People may say I’m posting too often about corruption in @PMCPune and @PuneCityPolice but now, here’s the data to back it up.
Pune has turned into a revenue source for many, yet hardly any money is reinvested into the city’s own development. Sadly, we’re all still distracted by a language war that was designed only to divert our attention.
Every year, ₹12,000 crore of PMC’s budget disappears into thin air; where does it go? No one seems to know.
PS: Pune needs 161 independent social workers in PMC but any political party.

Personal Thoughts:
(not for everyone, feel free to skip)
For the longest time, I struggled with my identity.
A Palestinian kid born inside Israel. Like…wtf.
Many of my friends refuse to this day to say the word “Israel” and call themselves “Palestinian” only.
But since I was 12, that did not make sense to me.
So I decided to mix the two and become a “Palestinian-Israeli”
I thought this term reflected who I was.
Palestinian first. Israeli second.
But after recent events, I started to think.
And think.
And think.
And then my thoughts turned to anger.
I realized that if Israel were to be “invaded” like that again, we would not be safe. To a terrorist invading Israel, all citizens are targets.
900 Israelis died so far. More than 40 of them are Arabs. Killed by other Arabs. And even 2 Thai people died too.
And I do not want to live under a Palestinian government.
Which means I only have one home, even if I’m not Jewish:
Israel.
That’s where all my family lives. That’s where I grew up. That’s the country I want to see continue to exist so I can exist.
Palestine should exist too as an independent state. And I hope to see the country thrive and become less extreme and more prosperous. I love Palestine and have invested in Palestine.
But it’s not my home.
So from today forward,
I view myself as an “Israeli-Palestinian”.
Israeli first.
Palestinian second.
Sometimes it takes a shock like this to see so clearly.
@aaiblgairport why annoy people with some silly ways to collect fees. For some small fees don't lose the Big Hearts of people .....allow liberal 30 min free time slot for people to pick up and drop. Make money on services like long time parking etc...
