NITW Strives to Improvise – In Its Own Way!

So with the new hostel in place and another one coming up in due course of time, the authorities really seemed to be concerned about its maintenance. And they did take up some steps – yet life isn't actually comfortable...

I wonder how many homes have Jaguar taps, lets alone hostels. Yet, we have 'em – Jaguar taps each costing a grand, maybe even more. But the bottom line still remains the same – who's bothered about the quality of the tap when you have no water coming through them. It seemed that watre was coming 24 by 7 for a few days. And ironically, water stopped coming the next morning after these “exquisite” fittings were installed. Yet another case of “so near, yet so far”.

And everyday, we have guys coming in with brooms, vacuum cleaners et all knocking on our doors, asking if we want our rooms to be cleaned. I still remember having a tough time trying to get the room cleaned in 7th block. So this definitely is an improvement. However, I really find no need for it – most of the students, since it's a single room, keep their room clean by themselves. But it'll help those who are really too lazy to even sweep their own room.

Even then, these authorities who are so concerned about the maintenance of the rooms in which we live, turn a blind eye towards the quality of food we are supposed to eat. I say “supposed to eat” coz many don't eat in the food court, including me.


So all-in-all, I feel they're trying to provide accomodation to mechanised robots of sorts, who need no water and food to survive – just a well-maintained to room. And unfortunately, we ended up in that place...
