Abstract : The interstellar medium (ISM), from which the new stars are born and to which the old stars inject matter and energy, thereby enriching it, is an integral and important component of the galaxies. Understanding the structure and evolution of the interstellar medium, that involves a diverse range of phenomena and a wide range of scales, is an interesting exercise. I will briefly present how low radio frequency observations and numerical simulations can be utilized to explore a plethora of science cases like the local ISM conditions and the dynamics of nearby galaxies. I will particularly focus on three closely related aspects - the multiphase nature of the atomic ISM, interstellar turbulence and magnetic field - that play crucial roles in shaping the properties of the ISM, and highlight the latest insights and challenges in our understanding of the atomic interstellar medium.
