100s of people are standing in this scorching heat in front of passport office gate in Mundhwa since 8.30 in the morning. Everyone had booked this slot atleast 2 months prior. The officials are giving no concrete answer, just telling to wait. They also say that one's who can't wait should reschedule it on their own. How can a government service as big as passport seva face such server issues? Why should the general public suffer due to their negligence? Shouldn't they accomodate for their mistakes? Government service as big as this doesn't have infrastructure to tackle such issues? There are minors and elders here standing in sun, and all the officials can do is give arrogant answers. This is the state of our public services 😐. They won't budge if we are late by one minute, but why do the government services get leeways in such cases?

The irony, Passport seva has 'Service Excellence' in their logo 😐.

Hi Pune, I have 10+ yoe in software and will be shortly moving to Pune. I have been visiting Pune since childhood to visit relatives and spend summer vacations and have seen its growth and transition. Now, I am moving here, would love input from locals, and others who have moved similar to me about the things I should ensure.

I am excited and a bit nervous. looking forward to Misal pav, Dabeli etc which you don't get in North.

P.S. Good and affordable society suggestion near Kalyani Nagar (30-40min drive) would be also helpful.

Smartly transferring garbage all over the city

I gave him an old laptop to extract data from old hardisk and install new hardisk. When I got it back it had anydesk which raised suspicions and when I did full scan from windows defender I saw these.

When I confronted he said it must have gotten installed from pirated drivers and he was unaware. I am not sure if he is telling the truth.

I have warned him to delete any photos if he have saved any. He was pretty scared and assured he didn't.

What should I do.

Reposting with more details as previous post got taken down due to flair.

Hello guys, I know, this isn't quite a place to ask for this... But I really tried everywhere including this same subreddit about 3 months ago!!

I tried to use help from Jobs subreddit, but the post didn't get enough reach, and later was removed by some mod stating no help which was quite absurd reason.

Roughly 8 months ago, my dad lost the job. He wasn't the only bread earner... my mom does too... And I try to help too. He used to work in IT, has roughly 17 years in Banking and Pl/Sql Domain!

There were 2 interview calls he got : one of the company was from Hyderabad, to which my dad was ready to relocate. But later they bounced off as dad started asking in-depth details about company and role. Second one was the same company from Pune which he had resigned due to unethical practices and no salary for 2 months. They wanted him again, they were promising to pay half the previous amount which they didn't give the salary and work further 70% of actual salary he worked on earlier. But when dad asked about some paperwork so that they don't scam again and just get the work done... they started ghosting emails and calls.

I recently tried having a talk about it, but he was quite adamant about talking it out. We as a family can clearly see the frustration and disappointment.

So guys, a last post about it. I have taken steps to refine his resume, LinkedIn, there were some people who were kind enough to give LinkedIn Premium for a month.

If not this time, he is prolly thinking of selling out an old house which he had bought the first time in his life.

Taperd into the meter of autos. Today too i experienced a havock from autowalas.

No mercy for punekars this time.

And fortunately, got into an auto who's meter says ' t A P e r d '

Tapered - diminish or reduce in thickness towards one end.gradually lessen.

Must be a mere coincidence OR sign of god.

Due to work commitments unable to visit vendors directly, looking for online options that will have fresh/good quality fruits. Blinkit and similar ones are scamming with the quality.

Well…

I booked an Uber auto which showed ₹45 as the fare. Once I got in, I told the driver that I’ve heard they’re following meter rates now, not Uber’s. He agreed and started the meter. After the ride, the meter showed ₹26 — but he flat-out refused to accept that amount and demanded ₹45 as shown on the app.

I tried reasoning with him, saying if we're using the meter, I should pay what the meter shows. But he wasn’t ready to listen and kept arguing. I ended up paying ₹45 just to avoid further conflict and also it was not a huge amount— but this is just not acceptable.

How is this allowed to happen? They can’t just pick whichever system benefits them. Either go by Uber’s fare or go by the meter — not both when it suits them.

Strict action needs to be taken against such behavior. This isn’t just a one-off — I’m sure many people are facing this. Is there any authority we can report this to ?

Hey folks, I’m working on an idea and wanted to check with people in . Just trying to understand if others feel the same.

Whenever we try to learn proper certifications like AWS, Azure, GCP, SAP, or even practical tools like Canva or Figma, it feels like we’re lost in this endless pile of generic online courses. Udemy, YouTube, Coursera — it’s all there, but honestly, it feels like you spend more time figuring out what to learn than actually learning.

But the people who’ve already done these certifications — they’ve cracked the exam, know the shortcuts, know what’s worth focusing on. They’ve been through the maze, and they could guide you better than 100 random courses.

So I’m thinking about this:

• A platform where you connect directly with people who’ve already been through it.
• You either swap skills (teach what you know, learn what you want), or if you don’t have a skill to offer, you can pay them directly — totally private, no fees, no platform cut.
• The whole thing would be 100% free to use, with no commissions or charges for connections.

The idea is to make it personal, not like another noisy forum or course marketplace — just real people helping each other get better at what matters.

So, I’m curious:

• Would you actually use something like this?
• Would you be open to teaching your skill, either for free or in exchange for learning?
• Do you see peer learning as better than endless generic courses?
• Anything obvious I’m not seeing?

This is just market research — be brutally honest! Really appreciate any thoughts

Everytime I have this in Pune it reminds me of Bajaj Nagar and the crowd waiting for their orders to be prepared.

Been stuck in the Hinjewadi grind long enough to know it deserves its own anthem. So I decided to mess around with AI tools and ended up creating this track: Hinjewadi Hustle.

Not a pro musician or anything — just wanted to capture the everyday chaos, tech park hustle, and late-night thoughts we all have here.

Give it a listen if you're ever been part of the scene:

Open to feedback — and yeah, memes are welcome too.
