Hey everyone,

I'm planning to buy a Honda CB350C DLX Pro in Pune and wanted to get some advice from people who actually own Honda BigWing bikes here.

I'm based in NIBM, so I'm particularly interested in experiences with the different Honda BigWing showrooms in/around Pune.

The bike I'm looking at is coming to around ₹2.20 lakh all-inclusive for the DLX Pro.

I'd really appreciate feedback on:

Which Honda BigWing showroom in Pune would you recommend buying from?

How was your experience with the sales team and pricing/negotiation?

How is the service experience after buying?

Any BigWing showroom/service centre I should avoid?

For people who own a CB350/H'ness/other BigWing bikes, how has long-term ownership been?

Any recurring issues, expensive maintenance, parts availability, or things I should know before buying?

How has the bike held up after 2–3+ years?

Any regrets about buying it?

I'm 6'3" and took the CB350 for a roughly 3 km test ride. It felt surprisingly comfortable for my height, and I didn't have any major complaints.

I'm also open to other bikes. If there's anything around the ₹2.2 lakh on-road price range that you'd recommend for a tall rider, I'd love to hear suggestions.

I'm mainly looking for something comfortable for city riding, occasional longer rides, and regular pillion use.

Pune BigWing owners — especially people who've bought from the NIBM/nearby dealerships — would really appreciate your input.

Hi everyone,

My fiancée and I are planning to get married at Triyuginarayan Temple on 26 November 2026.

It will be a very small and intimate wedding with only 6 people total — the bride, groom and 4 close friends.

I've read several posts and guides about Triyuginarayan weddings, including a detailed first-hand experience from a couple who got married there in February 2025. However, I would really appreciate some current, practical advice from people who have recently visited the temple or organised a wedding there.

I'm looking for information on:

1. Temple booking

   - How do we officially book the temple for a wedding?

   - Who should we contact?

   - Is there an official temple office/contact number?

   - Can the date and wedding slot be confirmed in advance?

   - Is there any current fee for the wedding ceremony?

2. Priest and wedding rituals

   - How are the priests arranged?

   - Do we need to bring our own family priest?

   - Is a wedding certificate issued by the temple?

3. Accommodation

   - For only 6 people, where would you recommend staying?

   - Is staying near Triyuginarayan itself practical?

   - Is GMVN still the best option, or are there better/cleaner places nearby?

   - Has anyone stayed at Amritara or other good properties in the area?

4. Wedding arrangements

   - Can local vendors arrange basic flowers, garlands and simple decoration?

   - Is it better to arrange everything through a local wedding planner or book each service separately?

   - Any trustworthy local planners/vendors you would recommend?

5. Weather and road conditions in late November

   - What should we realistically expect around 26 November?

   - How cold does it get in the early morning?

   - Is snow a realistic possibility?

   - Should we plan a buffer day before/after the wedding?

6. Transport

   - We will likely travel from Pune/Maharashtra.

   - What is the most practical way to reach Triyuginarayan?

   - Would you recommend hiring a Tempo Traveller from Dehradun/Haridwar/Rishikesh?

7. Legal marriage registration

   - If we get married through the traditional Hindu ceremony at the temple, what is the process for getting the marriage legally registered afterwards?

   - Is the temple's certificate sufficient, or do we need separate registration?

We're looking for a simple, intimate wedding, not a large destination wedding. Since there are only six of us, we'd prefer to keep things practical and avoid paying for unnecessary wedding packages.

If anyone has personally got married at Triyuginarayan recently, or lives in the area and knows how the current booking process works, I'd really appreciate your advice.

Thanks!

I’m based in Pune, India, and wanted to ask:

• Which are the most trusted vendors/dealers for buying telescopes in India?
• Has anyone here bought from C-Sky, Tejraj, Modern Telescopes, etc?
• What’s the realistic current pricing for the GTi 150P including GST?
• Any dealer experiences I should know about before buying?

Would also appreciate any advice from current GTi 150P owners regarding:

• build quality
• portability
• GoTo/tracking reliability
• beginner friendliness
• long-term ownership experience

My use case is mainly:

• visual astronomy
• balcony observing
• occasional Bortle 3–4 trips
• some casual planetary astrophotography later

Thanks!

So I ordered a PXN V99 steering wheel from HGWorld on May 21 for ₹15,990 through Razorpay EMI using my HSBC credit card.

Initially everything seemed normal:

• order confirmed
• DTDC tracking generated
• HGWorld support emailed me saying the order was in “Pre-Ready to Dispatch” stage

But later when I followed up regarding dispatch, I was informed on call that the product is actually out of stock and would take around:

• 5–6 days to arrange
• plus another 1–3 days for air shipping

Now I’m honestly confused whether I should still continue waiting for the wheel or just proceed with cancellation/refund.

My main concern is this:
If the seller can say “Pre-Ready to Dispatch” and later reveal the item is out of stock, then naturally it creates confusion regarding overall inventory transparency and confidence in the product condition/support later on.

I’m not accusing them of scamming because they have been replying to messages and calls, but the situation has definitely made me uneasy.

This is my first time ordering from HGWorld, so I wanted honest feedback from people who have actually purchased from them:

• How was your experience?
• Did you receive genuine/fresh products?
• Any issues with defective products?
• How was their after-sales support?
• Would you personally wait or cancel in this situation?

Would appreciate genuine experiences from people who have actually dealt with them.

I’m going for an overnight stargazing/astronomy event this weekend and will most likely be attending alone now. My previous solo group-trip experience honestly wasn’t great socially, so this time I’m trying to prepare mentally instead of just forcing myself into it blindly.

I’m very introverted, nerdy, and not really someone who enjoys constant social interaction. I like astronomy, tech, science, nature, quiet environments, etc. The event has around 35–40 participants and most seem to already be coming with:

- partners

- families

- friend groups

Which is the part making me anxious about feeling awkward or “out of place” being there alone.

The actual astronomy part excites me a lot:

- dark skies

- Milky Way viewing

- telescopes

- astrophotography

- just existing quietly under the night sky

But I’m worried about:

- social exhaustion after some hours

- awkwardness during meals/common stay

- feeling isolated while everyone else already has “their people”

- mentally overthinking the entire experience

I’ll be driving there alone, so at least I have some independence/personal space if needed.

So for fellow introverts:

- how do you survive these kinds of group environments solo?

- does it become easier once the activity itself starts?

- how do you stop comparing yourself with couples/groups around you?

- any practical coping strategies that actually work?

Would appreciate honest experiences from introverts/solo attendees instead of generic “just socialize” advice.

I’m attending the overnight Naneghat stargazing session this weekend. Originally my wife was supposed to come too, but now I’ll most likely be going alone in my own car from Pune.

This will technically be my second solo group-trip experience, but my first one honestly wasn’t great socially, so this time I’m trying to prepare mentally instead of pretending I’ll magically become extroverted once I reach there.

About me:

- introverted

- nerdy

- not very social

- more into astronomy/tech/science/nature than group socializing

The event currently has around 35–40 participants and most seem to be:

- families

- couples

- friend groups

Which is the part making me slightly anxious about feeling “out of place” being solo there.

My main reasons for going are:

- Milky Way viewing

- telescope observation

- astrophotography

- dark sky experience

- learning more astronomy practically

But I’m also slightly worried about:

- social exhaustion

- awkwardness during dinner/common stay

- shared toilet situation with lots of people

- feeling isolated among groups/couples

- whether staying overnight solo becomes mentally uncomfortable after some hours

I do have the advantage of going in my own car, so I’ll have flexibility/personal space if needed.

So wanted to genuinely ask people from Pune/Mumbai who have attended AAC events solo before:

- how was the overall vibe?

- did you feel awkward initially?

- does the crowd naturally become quieter once stargazing starts?

- how did you handle the social aspect if you’re introverted?

- is the astronomy experience itself worth pushing through the discomfort?

Would honestly appreciate real experiences/advice instead of generic “just talk to people” responses.
