The Common Rooms

There were separate common rooms for Ladies and Gents till very recently. A new "common" common room has been built near the libary. It was inaugrated only in 2002. Otherwise, the places to hang out are very very less in our campus. That's why I've considered our campus life as a very dull experience. I'll just breifly go through the other places.

The lounge : It's by the side of the main auditorium in the building. As I've mentioned before, there are some vending machines for coffee and light rereshments. We also generally tend to hang out during the lunch hours. It's a nice open place where there is a lot of breeze. We practice the dance routines for the festival season with some music be blared on by a tape recorder. This place also is the home for the "Atthappovu" competition etc. during Onam celbrations. The ground nearby is also the place for many fun activities like "Vadam Vali" etc.

The Garden : It's a picturesque location for taking photographs. The garden has a good lawn and a few bushes with bright colored flowers. There's a statue of Hippocrates in the right side of it. I just wish it was maintained better by the gardener employed for this purpose.

The Canteen : The food here might be bad, but it's certainly fun hanging out with friends here. Especially during the evenings when we get a lot of friends sharing jokes over tea and snacks. This is also the place where we take breaks from hours long of study at the library. The main problem the canteen faces is that the students usually eat more than they pay for.

The College Grounds :

There are two grounds as I've already told you. One is the official Medical College Cricket Ground. This is often occupied by district level matches or teams practicing soccer. The pitch is actually grass but they tend to lay a synthetic pitch for some of the matches. The outfield is not lush. There are very limited seating facilities for the specatators. The other one is located by the side of the main ground and is a little elevated. This is a much smaller ground without any pitches laid. This is where we spent countless evenings playing cricket. It was the most enjoyable time in my undergraduate life. We used to play tournaments between the different batches in the ground. When this place is occupied by a cricket match, we usually go down to the bigger ground and play there in corner.

Our Cricket ground is well known across the world. How??? Well, it has to be! It's got it's own web page. Would you believe it? There is a link to it at the cricket.org site!!! Long live, our Cricket Ground!

There is a clay tennis court and a basketball court in the campus as well. Both of these are mainly used for ragging purposes. The Basketball court is very close to the Ladies' Hostel.
