Moving On From Pune

Posted it on twitter but wanted to keep it safe

I will miss Pune, I can't forget:

• My first two weeks trying to figure out when this city wakes up

• Visiting in Pune local for the first time

• How I sat in a local shop and that became our lifeline for food later on (40k+ in one year spent by me and my roommate on that one shop)

• A hostel room full of Mumbai Indians fans shouting while one guy teaches me Marathi gaali(Aichi…)

• How I had pav with different combinations for breakfast for a week

• underestimating the amount we would spend and getting a flat

• flooding that flat because we forgot to turn off the tap

• Leaving that flat for a while

• coming back

• bribing the security guard so that there wouldn't be a problem bringing my gf

• shifting to a new place and exploring all the places I could

• Blades of Glory museum

• Shasn meet-ups

• The most perfect birthday I had

• a great relationship and a life-changing break-up

• badminton meet-ups

• impromptu trips to Mumbai

• Meeting so many friends I made online

• a perfect date

• inviting one of my friends over and roaming around the whole city on a scooty

• Those FC Road walks

• that Pagdandi Book Café

• Those walks under the pink flowers

• the rain and the pleasant non-extreme weather, unlike Delhi

• crazy cab and auto driver stories

• My first green (ykwim) - Balewadi High Street

• That Camp Burger that's overrated

• Sometimes drinking so much that I forget what happened the night before

• fatcat collectibles

• rediscovering myself again and again

• learnt how to enjoy my own company

I owe all this and more to Pune, and I will come back to you as soon as I can.
