Finally, I left Bangalore permanently and reached home on Friday. I was not able to post in the last few days of my stay in Bangalore as I was busy buying the things that I have to carry to US and also I bought a Laptop that I want to keep at home so that my Sister and parents can use it. The state of internet connection in my town is worst and only today I was able to get connected through Laptop. Also we did some shopping for dresses in my hometown.
I have to order a laptop in US that can be delivered before we arrive in Bloomington. I need to do some research on that. We have finalized on Lenovo T61 and with a good configuration it will cost me $1450. On the loan front I will not able to avail an educational loan as the manager is skeptic that the total cost of $100,000 is too high and the loan amount $20000 he can provide is not sufficient. One of my childhood friends is suggesting that he will take a personal loan to the tune of INR 200,000 ($5,000) so that he can pay the EMI of INR 5,500 over a period of 4 years. I am glad that he is very interested to help me.
I will post more as I go on with my shopping and other arrangements.

Why the Lenovo T61? May I ask? I'm interested in acquiring a laptop too.
Best regards, and don't despair, you'll make it :)
Had a similar experience with education loan and I do understand what you might have gone through. Have you looked at other options like Paras education Society
About the laptop, even I am curious why Lenova. I have a HP dv4000 pavilion notebook, which I had purchased last year from Melbourne and I quite like it. Now I am planning to get another one and have again looking out for a HP notebook.
We are going for Lenovo as there is alittle cost advantage.. :)
