Observational humor. Punekar. Opinions. Marathons, cheesecakes, watercolor. Sophisticated babushka, allegedly.

March 2022. Pune Metro had just started. This Punekar Ajoba was asked about his Metro experience & he delivered the most gloriously nonchalant honest review; “Attach basloy… parat yaa.”

When in a tadka/phodni only the mustard seeds pop, while the curry leaves, hing, jeera & haldi are present for moral support.

Pune's rain has entered revenge mode. Every crazy downpour feels like it's saying, "Tell me again how the excess jambhul crop was a sign of drought? Tell no!”

Pune’s disastrous traffic situation is a classic case of the broken window effect. The system has collapsed because small violations became normalised. Every single day, thousands break basic traffic rules with absolutely no fear of consequences. And why would they? Traffic police are barely visible & enforcement is practically nonexistent. Admin washes their hands off by saying Punekars have no regard for the traffic laws. It’s easy blame the people for all civic failures!

Vidyanand Bapat, a self-proclaimed atheist, appears to know more about Indian civilisation, its cultural traditions and its epics than our self appointed gatekeepers of culture, tradition & rituals. Go on, ask any member of the DJ/laser/plasma/Dhol Tasha lobby, karayakarte to speak a few words on the subject. We can be sure the cultural enlightenment will be… unforgettable.

I doubt Madhuri Dixit or the late Saroj Khan ever choreographed this song thinking "One day, this will be a dohaljevan classic." Yet it's become the go to dance number for expectant mothers.

Sinhagad once witnessed the heroic sacrifice of Tanaji Malusare & the valour of Shivaji Maharaj’s brave Mavle. Now gets to witness crass brawls between uncivilised visitors. How badly have we fallen.

She has hit the right nerve. Nobody wants to touch the real issue: reservations. It's the elephant in the room.

Say what you will about her but Priyanka Chopra is the most well spoken celebrity we have sent abroad. Also note that her accent hasn’t changed much over the years. Despite marrying a ‘foreigner’.

PM Modi's decision to overlook the harsh language used by some young protesters reminded me of a memorable scene from the 1980 Telugu classic Sankarabharanam. A group of youngsters mock Maestro Sankara Sastry by blaring a Western pop tune outside his home. Instead of reacting with anger, he calmly reproduces their tune flawlessly, then invites them to sing one of his ragas. They can't. They say the best response to youthful rebellion isn't to take offense. It's to understand it, rise above it, and let time do the teaching.

In Maharashtra, we might get every rickshaw driver to speak Marathi. The real question is; will the customer keep up when the driver asks for “सदुसष्ट रुपये”?

Mangalagaur is a Maharashtrian ritual traditionally observed by newly married women on a Tuesday during the month of Shravan. The day begins with a fast & pooja followed in the evening by a gathering of women for darshan & the playing of Mangalagaur khel traditional games & performances that often depict the fun, playful dynamics between a newly married woman & her new family (the in-laws) This video is of one such entertaining performance, a mil & dil having a spirited argument over their respective interpretations of what qualifies as a peacock dance. Eventually, the Mil gives in :)

We are expected to save every drop at home, and many societies are living with 4 hr daily water cuts. When a pipeline bursts & thousands of litres are wasted, who is held accountable?
