The Loyolite serves the purpose of a canvas to all those who proudly wear the maroon crest on their chests and are led by the spirit of Magis as their guide. In today’s world where creativity and imagination are being relentlessly hijacked by the internet and other social networking sites, the Loyolite is a brave challenge to this onslaught. This magazine is a living proof that the candle of creativity, honed and nurtured in great institutions, is not even close to being extinguished by the internet and its minions. It is said that no two snowflakes are alike, the talent present here on this sprawling campus too is equally diverse. This magazine, which is a culmination of all those talents, is an epitome of the enthusiasm and the effort of the students in expressing their talents on paper. In this magazine creativity is not language-biased. Articles that leave readers on the edge of their seats or in the deepest of thoughts are found in regional languages as well. This edition of the Loyolite intends to give the reader a deeper insight into the plethora of talents the students of Loyola possess This year, the greatest challenge for the Editorial Board was to choose the best two articles from each class. Though each article redefined creativity and imagination, just two could be chosen to keep to the limited pages alotted. With the correct recepies and timely guidance of Father Varghese Anikuzhy and our dear teachers we have laid the fare before you. It was a pleasure and great experience stirring the melting pot of creative ideas... one may taste the delightful recipes and savour the subtleties or look for what is amiss. We leave it to you how you partake in the feast. All are welcome to this great melange of budding ideas. Student Editors THE LOYOLITE 2012 Annual Report 2012 Distinguished Chief Guest Hon.

Most parents want their children to be better than all others - in studies, appearance and achievements The second reason is that achievement in itself is (and they honestly believe that this is a legitimate worthless and even harmful if it is not built on a strong desire). But some parents seem to think that any value system. I don’t have to elaborate on this. You kind of discomfort or hardship will make their children just ask yourselves why some successful young men less successful.
