Pune- City With Peace

Source


I love to drive and without any doubt I can say that Pune is one such city where I love sitting behind the wheel. The roads here are really awesome and the traffic is well maintained. People here follow traffic rules, which make it easy for anyone to drive/ride. There are plenty places around Pune, where I love driving to. I even love driving to Hinjewadi during rush hours and one the main reasons for it is the way traffic is maintained. People here are also very helpful and can help you with the routes when you drive to a new place.

There are various places around Pune, which you can visit. Being an outdoor kind of person, I like to drive to those places on weekend. The weather in Pune is also really nice, which makes going out and exploring new places a real treat.

The city is also designed quite well. I am relatively new to the city but still I can drive my way to various places without much of a hassle. Connectivity to different places is also really nice. I can get out of my house without any worries pertaining to routes. The city also has pretty good connectivity to metro cities through different highways like Pune-Mumbai highway, Pune-Bangalore highway etcetera. If you are among those who love city life and appreciate peace then this place is perfect for you.

City and its people are open to accept individuals coming from different states. They understand their problems and are always ready to offer help. Local individuals are also helpful and would give you tips, so you don’t have any bad experience. The place where I live in Pune has many individuals belonging to IT, which makes it easier for me to connect to them. The individuals here do understand the fact that you belong to different city/state and help you with the cities culture. It is easy to connect to individuals in this city. If you ever get a chance to visit Pune, do visit and fall in love with the mesmerizing city. You will love its culture and its people.

I still remember the time when my mom used to make Rava Laddus for me. It was one of those few sweets, which I used to eat at that time. My taste has changed since, but my love for Rava Laddus has only escalated. Whenever I would go home, I ask my mom to make laddus and would also bring few with me. Even my friends have now grew fond of laddus. Whenever I would go home they wait for me to come back just for those laddus.

I love to cook and have managed to host and prepare few dinner dines at my place. Knowing how to cook has enabled me to serve myself and others some dishes that light up the taste buds.
