Cheer and boo impromptu performers

If you are an actor trapped in a marketing executive's body, or a HR executive who jots down poetry while the rest take a ciggie break, you should be at Prithvi Cafu00e9 this evening. Writing group Caferati's Open Mic night is a novel way of living out your dreams

If you are an actor trapped in a marketing executive's body, or a HR executive who jots down poetry while the rest take a ciggie break, you should be at Prithvi Cafu00e9 this evening. Writing group Caferati's Open Mic night is a novel way of living out your dreams. "Anyone can walk in and perform a creative work. Some read out poems, others just sing. It cuts through the language barrier as well we have people performing in English, Marathi and Hindi," says organiser Peter Griffin. There are 25 slots available, and each participant is allowed to speak for 2 minutes, with a gong telling you your time is up.

While it's an opportunity to meet like-minded people in the city, be ready to walk away with a grin if you get booed down out by an audience that didn't dig your labour of love. "We encourage the crowd to boo and cheer; that's the only way new talent will surface. What you can expect is to see, hear is 10% excellent stuff, 10% putrid stuff and the rest of it in-between," says a candid Griffin.

At: 7 pm, Prithvi Cafu00e9, first floor.
