Next went to Veeranam.....this is a classroom where classes don't usually take place and where Glakers hang out and do assignments and stuff...was informed that few of them even sleep there and lot of them seemed to have spent countless nights there doing assignments and projects...best part..the room is air conditioned(chennai humidity is just brilliant!) and the seats are comfy enough to spend hours...the place also has two carrom boards...

Next was the gym...seemed pretty decent with weights strewn around all over...not very hi fi but guess it would serve the purpose...

Dint get a chance to visit the audi...went around with a senior looking at a few houses..spoke to a few and the general feel is that for a decent 2 bedroom house one might have to shell out anywhere between 10 - 15k monthly apart from electricity and maintainance and also need to provide an advance which can be between 5 months to 10 months of rent...
