Let me present you the Keshavnagar Bus stand in Pune. (A smart city, Top 10 cleanest city of India)
Average property taxes and Stamp duty, registration charges collected from new residents here: 1cr each.
Even if ~2000 flats are registered each year, assume the money collected by PMC.
And in exchange the residents don’t even have a decent hard floor bus-stand!
Roads you already know!

22.906 Crore is a huge amount for beautification of merely 1.5Kms of stretch. This is the same stretch that took life of a Sr citizen recently.
Pune claims to have completed 55 Smart City projects worth ₹3,333 Cr.
I’ve filed an RTI just now to know the names, locations & costs of each one.
Once I get the list, I’ll take 55 days from my schedule, visit all sites, and show you the truth, project by project, cost by cost, on video.
@PMCPune Let's make it public this time.

People celebrating a manager being sacked just doesn't sit right with me at all. Of course you can be glad that the club came to the decision that you wanted, but using that as a form of celebration is pretty tone deaf.
If anything, it's a shame and an embarrassment that this club finds itself in this position yet again. A sad day for the club to have to be making these decisions in the first place. If anything, frustration and melancholy would be my natural go-to feelings when the reality of how shit we really are as a club reaches such desperate times as it did yesterday.
Some big accounts on this app have been bouncing around on my timeline more vocal in their joy yesterday than they were when we won a trophy back in May.
I'm not calling for a day of mourning but some maturity and context wouldn't hurt.
While I agree that the decision was the correct one, we've been here too many times to think that a change of manager is the missing piece of the jigsaw and will change anything in the longterm.
We had some unbelievable moments under Erik and we achieved more in this two year 'banter era' than most clubs do in a generation.
Cheers Bald, I for one wish you all the best.
@MAS It's been 4 days since you've lost my luggage from Auckland to Bangalore. I've tried contacting your email, customer care and personnel at BLR airport but haven't received my luggage, neither have I gotten any update. Let me know how to proceed with this
Why I'm quitting #IndianFootball
LONG THREAD🧵
Having given my all for the development of football in India for almost a decade - with my writing, content, research and grassroots work - I feel I cannot continue to work in an environment which does not want to help itself grow
#booklovers in #Pune ! Cleaning up my library to make place for new books. Looking to give away about 400 books. Mostly non-fiction. Any ideas? If you know a person/ institution that would want them or would benefit from having them, let me know. Thanks in advance!

A humble appeal and sincere request to Honourable Prime Minister Sri @narendramodi ji and Hon. Sports Minister @ianuragthakur, to kindly allow our football team to participate in the Asian games 🙏🏽
We will fight for our nation’s pride and the flag! 🇮🇳
Jai Hind!
