Campus Updates March 2011

Hello Folks
Here are the Campus Updates

La Habitat College of Engineering: Yes, La Habitat in the morning hours looks like a College with a swarm of boys and girls living unauthorizedly despite strong opposition from members and legal notices from the Facility side. They are harmless but it is our endeavor not to make the place a student’s paradise. Neighbours of these students may please pass on the message to these students to find alternative accommodation as soon as possible before members meet to force them out. A police complaint was made, it is now known, and a police team had come for enquiry. If pursued further, they can be evicted forcibly under legal framework. Facility Team should identify brokers who roam around the premises with prospective clients and tell them not so bring such proposals in future. This will avoid unnecessary embarrassment to the owners who rent out to students.

Dhobi Ghat : Second floor garden facing flat of A2 is worth watching. If you can spot this balcony without deluge of wires hanging around with clothes scattered, you can win a trip to Hong Kong. There are so many balconies becoming replica of this at La Habitat. Kindly buy a clothes drying stand which looks better than wires tied around the balconies.

Otla Wash : If people believe they will become clean by cleaning up their balcony daily, they are mistaken. It only makes the common road wet and wastes a lot of water. So do it only once in 3 to 4 months. Instead use wet cloths to clean it.

Wet, Wet and Wetter: The domestic helps who comes to your house to wash your clothes are uneducated. They have no knowledge water conversation. However, you are in La Habitat because you are much bigger in status and academic sphere. But it is generally seen that these domestic helps are given free hand to put wet clothes on the kitchen side balcony in such a way that the water drips down to the dried clothes put below or on the passers by. For Gods sake, be different. Please ask them to squeeze water out of the clothes before putting it to dry.

Summer : Summer is here and many of you may have already given order for new ACs. Ensure you fit it in the space provided and water outlets to the pipe allocated for it. This will help maintain the shape of La Habitat that we are.

Fibre Broadband : BSNL is in. They have installed Fibre Last Mile Connectivity at La Habitat. In another week, the services will begin. Those who are interested, may apply. Ideally go for Rs 499 plan where you get 2 MB Bandwidth and 8 GB usage. This is enough. Reliance, which has installed it services, has gone back on its promise to give back the installation charges in 5 equal installments. This deduction, if not reflected in your bill, you should be contacting them to avail this. And do not expect something called service from Reliance. They are not known for it.

Vacation : The kids are now enjoying their vacation. Kindly make them aware not to uproot the plants. It is observed that parents stand as mute spectators as children use garden for cycling and other activities, which can harm the greenery. Also cricket is a common sport now played in the garden. Ensure that the glasses at balcony and windows are not broken by their long shots. Victims of such damages have all the right to get hold of the culprits and seek damages from the parents of these children. If you are such a parent to whom a complainant approaches, it is wise to settle with replacement of glass than a big quarell.

Sunday Parking: During holidays, a lot of guests arrive at La Habitat. Athithi Devo Bhav  is what we should say when they come. But don’t let their vehicles get in. When they call you for directions, first thing you should ensure is to tell them to park their vehicles outside. They are innocents who don’t know that they are not allowed to bring their vehicles inside. It is for members to make them aware. In the recent times there have been many problems of Guest parking inside. Imagine your guests picking up a quarrel with a member on whose parking they have parked their vehicles unknowingly. When then come, show them the garden and bring them along the greenery. You are certain to get appreciation from them. Also don’t let them inside the Club House, which is built exclusively for members. If you accompany them, there should be no issue subject to the fact they don’t have preference over waiting members.
