What does it take for a story to change how we see the world?

✨ Meet Ayesha Sood (@ayeshasood), Film Director, Editor, and Co-founder of Jamun. Known for acclaimed docuseries such as Indian Predator: The Butcher of Delhi (Netflix) and In Transit (Amazon Prime Video), Ayesha brings nuanced, real-world narratives to the forefront.

Her work probes the power of visual storytelling to engage with complex social realities, building connections between audiences, empathy, and critical reflection.

At Life of the Law Dialogues: Queer Storytellers, we will explore storytelling as a medium that not only reflects lived experiences but also actively shapes cultural and political discourse.

At the heart of India’s film and media ecosystem, these conversations are especially important.

@flipkartsupport is asking why i want to cancel? What on earth is this service? Lol

[Alabanza Syngkon @AlabanzaSyngkon]

Experienced the worst customer service with @Flipkart @flipkartsupport
Ordered a few items a month ago and still not delivered. The delivery guy has been “rescheduling” for 2 weeks straight.

@jagograhakjago @consaff @DoC_GoI @DPIITGoI @GoI_MeitY @DARPG_GoI

[Alabanza Syngkon @AlabanzaSyngkon]

It’s been a month of frustration, no resolution, no accountability, and no customer support that actually helps.

@Flipkart @flipkartsupport this is unacceptable.

[Alabanza Syngkon @AlabanzaSyngkon]

To make it worse, the delivery executive called me twice and spoke rudely because he “doesn’t want to deliver to my address.”

The address is 100% correct, I can literally see it on the app.

Sharing this so others are warned. Think twice before trusting your things with Porter. #PorterExperience #CustomerServiceFail #ConsumerRights @jagograhakjago @consaff @ConsumerVoiceIn @PushpaGirimaji @suchetadalal

[Alabanza Syngkon @AlabanzaSyngkon]

Recently, I had one of the worst experiences with @porterit_ while shifting houses. What was supposed to be a simple move turned into a nightmare. 🧵

[Alabanza Syngkon @AlabanzaSyngkon]

A service that cannot ensure basic care of belongings or take responsibility when things go wrong is not a service, it’s exploitation. #SayNoToBadService @jagograhakjago @consaff @ConsumerVoiceIn @PushpaGirimaji @suchetadalal

A peek behind the gates: Open prisons in Rajasthan challenge us to rethink crime and punishment. 🌿

India has 1,330 prisons, struggling with 131% occupancy, serving as a stark reminder of our overwhelmed system. Yet, open prisons might present a different possibility.

Did you know? There are only 88 open prisons across 17 states, and nearly half of them (41) are in Rajasthan. These spaces move away from iron bars and walls, focusing instead on trust, work, and reintegration.

In collaboration with 101Reporters, Vidhi captures the lived experiences of people within these systems to shape public discourse and spark reform.

Should more states adopt open prisons?
