What happens when democracy itself has barriers? In our recent invited talk, we explored disability, accessibility and participation through real-world examples. Let’s understand it bit-by-bit✨ 🎙️ Part 1: India — The Invisible Candidate A nomination form may seem like a small step in an election. But what happens when that form isn’t accessible? When a process assumes that everyone can read, communicate and participate in the same way, who gets left out? This is where conversations about disability have to move beyond the individual, and towards the systems, processes and environments around us. Because participation isn’t truly equal unless the process is accessible♿️ Part 1 of our invited talk. More coming soon✨ #ISDS #DemocracyRightsForAll #DisabilityRightsForAll #NominationForm #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs

“An over-ambitious project” that’s what my mentor called it, and I agree. I couldn’t finish it the way I had imagined, but whatever I managed to create taught me more than I could have expected. It connected me with people, gave me a sense of responsibility, and pushed me to grow. From thought to screen, I stayed committed to the attempt. Along the way, everyone who became a part of me or this project has my gratitude those who believed in me.♥️ A few ingredients were missing this time, and the journey remains incomplete, but I am grateful to have been a part of it and to have experienced that energy. And for that reason, I am here, and I will continue to be here. Thanks to the people of NID✨ . . . . . . . #film #ad #cinema #frames #filmmaking

It is said that Ravana had become invincible after getting a boon from Lord Brahma. This invincibility also gave him a lot of powers and freedom of spending time with divine women, often forcefully and otherwise. Ravan’s wife, Mandodari felt neglected and decided to end her life, by consuming poison. The poison is stored in jars inside a large vault in the palace, or so she presumes. But this is in reality the blood of sages who were tortured and killed by Ravan. The poison converts into a child in her womb, and soon she delivers an egg. Astrologers predicted that the daughter born out of the egg would cause the destruction of both Ravana and the rakshasa clans. Ravana was outraged and wanted to destroy the egg immediately, but Mandodari was unable to do that and she handed the egg to a trusted minister and asked him to float it in the ocean. The minister put it into a golden casket and set it afloat in the Bay of Bengal. This landed up in a fisherman’s net. The fisherman was called Madhab Jalia who took it home to his wife, who was believed to be extremely religious. She was named Sata and she received the egg with great ritualistic fervor. Goddess Lakshmi who was in the egg, in the form of the unborn Sita blessed her and the poor fisherman became rich. Meanwhile the goddess appeared in the dreams of the fisherman’s wife and asked her to deliver the egg to the wife of King Janaka. Sata, the wife of the fisherman delivers the egg to the queen with only one request, that may the child born out of the egg, be named Sita, after her (a slight interplay of vowels). Soon Sita is born and bears the name of a poor fisherman’s wife.#keralasbestkeptsecret #thinkdreambreathepaintrepeat #thesewallsaremeantformurals #whereangelsfeartotread #dhyanasankalpam
