4) Friends: Join some social group. Here in Singapore, I joined Gujarati club. So you can join some club. If you like reading, you can join for some Library.
5)Money: This is real important factor. Since you are out to world, you will meet much kind of people, some are kanjoos, and some are spend thrift. Etc.But dont Forget your limit. Plan your spending properly. Before giving money to friends; just decide which one do u like most, money or friend. I am telling you outOf my personal experience. So, try and see that you have alternative, when someone asks you for money help.

Thats a big list friend, so enjoy your stay and explorer the life

In Singapore, I Cook. If you have fridge, you can bring in frozen food and ready chapatti. In case your schedule is hectic, you can cut the vegetables in Night and just fry in morning. Also chapatti you can just prepare for a week in advance and keep in fridge.
3)Cleaning: Dont ignore this. Its boring at times, but its important since we have to live in the same place, so keep it good. Get some good bai(Check with landlord itself, probably opt for the same bai option) for cleaning utensils, sweeping, moping and cloths. If you do not trust, please Dont hand it over room key. Call him/her at your timings.
4)Contacts: Try and expand your horizon. Since you are away from home, you will feel lonely, but try and keep your self busy. I joined dance class
As well as violin class in Pune. Search net and you can get all the information. Also the desires which you were not able to fulfiil , due to home Constraint can be fulfilled easily. So, please enjoy ur life at fullest and do everything which youalways wanted to do in life. This is the only chance you
Have, but be in limit. Never cross your limit. Please stay away from friends, who want to bring girl friends to your place

HI Guys,
I am living alone for last 5 years.I was in Chennai for Masters and then 2 years in Bangalore,1 year in Pune andNow in Singapore, just came before 2 months. Following are the points, one should keep in mind.
1)Accommodation :First things is find a good house , near to your company( in case no vehicle) and if you are okay,You can buy vehicle. Check for electric and water supply connection. Please cross check if owner has cleared all earlier.Due. This is really important. Also check for parking availability. Please be good with other building people and dont keep High volume vedio or TV. It disturbs everyone. See that your landlord is fine and you pay your rent, deposit on time and Maintain healthy relations with them. Since they are localities, they can be very much helpful when Needed
2)Food: Very important. If you have kitchen and know cooking, well and good. Check for the near super market where you Can get easily most of the stuffs. Please keep enough packets of meggi and other easy to cook stuff. Find some suitable aunty, who can
Come and cook food for you .Else best option is teffin as well. I use to cook in Bangalore, but in Pune I opted for teffin.
