Long Ago there was Christ but he still lives in the heart of millions and so there is waiting for

Christmas. But the Christmas preparation begins at AIHM with THE CAKE MIXING

CEREMONY.

CAKE AND BAKES do link us to the beautiful cozy belonging to a World where sharing is the

priority. Yes, it was almost a month to celebrate Christ's Birth and AIHM was again ready with the raisins, brandy, rum and

ingredients that make the cake taste 'CHRISTMAS'.

The Ground Floor Restaurant once again became a sociable platform for

Christmas fervor. A large gathering of Management, Faculty and Students went

crazy with mixing the cake for its eventful happening after sometime. The

Traditional Chef Caps, Coats, Gloves were the main attractions amidst the

beautiful Christmas decorations where a student Santa jingled his bell to greet

the members.

Then amidst music the rum and brandy, whiskey and wine went out of its captivity

to sink deep into the heart of the resins, cinnamon, clove, cashew, black currant

and walnut and other elaborate ingredients in order to disperse its flavor to make

what we all eagerly await for as CHRISTMAS DELICACY-THE CHRISTMAS

CAKE.

THUS WENT -'THE TRADITIONAL METHOD TO SPEAD CAMARIDIE AND GOOD-WILL AT AIHM.'

CAKE MIXING CEREMONY

The extravaganza of life is the spicy menu clicked at the table with supplements

of chilly, flavored and colored food, the entertaining music to suit the mood. All

each and every one of us, why not use it to gain knowledge!”

nuisance. Mr Ganesh told the audience that the correct use of mobile lies in gaining knowledge, getting aware of the current

happenings around the globe and also updating oneself with current news. He even identified the areas where the mobile phone

becomes a nuisance and creates havoc in the life of people. He pointed towards the addiction of mobile and its wasteful aspect of
