@amarbarwe You don't need an AI generated image. I have three pipes. Chala basuya.

Always felt that pipe smokers belong to a different league altogether… the kind of old-school, extremely rich, retired gentlemen who have nowhere to rush, nowhere to be,just sitting back and enjoying life, one slow puff at a time. Don’t know when I’ll ever reach that “rich man” level 😄 But becoming a retired person physically… that I think I can manage pretty soon. #icandream

@n_karkare @sulkul I have never managed to count them all. The brain gets scrambled after 20. The difference in counting must be because the "set of 3" which cause your eyeballs to go boingboingboing can be counted as only one by people. 🤣

@sulkul W00t?!

Mahatma society in Kothrud #Pune has decided to go for Guiness world record for the maximum number of speed breakers in a 500m road. Go for it team, we will break our backs and necks for you! 😁

@nileshp1981 @nitinwelde @GabbbarSingh Indeed. It only sells on reputation.

@nitinwelde @GabbbarSingh Calling Bedekar as OG shows what knowledge you have about Pune and its misal. It’s literally a sweet dish this Bedekar misal, you haven’t eaten authentic Puneri misal then, Bedekar is very overrated.

#pune news. Gabbar was seen wandering around on a two wheeler. His host was asking everywhere “ Koni misal deli ka ho Misal 😜😜” Great catching up @GabbbarSingh. Hope you liked - “OG Misal of Pune , Bedekar Misal”

@TheVishalKay @amarbarwe Precisely!

@amarbarwe Bedkar looks red because of jaggery and. It because of spice!

Two of the iconic Misal houses in Pune which I like. One is Bedekar Misal as seen here and the other is Vaidya Upahargruha. Poles apart when it comes to taste because of the texture. Bedekar is red spicy and Vaidya is all about green chillies but both with sliced bread. #Pune

@aparanjape @prasadpanseMT @PSamratSakal Dismal.

What's the final polling percentage in PMC and PCMC? #Pune @prasadpanseMT @PSamratSakal

@icelandcricket Minimum boundary length 👍🏽 The absurd "impact sub" rule prevalent in IPL should be quashed before it infects other tournaments.

For our newest fans, we restate our ten-point manifesto for the good of the global game: 1. All 12 Test teams must play each other in 3 match series in the World Test Championship over a 4 year period, home and away. 2. Minimum boundary lengths of 70 metres should be enforced in all international cricket. 3. Women's Test cricket should be significantly expanded and played over 5 days. 4. Coalitions of nations should be owed to play together e.g. the Nordics, as the WI already do. 5. The ICC should provide funding to those nations seeking associate membership. 6. Profits from T20 cricket need to be better redistributed to enable players to play Test correct with high wages. 7. Bowlers should be allowed one leg-side delivery an over in short form cricket. 8. The number of teams in the T20/ODI World Cups should be further expanded. 9. 'Bad light stopped play' should be abolished unless the ball literally cannot be seen. 10. The 'spirit of cricket' should be regarded as a drink, not a moral mantra.

@cIndraneel Whoa! I thought nothing could beat Mahatma Society speed breakers.

I think no car in India is designed for the atrocious rumbler strips from Katraj Tunnel to Navale Bridge and no human has the spine for it. I dont see this bandage work solving any problems but only creating more!

@RamMNK Long rope for @IndiGo6E. How long? What were they doing for two years?

The FDTL orders issued by the DGCA have been placed in abeyance with immediate effect for now to stabilise operations and prioritise relief for affected passengers. Airlines have been directed to provide timely and accurate updates to all passengers and ensure automatic refunds for cancelled flights and arrange hotel accommodation for those stranded due to prolonged delays with priority assistance for senior citizens and differently abled. A high-level inquiry has also been instituted into the ongoing disruptions caused by the delays and cancellations of IndiGo flights. Accountability will be fixed and measures will be taken to prevent future disruptions. Passenger comfort and safety continue to remain the highest priority of the Government. pib.gov.in/PressReleasePa… @MoCA_GoI @AAI_Official @DGCAIndia

@nitinwelde Certainly not "pilots vs rest of us". It is a case of "customers caught in crossfire of @IndiGo6E vs Govt"

- Please pay attention to this. Don’t let it become “‘Pilots vs Rest of us “ ka issue. - There shall be elements who may try to steer the conversation towards “ Pilots action “ and insert own agenda. - Be nice to pilots when you see them at airports, they know their job and they are doing it well.

The consequences of the concession that @IndiGo6E has obtained 1) para 3.11 Night Duty which is 12 mid night to 6am has reverted back to until 5am 2) Para 6.1.4 ( for operations encroaching Night Duty the limit is 2 landings. This 2 landing limit has been removed: Result for IndiGo It can schedule crew for more than 2 consecutive nights and for more than 2 landings: Result for Pilots : increased fatigue , increased stress increased Duty hours Minimum Rest: These concession have by and large negated the Fatigue Management intent of the FDTL phase 2 effective 1st November 2025. @MoCA_GoI there was No APPLICATION OF MIND by you on the effects in fatigue when giving theses concession which @DGCAIndia will have to extend to other Airlines too. Well played @DelhiHighCourt

@nitinwelde @sudhirmehtapune @aparanjape Have you traveled to Mumbai lately? There are signboards at Lonavala on the ex-way pointing to "Navi Mumbai Airport". Surely such signboards will come up at Ravet, Hinjwadi and then NDA chowk. I think these are pointers to "Purandar airport will never happen".

- Yes sir / madam. - As much as I love my #pune , I am quite unsatisfied at the state of our airport. - It’s not the looks but the operational capability which I am unable to argue about. On that argument I accept my defeat. - When @sudhirmehtapune @aparanjape and other such esteemed Punekars can’t do anything, I see myself making no difference to the “Demand for Better Airport”

@nitinwelde @sudhirmehtapune @aparanjape Well said. Can't see it in isolation. And it is not just one organization. Same story everywhere. Airbus contributed to it. Indigo compounded it. Now DGCA is likely to add to it if it gives in to the demand of extension of dates for FDTL. I will be happy if DGCA proves me wrong.

@docbhooshan One can see some buildings (terminal, I presume) when driving towards Atal Setu. Difficult to belive that it will be operational by 30th Sept.

Finally Pune gets a modern airport. Just 3 hr drive and you are done.

@aparanjape Wouldn't it be too soon for another shake up? It is a young team still settling. The only change I would like to see is @ShreyasIyer15 back in.

Turned on TV... India two down already?? What a disaster :( Time for some major shake up in the team - coaching, bowling for sure. And overall motivation levels. #INDvsENG

@anuj_t @aparanjape @shetty_athreya Have been regularly visiting Tamhini for over 25 years, so am not surprised at the high quantity. Just surprised about the variation in the two records at the same location. Thank you for the input about orographic lift. Didn't know about this 👍🏽

@pushkarajapte @aparanjape @shetty_athreya exactly what I was trying to point out today about Tamhini observations being unusually high everytime. I think of two possibilities: 1. Something is wrong with the rain gauge. 2. It is placed at a location which faces significantly high orographic activity.

Heavy rains in the ghat areas near Pune tonight. 100, 200+ mm reported at many stations. Tamhini reported 340 mm. Pune City (IMD Shivajinagar): 18 mm. Chinchwad: 29 mm. #PuneRains

@DPrasanthNair Then there were scented erasers also, which basically didn't erase anything.

As a kid, I believed that white side erases the pencil mark and the dark side erases the pen mark.

@aparanjape @GodboleSandeep @ksinamdar @pathaksudh @MulaMutha Unless you are from Belgaum, Hubli, Dharwad..... 😁

Please note - difference between the usage of 'आमची', 'आमचा', 'आमचे (आमचं)' for cities, places... in #Marathi. The correct usage is: आमची मुंबई आमचे पुणे (आमचं पुणे), आमचे नाशिक, आमचे नागपूर आमचा सिंहगड, आमचा रायगड @GodboleSandeep @ksinamdar @pathaksudh @MulaMutha

पावसाळा काही दिवसांवर येऊन ठेपला आहे. पावसाळ्यात गड किल्ले, वनक्षेत्र, धबधबे या ठिकाणी उपद्रवी, हुल्लडबाज पर्यटकांची होणारी गर्दी आणि अपघात रोखण्यासाठी @mataonline च्या संवाद पुरवणीतील @chaitralicMT यांच्या लेखातील मतांचा आदर प्रशासनाने करत, कठोर उपाययोजना कराव्यात. @MahaForest

@nitinwelde Well said 👍🏽
