There’s a huge no of people from Satara district living in North-West Mumbai, including myself. We call them SSK(Satara-Sangli-kolhapur) or people might know us as Ghati community.Since the Kokan community has various mandals and community services across Mumbai, we were thinking of starting a small Satarkar community/group in the North-Western suburbs Andheri, Jogeshwari, Vile Parle, Oshiwara and Goregaon.
The idea is simple is to connect with fellow Satarkars, meet occasionally, share local information, help each other with things like travelling to our native places or any official work, and stay connected to Satara.
There are already a few Satara groups, but most seem to be concentrated around Dadar, Girgaon and Navi Mumbai.
Would people here be interested in something like this?

I’m considering buying the PS5 Slim Standard/Disc Edition , but with the current pricing I’m wondering if it’s still worth the investment.

Any suggests?

Marathi in Western Maharashtra has some small regional differences, even though it is the same language overall.

In Pune and nearby areas(including North eastern region of Satara and northern Solapur district), people speak what is often seen as the standard Marathi dialect widely accepted used in schools, media,and official work. In old Pune areas like the Peths, you can still hear more traditional words influenced by Sanskrit, especially from older people.
As you go south in Western Maharashtra(beyond Wai region in Satara), the Marathi changes a bit.

In Satara, Karad, Sangli, and Kolhapur, the way people speak becomes more distinct. The speech is usually a bit faster and more shortened. In Kolhapur and Sangli and also in some parts of Solapur there is a slight Kannada influence in pronunciation, and the tone can sound a bit more nasal compared to Pune Marathi.

In Satara and Karad, the speech is more rhythmic and loud, and people often shorten words in daily conversation.
Overall, people can easily understand each other, but pronunciation, tone, and word choice change from place to place within Western Maharashtra.

No hate to rest of Mumbai and SOBO

I’ve spent some time in both cities,I love them both and this is something I’ve genuinely noticed.
In Bangalore, people usually walk at a relaxed pace, even when they’re heading to a bus stop or Metro station. But they still seem to reach on time.
In Mumbai, almost everyone walks fast, whether they’re catching a local train, Metro, BEST bus, or even an auto.They are always in a hurry which we call it as Ghai.The whole city feels like it’s always moving very fast.Still no one is on time
Just curious why this difference exists. Is it because Mumbai’s public transport, especially the local trains, makes every minute count? Or is Bangalore’s lifestyle simply more relaxed?
Would love to hear your thoughts, especially from people who have lived in both cities.

PS-I’m from Thane, just outside and right next to the financial capital.

As I was looking at the major investment hotspots across Maharashtra recently, I was surprised to see how rapidly Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar and its surrounding areas especially AURIC City and Shendra–Bidkin are emerging. They seem to be attracting some of the biggest investments in the state, behind only Pune and Nagpur.
If this momentum continues, could Nashik eventually lose its position as Maharashtra’s fourth-largest city in terms of economic importance and growth?
