EXTRA-ORDINARY : Stories of Science from Everyday Life
Aparna Agarwal invites you into her home and shows you something remarkable: the extraordinary physics lurking behind ordinary things. A fruit bowl becomes a lesson in agricultural cloning. The sky's hue transforms into a puzzle about nature's colour palette. Your pet's gaze reveals something unsettling about how differently we perceive reality. What makes this collection special isn't just the science itself, but the infectious enthusiasm Agarwal brings to each observation. She writes like someone who's stumbled upon secrets everywhere and can't help but share them. Her prose sparkles with personality, mixing rigorous explanation with wry observations and genuine delight. You'll find yourself looking at familiar objects differently after reading this. The laboratory, it turns out, has always been right there in your kitchen, your garden, your street. No fancy equipment needed, just attentiveness and a willingness to be surprised by what's been staring at you all along.
