Sounds you do not hear...
... on the Guindy campus today
|
|
|
- Rhythmic roar of waves on Elliot's Beach lulling you to sleep at nights, now muffled due to the concrete jungle in between.
- The rattle of trains over the steel bridges across the Adyar River, as bridges have been converted to prestressed concrete girders and fully ballasted.
- The whistle of steam locomotives from the Saidapet Railway Station, now replaced by hooters of electric and diesel locomotives.
- The booming bell from the clock tower, now replaced by electric bells in the corridors.
- The yapping and howling of jackals at night.
- The rallying cry of "Parpu Masi Singa Masi Hoi, Hoi" during matches with other colleges.
- The thup-thup of boxing gloves during sparring and on punching bags while training for the Lalita Sastri inter-collegiate boxing tournament. (Courtesy: Alumni Association College of Engineering Guindy Newsletter).
