aT LEISURE Being together
What’s to love: The staircase is the hotspot of the college as boys can take a sneak peek at girls walking around.
“Plus we have the advantage of a cool breeze here,” says D.Anish.
On any given day, the chat begins with playing jokes on somebody in the group.
“Can there be a fun-free college life,” questions S. Mohammed and adds “hence we enjoy life on the premises besides preparing ourselves for facing life outside the premises.”
“Fun and frolic flows in abundance here,” chips in R.M. Meyappan.
As the campus is small and the number of students few, they maintain a good rapport. “There is no discrimination between the juniors or seniors, as we love to be together,” says R. Silambarasan.
As catering and hotel management students, it warrants us to spend more time together especially during training sessions in different hotels in neighbouring districts, points out H. Syed Yasar Arafat.
Apart from the usual gossip on matrimonial proposals that are either accepted or rejected, the students enjoy talking about neat looking boys and girls whom they see while on their way to college, shares M.S. Chetan Kumar.
Talking politics is another great pastime. They try to gauge the good and the bad in every politician and enjoy the wordy duels between students who have a soft corner for DMK and DMDK. While discussing the issues of the celluloid world, heroines dominate chat sessions.
“As fans of a particular hero, we do not stick to our respective heroes alone but also appreciate performances of new comers,” says N. Veeramani.
“Politics or cinema, what starts as a general conversation often leads to an argument and sometimes even snowballs into a wordy duel. But at the end of it all, the evenings pass off fast, smoothly and enjoyably,” says S.Mohan Raj.
The other thing students enjoy talking or planning is “a grand celebration for their friends’ birthdays”. Hand written invites are circulated and if anybody fails to turn up, they have to part with fine.
“On the whole, we love our colleges as it is strict when necessary and allows us the freedom to enjoy as well,” wows S. Pritish Kumar.
What’s not to: The college bans the use of mobile phones and it has little space for sport-lovers, who are often forced to practice outside the college premises.
Alternatives: Classrooms are the next best hot spot. And there are many more favourite spots just outside the college premises.
