Food Street is not Food Streeting anymore.
When I joined here i would see a full street of shops opened and shops in some other places too. Inside 1.8k, outside 1k, behind 6th block and everywhere. We used to have a tiffin center too. Or atleast we used to have a street full of shops.
Now only Amul is opened, and Madras Coffee. Madras coffee is damn costly (my opinion) as just 2 puffs can cost 50 and just 10 fries in a plate costs 70.
Prices are for another rant session, but there is no shops opened to talk about the prices too.
I heard someone saying that the shops didn't renew some tender validity and that's why they are not opened. How many people would like to put a Shop inside our college? College can give a chance to them ryt? What are they doing?
Most importantly, the photocopy/stationary shop. It's one of the essential part, yet management decided to not to keep it in the food Street.
Do not jump at me saying we have a photocopy machine in professor quoters store, it's not even good and they don't have colour and everytime I try to do my work there it's always damn crowded. Atleast in fs they have 4 pcs, still I used to wait in the crowd, here they have only 1. That's fking impossible. The outsiders took an advantage of this and costing 20-30 rupees per page.
Everything is changed after the new director was appointed. It's not only to blame him though, as he has his reasons to remove Yumpies and Tiffin center.
We all agree the reasons of removal of the shops, but can't the college replace it?
The only shop which is healthy inside the college is Thirumala juice center. And now it's not there. 🤷
There is a useless Dominos, inside the college that too very long distance from my hostel. Eating in dominos is a celebration for me, and many students are like me. We don't do that in a weekly basis.
I wish director should take an action, atleast an immediate action on the stationary shop, as it's the biggest headache we, students face.
