poona

i was in pune for 2 days.it is diwali issue season and i baught three issues,sakal,mauj,akshar.mauj is one of the older bissues being published for over 50 years.there is an article about rss by s.h.deshpande,socialogist who has written a book about mhaisal project.in english.
in 1945 few swayansewaks of rss left rss after having constant debate about reconstruction of rss,with the then rss chief golwalkar guruji.all these swayansewaks were talented and did a substantil work in various field.appa pendase started 'dnyan prabodhini'(avinash dharmadhikar is product of prabodhini).madhukarrao strted ngo for dalits hich would make them economicaly independant.
s.h. deshapnde and others contributed to education,media.di.wi.gokhale became maharashtra times's asistant editor and wote books about war strategy.
there is one disappointing article by jayant naralikar who was in cambridge and was a rangler.to became rangler one has to pass world's hardest exam in mmaths.(in few books about mathametics one can get history of maths e.g. in 'beautifull mind'or in 'man who knew infinity')but naralikar dont give any background of this and just gives boring family details.
in akshar there is a session of articles about vijay tendulkar where everyone writres as if he was jesus.and there is little about his mind as a writer.or what made him one of great indian writer.
in sakal there is article by achyut godbole .an iitian who went in rural,in fact tribal area to do 'social service' and came back.his expirinces in computer indusrty after that are interesting.he was ceo of many co.and has written books about operting systems of computer .his books are used (even )in china.
pona is still mystery tome even after so many years.i dont understand their roads.rikshaw meter system.e.g.if meter is 1.60 you have to multiplyone and .60 by 8 that is easy but then it tells you to add 2rs more. or sometimes rikshawals tell you 10 rs for one and do six times and add 2.the way he does make you respect about their mathematicl ability.and you understand why rangalrs like naralikar and poona were born in poona (and none in mumbai)
i always gets confused with galis and end up being where i am after 30 minits.so here iam amongst heavily makeuped prostitutes.poona has has a red light area which is among normal residancy.in is not differintiated like mumbai.so there are shope where people buy items for diwali and house hold items and there are womans standing..i decide to end my quest for cheap lodge and enter one and get a single bed room for 125 rupees .i am suspicious about use of lodge and ask the boy who show me a room is this room used for 'sleeping'.he answers dont worry no one uses single bed room for f**ing
