A fiction-themed open-mic event in SoBo aims to inspire the wordsmith in you
Naveen Kaushik
If you consider yourself decent at wordplay and love telling a good story, then the second edition of Mash Up Open Mic this weekend is meant for you. Khushboo Balwani Rawal and Hiral Malde Shah have organised the imitative because they were driven by their passion for wordplay and a desire to do something more for the community of writers and readers in the city.

The evening will begin with a micro-fiction workshop, followed by the mash-up open mic, where a few lines from classic tales or poems or songs will be handed out to the audience members, who will then be given 15 minutes to come up with their own continuation of it. The only condition — it has to be original. The winner gets a cash prize. Improv comedy group Mischief in Action, with Urmin Vijayakar, Dhruv Lohumi, Gavin Methalaka and Naveen Kaushik, will provide the perfect end to the evening.
Dhruv Lohumi
On August 2, 5.30 pm onwards
At 20 Downtown, second floor, Eros Theatre Building, Churchgate.
