Jayantha is also a fellow PhD students Melbourne. He's the most studious, wisest and oldest student around us. I'm always amazed and admire him for doing PhD while married with growing-up children. I'd probably have killed either myself or my whole family if I were him (PhD students will understand why I say this).

As cash-strapped PhD students, we have to save anything we can to survive.

We don't buy lunch outside (Melbourne food cost thrice of I had in Singapore, and of course, Australia tax is more than tripled of what in Singapore). We usually bring our own lunch. Jayantha always brings most comprehensive lunch prepared by his wife. It usually comes with three dishes and a cute small box of green salad. Its fabulous smell roams around our room and say despite life constraint, you can always make some nice to satisfy your senses. As usual I filled with envy and jealousy. I thought I should have married someone who cooked my lunch.

One of the dishes, that I always peered over to get better smell, is Red Bean Curry. Actually I never tasted it, but it smells terrific. Below I tried to reconstruct based Jayantha's hints.
