Have solved food and boredom issues now, and hence a lot more settled since my last post. Have discovered the miracle of ITC and MTR's ready-to-heat meals. I don't know why I didn't try them out, even though I knew of their existence, in Singapore or even in Kolkata. Will try out almost all items in due time, as well as move on to slightly more complex culinary territories, involving oil, spices, vegetables, chicken and all that jazz.
Got a broadband connection, which is not as fast as I thought broadband would be, but serves my purpose as well as downloading stuff is concerned. Will have my Tata Sky connection in a day or so. Bought a bean-bag yesterday. In essence, I am all set to cut down on the little socialising I had started after coming here.
--------
Now, I wrote that 4-5 days back, and saved on my desktop intending to complete the same day, but forgot. A lot more has happened since then.
Did expriment with cooking slightly complicated stuff. And did pretty well.
And my Airtel broadband has already developed issues.
And I got Tata Sky. IPL is fantastic time-pass, and many of the guys who are sitting doing nothing at home waiting for joining must be thanking it.
And I already mentioned the huge bean-bag, which is amazingly comfortable. A lazyboy will take some time to come in though - too expensive.
And bought 9 books from Blossom, at the total cost of what probably got me 2 books a year back in Singapore. If only I had waited to come to Bangalore to buy those books.
Having your own flat is too luxurious for someone who has been living in chicken-coops for a long long time. I have found no use for one of my rooms.
Though, I am impressed, as of now, by how clean my flat is. Much much cleaner than my room in college. My mom will be surprised.

I was about to say you could do with someone to live with, like a flatmate, but then I wasn't too sure.
Nobody can survive on a prolonged continuous diet of ready to eats...you'd need better solutions soon/
I'm going to sound like Phoenix now, but I'm happy to note the happy tone of your posts. Now that I'm working (internship yes, but it's real work, unlike the Oracle one in wonderful B'lore) I especially appreciate the fact that you're not complaining about work, which I seem to be doing with regularity. And I'm not alone - I find many a willing ear in return for lending mine to their work cribs.
Anyway, for better or for worse, this too shall pass.
[phoenix] Oh, you get too concerned! The Story of My Experiments with Food is written only on weekends. I have a (Punjabi) tiffin service for dinner on weeknights, and lunch (and sometimes breakfast) is taken care of at the office. And now that I have discovered I can cook really delicious chicken in a rice cooker, dependence on ready-to-eat meals will come down further.
[rf] Yeah, you do sound like Phoenix.
And you sound like The Man With No Name.
So much flack for concern. Damn, I should stop talking.
[phoenix] It's FLAK. And you call that flak!!
Alternative spellings, sir.
And yes I do.
err..only one question..how much did u buy the beanbag for?!...
