Sabha

Change isn't given. It's assembled.

Arjun didn't care about the potholes on his street or the overflowing garbage bins. He was perfectly happy in his own world. But when a simple walk to the corner store becomes a frustrating obstacle course, he's forced to confront the civic neglect he's been ignoring.

Prompted by his sister, Aarti, he reluctantly attends a Sabha—a Citizens' Assembly—a meeting of regular people looking to solve their neighborhood's problems. What starts as a simple complaint soon spirals into a journey of empathy, community, and the surprising discovery that even one small voice, when joined with others, can help change a street.

Sabha is a short, slice-of-life narrative adventure about finding your voice and the power of showing up.
