Prices hiked!

The prices in the canteen have been hiked. Samosa and Puff now cost Rs. 6 each. Gold cup is also costing the same. The latest additions to the menu have been the Birthday cakes (Accepted, they are looking awesome and are yummy too!) and Chocolate Mousse. Except French fries, Gobi 65, Paneer 65 and some more evening snacks, the price of all the others has gone up by atleast Rs. 5. Cheese Pav Bhaji now costs Rs. 35 imagine!

Strike!!

On Friday most of the inmates of SV girl’s hostel went on a strike and boycotted the mess…so strictly it was no breakfast, lunch, dinner, tea or snacks for that matter (thank goodness that breakfast and lunch in the canteen isn’t too hard on the pockets ).
But it didn’t last long, by roll call it was decided that it would be better to try and prove to the authorities the reason (insects!!!....in the food, well cooked!) why we were boycotting rather than continue with the strike and waste all the food, also many didn’t know that such a thing was even going on and quite a few didn’t care. Hopefully there won’t be a next time when we’ll loose our appetite because we see roasted flies or floating insects.

NEWS ... VERY HOT !!!

Many things have happened in the past few days!!!

• The clubs (hindi as well as eng) have started in a grand way this time. The Dean of PnD gave the inaugural address!!!


• The anti-ragging measures have been tightened ... 11 second year boys were found guilty of ragging a few of their juniors and have been suspended from their respective hostels!


• The canteen has increased the prices of almost all items (excluding the lime juice!). The canteen authorities claim that the price hike in almost all the raw materials (like apple and other fruits) is the reason. This however has not cooled down the enthusiasm of any one and the canteen is as crowed as ever!!!


• The first year population has about 40% AP junta.


• The associations of various department are in the process of electing (appointing) their executive body.


• The new hostel (mega) has a few troubles like no network for cell phones, the mess facilities being inadequate.


• Orkut has been 'web-sensed'!!! (We always find a way through it though!!!)
