One avenue that college students have to express themselves culturally is through festivals. But a group of students from Jai Hind College started an initiative a couple of years ago that offers an alternative. It involves them associating with different venues across the city to host events based on music, poetry and other forms of art. And the latest installment for it is slated for early next week, at a performance space in Andheri.

But it's not that only students from their own college get to showcase talent on this platform, which is called Jai Hind Music Café. Youngsters from across educational institutions in the city have the same opportunity. This edition focuses on music and poetry, with four acoustic musicians and three poets on the line-up. They are Vishnu Jampa, Yash Warrier, Sanjana Devarajan and Ryan Lobo (music), and Sanjana Rao, Karthik Kaushik and Shobhit Narang (poetry), of whom only Lobo, Rao and Narang are from Jai Hind.
