I woulk like to tell you never stay near a grave yard because it gives out negative energy.  I have my own personal experiences in this regard and I had to rely on religious books.  I never go to sleep without prayers and i believe that keeps the evil forces away.&lt;img src="http://blogs.livemint.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2921" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Very, very short take</title><link>http://blogs.livemint.com/blogs/still_single_in_the_city/archive/2008/10/08/very-very-short-take.aspx#2878</link><pubDate>Sun, 12 Oct 2008 14:52:24 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">69a35da2-a32a-4865-9f9a-b94bb9d2309f:2878</guid><dc:creator>sushmita bose</dc:creator><description>how I wish I could have afforded even a foothold in SRK Boulevard!!!! my visa thing has been sorted out: i was waiting for my residence visa, i had come here on a short-term one... have zeroed in on a studio apartment, but waiting for my bank account... here, nothing gets done till you have a bank account -- and a cheque book! rents here, by the way, are thrice of what you&amp;#39;d have paid in new york! i&amp;#39;m not joking... it&amp;#39;s CRAZY...&lt;img src="http://blogs.livemint.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2878" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Very, very short take</title><link>http://blogs.livemint.com/blogs/still_single_in_the_city/archive/2008/10/08/very-very-short-take.aspx#2865</link><pubDate>Sun, 12 Oct 2008 12:38:48 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">69a35da2-a32a-4865-9f9a-b94bb9d2309f:2865</guid><dc:creator>Ankit Sablok</dc:creator><description>I totally agree with you. It&amp;#39;s very difficult to manage when u r living on ur own, away from ur family. It is more difficult when u have migrated to a new city.  My father always tell me to b on ur own.  He is some times very strict to tech wash clothes and cook food. As i m very eager to go to the US, he thinks i will b in problem there.
   I didn&amp;#39;t get u about ur visa. Since ur working there u must b in a possession of a valid visa.
   It&amp;#39;s good u finally stop searching for a house there.  U must have heard abt the SRK boulevard,  may b u can shift there when it&amp;#39;ll come up over the years.

I had to do it for almost a month in NYC... Being expensive U wanna do it without a broker (thankfully there&amp;#39;s craigslist.org) &amp;amp; the hotel was really depressing... a strange smell coming from their lobby always - sorry company will not pay more than $150 a night.
