The dating scopes are wiidee in pune. It's the #chillest and funkiest place u find. Lots and lot of place to hangout pubs and night is always ON. Guess not now. But was. At least round the pub . Places like Baner are good for the really chill types . I never went to pub too much

It's a good place for people with social life .

I was mostly with the locals most of the time. I guess there are a ## dozen people like shopkeepers, sellers etc who'd know me.

But anyway. I was able to buy some comfort drinks from the open wine sellers. And drink @ home .

That was my life like in Pune. Mostly restricted a bit but still loving ya all ,😉

** Lol I don't know what comfort drink is I just said that because that's what I felt like saying

Because it's a drink that's comforting me. Still have some vodka with me. I don't drink.

People are generally very comforting and understanding. But there are rules. And you gotta keep them. If you do, good for you.

Maharashtra is a place which has seen lot of immigrants. From olden days. It's not a place like Kerala for instance. I remember telling my friend, in Pune you find people from all states of India, but in Kerala, you find only mallus in classrooms. That makes a lot of difference

What it means is that they are no stranger to people coming and staying for work etc. And they very aggressively guard against anything excess, in terms of ownership., Or their things being taken forgranted.

Locals have their power. Whether be in office premises or elsewhere. I suppose it's like that in all states . In Kerala, we don't know right because there are only some poor people coming for labour work.
I remember that conversation. She was talking about the Marwadis

So the Marwadis were originally from Gujarat or so. And they just moved to some states and starting taking over with excessive and nonsensical prices on things.

It was in that instance we were discussing that I mentioned that it's strange because we don't have any other state people in Kerala classrooms. But they have other state people in theirs. I forgot which of them were talking about that etc.

Bong. Or them. I just forgot.

So when you are living in altogether different state where you do not even speak their language, it's a bit strange and you'll be met with caution. Of course the jobs are locals

I had couple of proud moments, where I could show off my Hindi reading, speaking and writing skills.

The jhadu one gave me a paper in which some message regarding Navratri was written in Hindi. - I just read it aloud to her dude

I - we - were taught even Hindi poetry. This has to come to some use.

One thing is generally, they are not stingy. But they are very very suspicious.
