The idea is give people a space to express themselves creatively and while Bhansali has a keen interest in fostering a community of like-minded and artistic people through her restaurant, she says curating an event is not her forte. For this, she has roped in Uncover, an artists' community that regularly organises open-mics and other similar events. It is they who came up with the theme for Yin & Yang — An evening of contrasts, which will urge participants to explore contrasting concepts through any form of art.

And like her, many other restaurateurs are slowly beginning to offer their establishment for community-driven projects, whether its for events or collaborations. Elaborating on the phenomenon, she tells us, "As the restaurant industry evolves in India, it's becoming clearer to most that people today crave more than just food. It's also about the ambience, the vibe and the atmosphere. Plus, by doing events that are in line with your restaurant's ethos, you're opening up a channel to identify more people from your target group. Those attending or participating in this open-mic will naturally be people who are interested in wellness and art, and so are we."
