SASTRA reopened to a new academic year on July 2nd. There were loads of pleasant changes in store for us when we arrived back to college. The canteen has been completely renovated. It’s looking much more spacious than what it was before. A ban on plastics has been enforced in the canteen thanks to EcoBrigade but tea is still available in disposable plastic cups. Vitreous tiles have replaced the old, murky cement flooring. The prices as of now remain the same. There were rumours that the canteen will be centrally air-conditioned but there has been no confirmed news so far though A.C. ducts have been provided. Coming to the girls’ hostel, the old hostel mess is no more:(. It’s been converted to a new Gym with lots of new equipment and the old Gym is now a Common room. Pentagon has been repainted. The place between the new hostel and pentagon (famous for water stagnation) has been cemented and stone benches have been put up. Some snacks stalls, a juice shop and a fruit shop are going to come up in the area. A volleyball court has been constructed opposite to this. The MCA block is being renovated to accommodate several new stores that are coming up thanks to Vaidhi sir’s Open elective students. Placements have begun with Ashok Leyland conducting tests yesterday. Blogs are now blocked and I’m now using ‘Quota’ time and posting.
Will be back with more updates :)
