in giant nets, one wood sandpiper brutally chopped before I could stop it. Nets are laid before migratory season. Why? To catch and sell birds for ₹500–900

Renormalisation is a central concept in modern physics. It describes how the dynamics of a system change at different scales. A great way to understand and visualise renormalisation is the Ising model (some math, but one can follow without it ) 1/13
