Mess Rules
We at Azad have etiquette or a code of conduct in general. And mess manners are something which has been passed on from seniors to juniors every year for quite a long time. Irrespective of the batch, we proudly follow these rules while dining, in the mess or otherwise. We urge our new young friends to follow suit. Its not difficult. For example, when you want anything (boiled rice, raw rice, dal, water) which is out of your reach on the table, where you are dining, just say “water please” etcetera. And if you are getting up from the table to get a second helping or something, do say “excuse me” and tilt your chair to make it lean on the table edge. After you finish having your meal, say “see you” to your hall mates sitting adjacent to you. I guarantee, you will feel much better when you practice these minor conducts. And even today, you can find most of us still following the same etiquette which we urge you to do so.
Where to Complain about the infrastructure:
Most of the times, a lot of things are left in a pitiful state because we are not aware of the proper avenues to voice the associated shortcomings. If you find that the lightings in your wing corridor are missing or damaged, go and tell the mess manager immediately or lodge a complaint in the complaint register kept in the mess. The same applies for any of the civil works including broken or damaged furnishings in the bathrooms. If you have trouble with any of the electric stuff like your fan, you can always go to the electrical service center (ESC) located behind MMM hall ( use the narrow walkway between the Patel hall and the PAN loop entry). It is important that you keep your room and surroundings clean. In fact, make sure that your wing corridors are cleaned regularly and if you feel that there needs to be an improvement in that section, do drop in at the mess manager's office. It is your hall, and if you don’t take the initiative to keep it clean, nobody else will. After all, you have to stay and make your presence felt in this hall for the remaining 3(or 4) years of your KGP life.
