MALHAR 2018
A TIME TURNER
Introducing to you, Malhar 2018
“People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but

actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it’s more like a
big ball of wibbly wobbly, timey wimey stuff.”
- Doctor Who
Malhar has been host to a myriad selection of themes spanning

across it’s lifetime of 39 years. As we enter our 40th year, we wish to
incorporate the most interesting elements of our past, integrate them with
the present, and propel ourselves towards a more innovative future. We
present to you - Malhar 2018: A Time Turner.
Malhar aims to be dynamic, ever evolving to improve and go beyond the

normal conventions of youth festivals. We wish to be torch bearers in the
fields of social involvement, contemporary events, and especially through
our segment of ‘Confluence’, which is a meeting point of great minds
and even greater ideas. This amalgamation of ideas, visions and culture
transcends the boundaries of time, transforming Malhar into a timeless
phenomenon.
To be able to transcend time, and thrive over the past years is one of
the unique qualities of this student festival and we, at Malhar 2018, wish
to further this culture, this legacy, this work spirit. We, the Organizing
Committee, hereby invite colleges from across the country to help us
make this Malhar a true milestone. With improved events, engaging
workshops, interesting pre-events, and a promising experience, this year
we wish to extend the ‘Malhar feeling’ to each and every participant
member. We urge the participants to refer to the ‘Rules and Regulations’
for all further details.
As St. Xavier’s College (Autonomous), Mumbai is on the brink of its

sesquicentennial celebrations, Malhar turns 40. Thus, Malhar 2018: A Time
Turner promises to be an ode to the past, a breath in the present and a
vision for the years to come.

FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK
Hello Reader(s),
Malhar 2018 has chosen ‘A TIME TURNER’ as its theme in order to:
• Reflect the 150-years milestone that St. Xavier’s College (Autonomous),

Mumbai is approaching.
• Gaze into the future and mull over goals that have to be made attainable
and then achieved.
• Challenge the Participants, Audience and Organizers to reach their full
potential by being innovative and creative.
Keeping these three goals in mind, Malhar 2018 brings to you unique
methods to improve upon pre-existing structures and new ways of
fostering camaraderie among students of different colleges and calibres. To
do so, it has created a whole clutch of novel events, challenging games and
perplexing situations for the wholesome enjoyment of the 3-day fest.
Malhar has always been influenced by the Jesuit philosophy of holistic

development of all its stakeholders - including those at the fringe of society.
Multiple social outreach activities and an inclusive approach towards the
workforce, participants and audience members ensures that Malhar reaches
out to as many people as possible.
Through the 2018 edition of Malhar, we hope to encourage and boost talent,
while developing an inclusive attitude, an inventive outlook and an amiable
atmosphere. Malhar 2018 dares us to venture beyond our boundaries and to
make our lives fun-filled as well as fulfilling.

EVENTS
ADMINISTRATION
“I never wish to be easily defined. I’d rather float over other

people’s minds as something strictly fluid and non-perceivable;
more like a transparent, paradoxically iridescent creature rather
than an actual person.“
- Franz Kafka
The Administration department forms the base on which the
entire festival grows. In its absence, nothing works as well
as anyone might like. We skirt the background ensuring
everything goes as per the plan. Right from inviting colleges, to
handling online and offline registrations, and from catering to the
needs of all our participants to compiling the scores of each event,
and a lot in between, Admin takes care of a lot of the tough stuff.
Not front and centre, yet not easily replaced, we play a Malhar
sized role in keeping the wheels of the fest well oiled and turning.
