The Sweet Tale of Cuddles and Puddles


Once upon a time, long before the age of instant video calls and snapchat, there lived two sensations within the corridors of our college. These two friends shared an unbreakable bond, and their adventures together were the stuff of legends around campus. Every Malhar, our beloved Puddles has won our hearts with his endearing charm without defeat, but someone we may not know about is Puddles’ long lost companion: Cuddles! 

Puddles and Cuddles are the yin and yang in the phenomenon that is Malhar. If Puddles loves the rain, it is Cuddles who loves the storm that accompanies. When Puddles danced in the corner of a room, it was Cuddles who would coax him into taking up the center stage. And when it was time to take a step back, Puddles taught Cuddles how to relax, and the two would quietly take in the days of preparations before the fest. Every day was perfect until one day, the pair had to bid farewell. Cuddles had to go away and build the perfect storm elsewhere, leaving behind Puddles to uplift the Malhar Morale all on his own.

The distance between them was vast, but the two kept their friendship alive with the most memorable treat there is: Cardolates! It is a long standing tradition where people send each other kind words along with a chocolate to accompany the sweetness of this gesture with something that tastes sweet too! Cuddles and Puddles would communicate by sending each other cardolates every Malhar, and thus their friendship passed the test of time each year. 

But this year was destined to be extraordinary. Cardolates, the messenger of love and friendship, have reunited Cuddles with Puddles at Malhar! Their friendship graces the new Cardolate designs, and their story symbolises the bonds we have made amidst the eye of the storm this year. The designs for Cardolates this year have exceeded all expectations of creativity, and the heartwarming doodles are bound to make their receiver smile as much as the message inside them will. 

The joyous exchange of Cardolates showcase the true essence of Malhar—a celebration of friendships and the cherished memories created together. These delightful treats are a tangible reminder of the beautiful times that Malhar had gifted to all, fostering anticipation and excitement after long days of work.

And so, the age-old bond of Puddles and Cuddles reverberates through Malhar, weaving threads of friendship that connect everyone in the workforce. Together, they show us that even when life takes us on separate journeys, the truest friendships endure, bringing warmth and joy to those they touch. As the Cardolates spread love, laughter, and sweetness, they mark the enduring spirit of unity and camaraderie that Malhar stands for. So when the time comes, we hope you send a cardolate or two to your friends, your OGs and OCs, or anyone who has made the past few months a little better. And more so, we hope that the cards you receive serve as memorabilia that will make you look back on this time with memories as sweet as chocolates.
