#Jashn 3— Asal Hustle
If style maketh the man, the streets maketh the city. They are the lifeblood of a city, determining its character and perception. And so, you have the sedation of Chandigarh's broad, genteel avenues; and the thrumming colour of Varanasi's crowded, variegated streets. New York has its 'every man for himself' mean streets, while Paris is famous for its streetwise cafes and unhurried pace of life.

Mumbai's Streets are its life. It is where the city shops and eats, works and wastes, and as is true, lives and dies as well. This edition of Jashn-e-Dastaan-e-Mumbai celebrates the varied streets of the metropolis and their unique culture, from the Vada Pao to Fashion Street, from forgotten street furniture to vivid street signs shouting new wares.

The ASM's Mumbai Research Centre was founded by Dr. Aroon Tikekar in 2009 to rigorously research these varied aspects of urban life. Since 2020, the MRC has organised the Jashn-e-Dastaan-e-Mumbai annually to bring together academics and laypersons, entertainers, and entrepreneurs to share knowledge and to raise funds for research. We aim to raise enough revenue to fund the research and outreach programs of the MRC through the year.

Asal Hustle is a unique panel discussion on the urban ecology of Mumbai. Moderated by Kartik Chandramouli, senior editor at Mongabay, a conservation and environment news and features service. The discussion will revolve around how wildlife, birds, trees, plants etc are adapting and changing to survive in the city. The panelists include eco-journalist Ranjeet Jadhav from Midday; Sejal Mehta, author of "Superpowers On The Shore", a book about marine life in Mumbai; Ishika Ramakrishna, a doctoral fellow and researcher; and finally Adv. Pawan Sharma who heads RAWW, an urban wildlife rescue outfit.
