Christmas preparation is in full swing, on campus. A beautifully decked-up Christmas tree sits right outside the main mess and decorations adorn parts of the campus.
Also in order for Christmas are a play and Christmas carols. The IPM Drama Club has been working hard, for almost a month now, on a Christmas-themed play- it features Wonderland in all its glory- with elves, Noddy and Santa Claus! Dances and dialogues are being painstakingly gone over, multiple times.
Props and costumes are being arranged to make everything feel magical.
Meanwhile, the Music Club has been planning to get everyone to learn and practice Christmas Carols in under a week.

A Special Christmas dinner has been arranged for, for the night of 24th December. Of course, there shall also be cake!
The call for presents, as part of the Secret Santa game, has been sent out; the deadline to ‘submit’ your gifts to the representatives is end of day, 23rd December.
i-Help has been planning to hold a Christmas Celebration for the kids of the schools that we are engaged in teaching.

In other news, the 2013 Batch went on a ‘Happy Trip’, on the 18th of December, as part of their course on Positive Psychology.
The 2014 Batch, meanwhile, is busy with exams till the 23rd, post which a large number of them are heading to Mumbai, to participate in IIT-Bombay’s Cultural Fest, Mood-Indigo.

I intend to give my secret ‘santee’ some food for Christmas, just like last time, when my gift to both (we had a separate ‘girls only’ Secret Santa too!) my ‘santees’ was a buffet lunch at Sayaji, with me for company, of course!
