Based on a news piece, Kislay had reimagined a fictional story of how a woman chances upon a security guard on a rainy day - who keeps his house full of bottles carrying seeds of plants. She learns from him how he is going about repopulating barren areas of cities with greenery so that no one faces the dearth of trees. The story was told while the speakers were seated beneath a huge tree like backdrop created for the session. The event was curated by
