Welcome to Malhar '08!

The first time you take the trip to St. Xavier?s to attend Malhar, you would probably just be following road directions you may have heard of to get here. The second time around, you?d perhaps notice the two sugarcane juice stalls that line the footpath outside. The third time you walk this way, your attention may waver towards the cobbler?s booth that seems to be open all through the day. By the fourth and fifth time, the cobbler has become a familiar face, and you may even stop for a glass of ganna. The street has been etched into your mind, a sentient pulse, more than just tar and concrete.

We believe that every street speaks a story. A legacy of legends is embossed in its layers, strata upon strata of new ends and beginnings. From Arthur Conan Doyle?s Baker Street, which is now the world?s most famous address, to Mumbai?s cosmopolitan shopping hub at Linking Road, we?re certain that every lane and alleyway hides a saga. Streets are not just there to pass through, they are a means to revolutionise, create and revive.

Join in and celebrate the thirtieth year of Malhar as we pave the way with our theme for this year ? Street Spirit. There?s no turning back now!
