CANOPY

The MCA block has been renovated. It has now given way to Canopy – a venture carried out by Vaidhi sir’s First Batch of Open Elective Students. As the fourth course in a series of 4 courses offered by Vaidhi sir, the students were asked to open an enterprise at SASTRA. Canopy has a food court with ample covered places to sit. The food court has counters of Chat Corner, Creamy ‘n’ Creamy, Café Coffee Day, Sugarcane Juice and Busy Bajji Café. The chat corner is amazing and is offering a large variety of delicious Paratha’s, apart from the usual chat items. Any kind of chat is available. The sodas priced at Rs.10 are the most sold considering SASTRA’s climate. The softies at Cream ‘n’ Creamy are a must have. Their Ice Cream cake too has turned out to be quite popular during Birthday Parties. The coffee at Café Coffee Day however did not evoke the same kind of response as most of the people felt the quantity, quality and price were mismatched. The Sugarcane Juice stall is something different. The juice is supplied without ice but is served cold and it’s extremely fresh too. A lot of flavours are available the hit one being the Chat Sugarcane juice. Gurunath’s a major name in general supplies and stuff has set shop. We can now proudly call Gurunath’s or Guru as people have started calling it, our University Store. It has anything and everything a student can ask for. Apart from these, Canopy has also started a Fruit Juice stall at the girls’ hostel in the Cemented area between New Hostel and Pentagon. The juice stall sells almost 20 varieties of juices apart from fresh fruits, vegetables, spices, rice, bajjis, noodles, Gobi Manchurian, chips, Murukku and other sweets and savouries. A laundry service was also launched yesterday at both the hostels which claims to return clothes in a really short time. Special care option can be chosen if there are some clothes which require careful washing or ironing. All in all, thanks to Canopy a lot of changes have happened at college. For the good :)
