A major tragedy was averted during the Vat Savitri Puja in Patna. A huge banyan tree suddenly caught fire as women were performing the puja. It is being reported that the flame of a 🪔 diya ignited a thread, which quickly engulfed the entire tree.

Came across this tiny car in Rome and honestly, it feels perfect for cities like Pune.

Super compact, easy to park, and you can literally squeeze through narrow lanes and tight traffic without stress. Watching these move around made me realize how much space we waste with bigger cars in already congested areas like FC Road, Baner, or Camp.

In a city where:

  • Roads are crowded
  • Parking is a nightmare
  • Lanes are unpredictable

Something like this just seems way more practical.

Of course, not saying everyone should switch overnight ...... but having more of these kinds of cars could genuinely reduce congestion and make daily commuting less painful.

What do you guys think ... would Pune ever adapt to something like this or are we too used to bigger cars?

Connecting Mira Road Metro with Line 2A feels like a mistake sometimes.

Ever since the connection, the crowd has shot up. Today itself, 2–3 women reportedly suffered from suffocation at the Western station. The metros are packed, cabs aren’t an option because of traffic…

where is this sudden rush of people even coming from?

Honestly, it’s reached a point where it feels like if you have the option and resources, exploring life abroad for a better quality of life might be worth considering.

The daily struggle, overcrowded transport, traffic, and basic comfort...just doesn’t feel sustainable anymore.

edit:

To everyone criticising me about the Mira Road line first, I want to apologise to anyone who felt offended by what I said.

That said, I’ve been travelling by metro since it started, and those commuting at the same time as me would have clearly noticed how much the crowd has increased after the line got connected.

This isn’t about hating people or blaming commuters it’s about highlighting a real issue.

The concern is with poor planning and lack of measures from the authorities to manage the surge.

When infrastructure expands, proper crowd management and capacity planning should come along with it which clearly hasn’t happened here.
