Night Walks began in 2017 as a simple way to help neighbours connect after work, when busy schedules made daytime gatherings difficult. Every Tuesday evening, participants explored the streets of Malleswaram together, often ending the walk with lassi or ice cream. Even the smallest gatherings often led to deeper conversations and lasting relationships, as participants had the opportunity to spend unhurried time with one another. The walks also encouraged residents to experience their locality at night, understand issues of safety and walkability—particularly for women and children—and engage more closely with the everyday realities of their neighbourhood. These conversations eventually contributed to the Belaku Beku campaign for better street lighting.
