Arbit Raj

Just moved into Pune for my new job. Been here before in an earlier job 3 years back. And it does seem very inviting all over again.

• Travel to workplace is 20 mins now.
• I don't travel in a mode of transport which probably resembles a sardine can a.k.a. Mumbai trains.
• I can actually take a bike at sustained 70+ speeds on the roads here.
• Less crowded
• Tranquil surroundings
• Might not be applicable to all, but the no. of places accessible for trekking in the Sahyadris shoots up drastically

It has its share of problems like an utter lack of public transport, lesser developed infrastructure and power cuts. Despite all this, its a package thats packs quite a punch as compared to Mumbai.

It might sound something like those Incredible India advertisements. But do try it. You'll fall in love with it.
