Simply Pune

14th June 2008 – My first day in Pune and I vividly remember I hated it completely. Well not because I am a cynic but just because everything here compelled me to draw instant comparisons with Delhi.
Ideally I should have really liked Pune , considering it’s my birth city and also that my most amazing kindergarten days were spent here but I guess my fondness for Delhi was just too strong to even have an iota of liking for pune.

But I guess all things in life are pretty momentary and one doesn’t even realize the importance of something until its time to forgo that and move on. After having spent 2 wonderful years at Pune my heart aches to even think of moving out from here. Everything about pune seems so nice today, be it young crowd everywhere or the small eating joints at every nook and corner.

As prudence tells me that its time to bid adieu to Pune, my heart tells me stop here forever in the chirpy streets and the lively roads. This is one city which is quiet yet jovial, dull yet serene and slow yet fast paced.
It hits you slow but when it does it totally immerses you in itself.
From F.C road to koregaon park to M.G road , each place here is special because each one of them has given me beautiful memories which will be cherished for a long time.
Besides all of this I guess SIMS added another dimension to my fondness because its place where anyone can feel at home , and I surely did.

Its hard to believe I am here for a few days only , but no matter what I am gonna keep coming back, coz if Delhi is home Pune is home away from home 
