Gigaaaa Messssss

The only thing which is right about this Himalayan blunder is the name given to it by students- Giga Mess. Now i dont need to tell you guys that Giga is a really big thing.
So you get the order of magnitude of the blunder.

Now for the uninitiated Himalaya is the new common mess that has come up in the campus for men's hostels.It is a three storey giant with lavish space for parking cycles and everything.It is close to 300 metres away from my room and you know what my weekend breakfast is gonna be.

Not having breakfast is beyond the problem.What i dont understand is the problem this new mess is going to solve.If it is the lack of hygiene in mess then we will have to wait and see.But this is a problem which can be solved in hostel messes.Then again quality of food can also be solved right here in the hostel and if reduced cost is the answer well let me tell you this thing is actually costlier.Atleast that's what the menu thingy shown by mess sec had to say.

Now for the problems created by this new mess.

Gargantuan queues for both breakfast and lunch requiring getting up early and going.
Finding your cycle among a group of a thousand cycles and i am not even talking of the agony experienced when you find it under fifteen other cycles.Then there is the pain involved in walking the distance on weekends and at night to have food.

I just don't know how the student secretaries and the senate agreed to wasting such a lot of money on such a wasteful venture.

Maybe next years batch will just take it in their stride as they start at Himalaya and will never experience the mess in hostel concept.

The only people who might be happy at this move are the Music enthu guys in the hostel who don't have to go Sac to practice as the hostel dining hall will be converted into a music room.

i agree. but i don't think anyone will be 'happy'. just that the music room coming is a consolation.

and i think it'll come up at that place where the mess workers are staying, not the dining hall itself. that's what i heard.

know when it's gonna start? and what about our smart cards and all?

Hmm i said only people who 'might' be happy are music enthu guys.
If its the other room then what about dining hall?
