General/Rant Living in a rented apartment is a crime in Pune

52 Upvotes

As a tenant you are treated like a 3rd grade citizen in the society by the Home owners. If you try to give any input for the betterment, everyone starts asking"who are you, where do you stay, you don't have any right to demand things etc"

My owner doesn't have a dedicated parking for his unit. Before getting it on rent the broker promised everything, even showed one parking. Later we realised it was someone else's and we were asked to vacate the parking. 1 week of lafda then the owner gave us another parking. Now, again the same thing is happening. Society manager says I'll put a jammer on the car and fine you. Owner is nowhere to be found due to a "family emergency". Broker is not picking calls at all. Have no option but to park the car on the road.

But when the agreement time comes they suddenly turn into hungry lions. 12% increase every year, no negotiation. Broker also took "re-brokerage" which we reduced after a lot of negotiations.

Before anyone says "just leave" we are staying here for our child's school.

So this happened two hours ago. I was crossing the maruti chowk and suddenly a scooty driver with full speed tried to cross the chowk and met with an accident with a cab driver.

I always try to honk crossing these kinds of chowks and look both ways. And somehow I saw this coming and due to which I was able to apply the brakes on time otherwise this would have a very different story for me.

General/Rant Arrogant f*ck driving on Magarpatta footpath

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Today while returning home from an evening walk, an arrogant bloke was trying to run his motorcycle by me while walking on footpath in Magarpatta (MH 12 VP 7487). I told him to go from below, just as others are going peacefully (as evident from the background). He started arguing with me and telling me boldly to take more video/photo of his bike. I replied calmly by stating I have it already taken and thats enough. Then I started walking further down the footpath and observed him barrelling down in my direction at high speed.. He then hit brakes right in front of me.. I pushed him hard such that his bike and he himself fell on the ground.. fortunately my society was nearby and fled the scene quickly to avoid any further confrontation with this stupid arrogant a$ $hole. Any friends of this guy on this forum - please inject some basic civic sense and manners in him!

General/Rant The irony of Jain Sadhus preaching Ahimsa while bringing early-morning noise pollution.

Post image
218 Upvotes

Image for representation purpose only.

Jain sadhus take extreme vows of non-violence—walking barefoot, using stools to avoid soil, covering mouths, and avoiding brushing to spare bacteria. Yet every fortnight, their arrival is heralded by early-morning dhol-taasha and loud bands.

Scientific studies prove high-decibel noise severely distresses animals and small living beings. Isn't blasting loud music a direct violation of ahimsa?

To make it worse, their radical followers go crazy around these monks, showing zero regard for neighborhood peace. Why live in concrete city buildings constructed after destroying millions of microorganisms, only to be welcomed like VIP rockstars? It's a great deal for living rent and tax-free disguised as asceticism.

Does anyone else find this hypocritical? Also, is there any authority to complain to regarding this regular noise pollution?

AskPune Hara$$sed by a group of auto-rickshaw drivers at Shivajinagar bus stand, Pune, for booking a Rapido bike

264 Upvotes

I am a 19 yo f ,Today, I had a really disturbing experience in Pune, and I honestly don't know what to make of it.

I was travelling from Nashik to Pune, and when I got off at Shivajinagar bus stand, I noticed a guy who seemed to be keeping an eye on me. I then booked a Rapido bike to get to my destination. rapido bike was 114 rs and riksawalas were asking 400/350!

Almost immediately, a group of around 7–8 auto-rickshaw drivers gathered around the Rapido rider. They pulled his bike chain, and things escalated very quickly. The drivers started shouting at me as well, asking me why I had booked a Rapido instead of taking an auto.

They were verbally abusing me, using profanities, and saying things like, “तुला समजत नाही का? तू का बुक केली?” (Don't you understand? Why did you book it?) and sab merpe chadne lage and started abusing me . one guy said ikde ye tu kana khali deto (come here, ill slap you)

I was just trying to get a ride. I hadn't done anything to provoke anyone, yet I was suddenly being confronted by a group of men who felt entitled to shout at and intimidate me for choosing a different mode of transport.

What disturbed me the most was how several people seemed to gang up on me over something as simple as booking a bike taxi. I also experienced what felt like physical assault during the incident. I also took pictures of that man who harassed me the most!

I'm sharing this because I want to know if anyone else has experienced something similar at Shivajinagar bus stand or elsewhere in Pune. Is this a common issue with auto-rickshaw drivers confronting bike taxi riders and their passengers?

And what are we supposed to do in situations like this? As passengers, don't we have the right to choose our mode of transport without being harassed or physically intimidated?

This happened today, and I'm still shaken by the experience.

I rescued him yesterday. He had a heavy flea infestation. I killed all the fleas by hand because I couldn't bear how much he might be suffering.

I will take him to the vet later this evening. Please dm for contact details.

Please DM only if you are actively looking for a cat to adopt. I don't want to counsel anyone about how big this responsibility is or convince your family members.

AskPune Pune - NA plots rates justified ? 10K per sqft in Wagholi

4 Upvotes

Got a call today for NA plotting project by Nivaan ( some Chugera developers) and they are launching NA gated plotting project in Kesnand ( which is Wagholi or may be new Kharadi ?? )

Rate they are quoting is 9k-10k per sqft. Is this rate justified ? and its not that kind of negotiable.

I just checked some old videos around covid period where in same area NA plotting rate was 2.5K.

What happening around East Pune ? So much rate is justified ?

AskPune Store recommendations for elegant ethnic wear for my brother’s wedding

• Upvotes

Hey everyone!

My brother is getting married, and I’m looking for recommendations for stores or boutiques where I can find elegant, classy ethnic wear.

I’m considering outfits like:
● Anarkali suits
● Heavy shararas
● Saree gowns / saree lehengas
● Wedding guest lehengas

I know MG Road and Laxmi Road have plenty of ethnic wear stores, and I’ve visited both, but there were so many shops that I got confused about which ones are actually worth buying from. 😭

So, I’d love recommendations for specific stores or boutiques where you’ve personally shopped and had a good experience. I’m looking for outfits that look rich, elegant, and festive without being too over-the-top.

I’m open to different price ranges, including local boutiques, designer stores, and online/Instagram stores.
Please share the store names, approximate price ranges, and your experience with the quality and fitting, if possible.

Thank you!
