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

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

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.”

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!

Mrs Ranade’s reaction when she sees her son has upgraded her ticket to 1st class is “Marte tula!!” Only a Marathi Aai can express love, surprise, excitement & sheer happiness by threatening to hurt you. Atul Ranade, do you have ANY idea what kind of demon you have unleashed by doing this AND making an Insta reel about it?! Many sons & daughters are going to receive this video with..“ so sweet of the son, no? to buy a 1st class ticket for his Aai”

On FC road today morning at around 10am. I wonder if the girl dancing on ‘tunuk tunuk’ was dancing like this from last night or she got up early in the morning for this. Because that is some stamina! Don’t bother searching for Ganpati idol here because he left the chat long back.

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.

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.

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

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.

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’.

Happy to report that in Pune, the DJ/DT loudspeaker ecosystem has not quite managed to drown out the voices that actually make Ganpati festival what it is … simple soulful music.

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”?

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.

CM Fadnavis is calling on Punekars to set an example for the entire Maharashtra. We are, sir. We are asking for a non-DJ, non-Bollywood, non-plasma, non-laser non-gimmick celebration that doesn’t drown out, distort or adulterate the beauty of our festivals. We want to celebrate Ganeshotsav, Dahi Handi & our other festivals joyously, peacefully & with dignity as our culture demands they be celebrated.

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?
