Why Pune Is Better Than Mumbai - 10 Reasons

Mumbai and Pune are the two cities that hold the pride of Maharashtra. Two of the safest cities in India, two cities that compliment each other more than any other cities. While the life in Mumbai is always on the run, Pune has a laid-back attitude in its air which we all need once in a while. Once known as an education hub, Pune now has a lot more to offer. In the past three decades, Pune has managed to attract thousands of young cohorts and working professionals. It is debatable as to which city is better, Mumbai is favored more in such debates, naturally because it is the humble abode of millions of people and has an enriching history. Here, we are giving you 10 reasons why Pune beats Mumbai and how-

1. Traffic
The traffic is very manageable compared to Mumbai. The average commute time in Mumbai is 3 hours, sometimes even more due to the traffic.

2. Weather
This is not even debatable, Pune boasts an almost perfect climate. The rains, the summer and the Gulabi Thand in Pune makes it a perfect place to live in.

3. Greenery and Cleanliness
While we agree, Mumbai is not completely a concrete jungle, but it still lacks the greenery a city life deserves. Pune is definitely greener and cleaner than Mumbai.

4. Luxury of Personal Time & Space
Pune is warm, cozy and relatively a small city which not only saves one a lot of time, but also gives them personal and family time. Also, Pune is spacious as compared to Mumbai.

5. Cost of living and Real Estate
This is a no-brainer, the cost of living in Mumbai is so high that any city could trump Mumbai when it comes to real estate. For people who are starting a new life, Pune is more welcoming and affordable.

6. Peaceful and less Crowded
On one hand, there is Mumbai which offers diversity and many shades of life, but, the same diversity makes Mumbai, a very crowded place. Pune, on the other hand, is diversified yet less crowded.

7. Proximity to Hill stations
Pune is very close to nature, many hill stations are within 2-3 hour distance from Pune. These hill stations make perfect getaway destinations and give all Punekars something to cheer about.

8. Relatively Younger crowd
Considering that youngsters comprise one-third of the population of Pune, Pune is known for its youth. For the same reason, Pune is becoming the youth city of India.

9. Cultural Values
Popularly known as the cultural capital of Maharashtra, Pune has managed to preserve the true Marathi culture. For people who have Maratha roots, Pune is the best city.

10. Balanced Life
Some people complain that Pune does not have a life because the shops gets closed past 9 pm. What they fail to see is, Punekars have beautifully managed to strike a balance between personal and professional life.

An Open Letter To The Girl Who Let The Nice Guy Go

I’ve seen it happen way too many times: The nice guy loses the girl for being exactly who he is.

What’s even worse is if he’s really the nice guy, he’s going to lose her and say nothing about it. He’ll accept it as something she truly wants and give her his best wishes, as she walks away being everything he could ever want.

On behalf of all the nice guys out there, this is to the girl who walked out on the best thing that ever happened to her:

Dear Girl Who Walked Away,

It’s not like you weren’t aware of what you were getting yourself into. He told you he was nice. He trusted easily and gave you all he could when he could.

The nice guy believes in doing things right. He was there when you needed him to be, and he went out of his way to make sure you knew just how much you could mean to someone.

We live in a generation where we all have to wear masks and play parts to make it through the battlefield of dating in the 21st century. There is no such thing as giving it your all.

We like quotes on Facebook and post things on Instagram stating we want the masochist one day and the romantic the next. We play these games where being available can only happen sometimes, and playing hard-to-get must be our number one priority. Why?

I thought the ultimate goal was to eventually settle down. I mean, what is the point of dating if you have no desire for it to go anywhere? If a one-night stand is what you’re looking for, leave the good guys alone and toy within the levels you lay down.

Save yourself time and energy because the good guy isn’t going to make it easy to just walk away. The good guy cares, so he’ll get his explanation from you even though he knows it’ll be a load of bull.

Every girl says she likes the assh*le because he’s the challenge — the one she must break, train and force to be more than just a douchebag. Have you ever thought, however, maybe you were the girl in need of learning what it means to actually feel again?

You went through something, like we all do, and because of it you changed. It’s normal and heartbreak happens, but the next assh*le didn’t fix what the first one did; he kept it the same or made it worse. His priority was not you and couldn’t be you. So now you’re bitter and closed off from anything remotely more satisfying than a one-night stand.

I won’t deny that the assh*le is fun or that a good time isn’t promised with him, but when it’s all said and done, is it ever more than just a good time? Probably not.

In fact, the assh*le has a charm about him; it’s the charm you justify your pursuit with. You say, “There’s just something about him.” However, it’s probably the same quality that ended up hurting you in the past.

So you tried to push the nice guy away. When he wouldn’t go away, you pushed harder. Still, he didn’t give up and every time you pushed harder, he pulled you in even more.

He ignored your fears and forced you to grow; he fought for your passions when you were too busy writing them off. He forgot your wants and focused on everything you

He gave you too much of everything you wanted, and life got too easy. You wanted conflict and hardship as if everything else in life did not promise you an endless journey of just that. This is where you failed.

The nice guy has been hurt, too, he just chose to stay nice. He learned that different people were going to provide him different things in life. The nice guy also chose not to let any of it change who he was.

So, he let you walk away and he called it a day. Everyone always says there are plenty of fish in the sea, and he let you go knowing this, even though it hurt.

What you don’t know is that someone else is out there, and she won’t be as foolish you. When you realize all you really want is the nice guy who cares about you too much, it’s going to be too late. Some other girl will be able to see how great he is, and she won’t waste a minute.

So you lost your Ted Mosby and, I promise, to him you were Robin. The nice guys are there to give you a break, a light to something more than the games we identify our generation with.

He may have loved you too soon and it was too crazy and too much, but guys like Mosby don’t happen every day; they happen never. He got you the blue French horn, and he made you feel love when love was no longer a part of your vocabulary. You were now saying “I love you” again and remembering what it felt like.

He was the guy you were supposed to end up with, who makes everything change. I just wish you’d see it before another girl does because at the end of the day, everyone, including the nice guy you don’t deserve, is rooting only for you.

Sincerely, The Girl Who Was Too Late

needed. Then you walked away because he was too nice.
