Utsav, MAHE’s most awaited fest was finally held after three long years. The enthusiasm and energy shown by everyone was truly astounding. While fests were being held online during the pandemic, the unbeatable thrill and adrenaline rush of being on stage or cheering your college on was missing. The pronouncement … Continue Reading
The Days Before Revels
I wake up to the sound of anklets ringing, echoing throughout the corridor. I look up at my desk to see my clock—it’s 5 am, much too early for any sane person to be awake! It knocked my socks off to see my friend practising her dance sequence when I … Continue Reading
MTTN Studios—Revels, An Alternative Universe
As the pandemic hovers again, it’s hard not to think of all the possible ways life could be different. Maybe an explosion could destroy the virus; perhaps the black hole sucks us all in and ends everything we know. Or perhaps we end up in an Alternate Universe, a little … Continue Reading
Pop Culture Over the Years

Manipal: A World Apart
As Manipal experiences its third day in Qainaat, we, at MTTN, could not help but wonder– what does make our world apart?
We went around, asking students (in an admittedly awkward manner) what they would change to make this world their own ‘world apart’. The answers we got are certainly … Continue Reading
