From the Editor....

Yay!

E-catalyst has been on the net space (and hopefully on your mind space) for a year now!

E-catalyst has been successful as a forum for all LSS, ALSS grads and CCS interns to express themselves. And phew! What a year its been- frantic, frenzied yet fruitful. This anniversary issue brings to you more food for thought and soul curry. We have a special write up by actor, rugby player and activist Rahul Bose for all our readers and patrons.

I would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to Mana and Joshyji. A big THANK YOU to all our readers and contributors. And yes! the race for being our "Catalyst"(our most active contributor) is still on, so email us your contributions NOW! Believe me, one young blood is capable of changing black ink, so keep up the zest and make E-catalyst a roaring success for many years to come. Still skeptical? In that case here is an apt afterthought of Margaret Mead- "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.

In Liberty,
