What's wrong?

The day since I have joined the company, i mean i have started a so called corporate life.. i am getting as bored as I have never been.
I miss the bunking classes (though i bunked very less of them), building castles in air (khayali pulao), driving my scooty, screaming at home about all the wrongs that are happening and how I could change it given a chance :P
Now when I have the chance, I don't know what am I doing?
The problem is not with the office, the project I am in is one of the most coveted one in my company, and even I found the technology very interesting. also there is no problem of time I think I now have more time than what I had in college... We have flexible timings and access to almost all of what one generally needs.. (Gmail, fb, google; these are normally blocked in other companies) So there is almost no problem on the professional and technical part of the life..
So what is going wrong? I think it is the social life, the personal part that is getting screwed up.. I feel lonely, unenthusiastic, wasted, in short terrible!
Any suggestions what I could do to improve my life as well as living..

Note: don't suggest make a boyfriend!

Flashing N900 Indian Version, for Skype support

If you are using an N900 you've bought anywhere in India then odds are that you are quite disgusted of your purchase. By the set bought in India I mean a set bought after N900 was officially launched in India and you purchased a set with bill! not a grey phone.. Like I did :(
I was not aware of this complete thing, later when I knew I could not stand this and hence I gave back the phone to the shopkeeper nd asked for a fresh one, with bill. And though the phone was brand new the experience was very bad. And I was smitten when I found that there was no skype, (for those not aware, skype integration is the expertise of maemo). Also there was a lot of stuttering when I played songs in the media player. To make things worse, there wasn't any call summary displayed when I made a call or used internet. Those who use an airtel sim and live in Rajasthan or places where *121# etc. only work and there is no support for listening to your balance can probably understand my situation very well!
So, finally 3 days back I decided to flash my device with the global firmware of fremantle latest release. Believe me it is the best thing to do with your phone. If you are really considerate for your phone, then do it! To do it literally simple. You are just three simple steps away from this pleasant experience called N900!
  1. Get the flasher from here.
  2. Get the firmware binary here.
  3. Read this manual.
And trust me you are good to go. Nothing happens, everything your calls, your wifi, your gui and SKYPE works better than before. And you get those call summary as well!!!
                        So go ahead and flash your device!!!
                        Happy N900...

Cooking 'ratatouille' dishes, :P

WARNING: don't read further if expecting very tasty, book style, chefs' pride kind of recipe! Readers are also advised to try all this on their own risks! :P

After shifting to my PG - fooding facility or Hostel + Awesome residential facility, referred to as PH, whichever suits the boot, I have cooked food for myself for two reasons :
1. Feed my tummy,
2. Use the food raw material to prevent its wastage.!

The basic time and space tradeoffs have been related to the usual time, effort, material used in cooking a palatable dish.. Check out the recipe of my Kheere ki sabzi
