Malhar 2011: The LabyrinthYoure surrounded by walls. Cold, stone walls. Youre walking endlessly. Endlessly down serpentinecorridors that may lead you to dead ends. Forks in the path that lays ahead. Options. So manyoptions. Left, right, straight on. All, none, just one. Your heart is thumping, your mind is racing, adrenalinecoursing through your veins. You walk faster. Jog. Start running. Just then, you see a faint light in thedistance. You pick up pace, run faster, hoping your mind isnt playing tricks on you.And then you find that it isnt.Youre outside the maze. You have won. Youre victorious.Youve conquered the previously unconquered, and emerged into the light.

We know what that feeling can be like. We know youre itching to feel it. And were giving you thechance for just that.

Welcome to Ma lhar 2011: The Labyrinth.

Featuring never-been-done-before events, The Labyrinth presents new challenges and novel ideas.With the inspiring and illuminating talks to be organised by Conclave, The Labyrinth offers you theopportunity to step out of your comfort zone and think beyond what you already know. Hide awayfrom the mundanity of daily life and to give into the maze of the roads less traveled. Enter thelabyrinthine Gothic structure of St. Xaviers College as it presents:

ConclaveNot all sparks start a fire, but you never know whichone might.Some people say an idea is the most resilient

parasite, some say it is a fleeting thought. Eitherway, it could lead to a revolution, help break theshackles of misconceptions, or be buried in thesub-conscious. It is time for the youth to take theirplace on the global front. Come not just to voiceyour opinion but to form one as well. The Conclave,2011 offers you a pla tform to stand up, speak upand make a difference.

Aapki Seva MeinCorruption-based ForumCorruption, Bureaucracy, Nepotism Words usually associated with the government, right? Lets begin ourdiscussion where most others end. Lets explore how deeply corruption is rooted in the aam aadmi and the extentto which we are willing to go to get the job done. It is this attitude that causes us to knowingly or unknowinglyallow a million atrocities to be committed against the defenceless.Has corruption always been a part of our history? Or is it something we have learnt as a quick escape fromproblems and inconveniences? Can we tell the difference between an incentive and a bribe? Ultimately, are weheading towards a situation where corruption will be legitimate?

Town HallShania Twains song, Up up up, (we) can only go up from here could well have been written about Mumbai.Caught between the sea on one side and an acute housing shortage on the other, up is literally the only waywe can go. And since Obama has proclaimed that India has arrived, there is no looking back for us. If we hopeto check the rise of the dragon, nothing less than 9% growth will do. Alas! Its not that simple. Development has leftmillions hungry, homeless, and dead.The stage is set for a town-hall, where we will bring you savants to discuss all views and also allow YOU to haveyour say in the most interactive session at The Conclave. Vibrant debates, varied opinions and dynamic thoughts;we have it all ... And more.

Culture and IdentityIdentity has always been mans prized possession. Yet he struggles to define it, often getting caught in a myriad ofideas and cultures. They say our culture defines our identity, but does it?Is our culture ingrained in the fabric of our personalities? Or are we men and women of our time?So am I an Indian? An Asian? Or a mere earthling in the grand scheme of things?

Be as original as possible. Your exhibit doesnt need to be an entirely new invention,but can incorporate previous developments into an original design. Just using conceptslike solar power, hydrogen fuel cells, etc. by themselves may turn out to be too generic.

You dont need a fully working model, but it must at least illustrate your planneddesign, serving demonstrative and partly functional purposes without having to blastoff into space on renewable power.

Make sure you are familiar with the intricacies of your design, and the scientificconcepts involved. You will have to be able to answer questions.

Please make your work space to the bare minimum. Also make your exhibit interesting and accessible to an audience who may not

remember more than what was taught to them at high school.

ETCThe Mormons are right, whodvethunk?

ETC is now the God of its own Planet 31. At first, Planet 31 wasinhabited by a wide assortment of people including some recentlymigrated dolphins, several colourful furry creatures, hipsters,a BeeGees loving pig and Shaktiman. Peace and prosperityprevailed on 31 and it was a hub of all sorts of inter-planetaryactivity. However, in the 31st year of the cyborg age, King OjasXXIII and the mysterious 9 Unknown Men discovered a terrible

secret. Planet 31 held the backdoor to the real universe! What theysaw beyond it, no one will ever know. Thus also the doors to 31closed. They contacted the Others from the outside Universe onlyin times of desperate need. Mostly to borrow money. The peace-loving God of 31, ETC, not knowing the secret of the universe,induced upon itself a deep and eternal sleep. King Ojas and the9 Unknown men in a moment of desperation jumped through thebackdoor and locked it from outside/inside(depending on yourphilosophical leanings). The war destroyed 31 beyond repair. ETC isnow stuck in a state of eternal dreaming. The King isstranded/freed(again upto you) in the real universe. All that remainson 31 now is a rundown doughnut place.

Anyway, we organize events and fillers on the days of Malhar.

The Online RagaFor the people who have more than a slight passing interest in Malhar, the Online Raga is a delightfulprecedent to the main festival. Articles range from workforce-centric to the strangest, most random thingsone could imagine. We like to believe that we have a little something for everybody, so do log on sometime.

Malhar BulletinThe Malhar Bulletin is a service manned by both Raga and Computers on LCD screens set up at strategiclocations across the campus. It acquaints the spectator with details of ongoing events, results, generalannouncements, yada yada yada. Now people can watch their favourite events withoutgetting trampled on.

RagaRaga is Raga is Raga. The creative writing departmentof Malhar, Raga features humorous slants on seriousmatters, with an emphasis on the idiosyncrasies ofthought and style of its individual writers.

Were often despised for our #GrammarNazi ways,and can be spotted turning up our noses in disdain attypographical errors. We tend to assault Malhar attend-

ees with copies of our wondrous publication, and at-tempt to establish our supremacy over the virtual worldthrough The Online Raga.

Keep your eyes peeled for the LCD screens aroundcampus on Malhar, for Raga brings to you Malhar Bul-letin, live updates of the goings-on of the mammoth thatis the festival.

Were geeky, and unabashedly so. Were crazy, andproudly so. Read the Raga, and youd think so too.
