Facts which did shock!

1. The decadal growth rate of Maharashtra was way above the national growth rate. This despite the fact that the literacy rate of the state is nearly 10% more than the national average.

2. The decadal growth of the Pimpri-Chinchwad region was 95% from 1991-2001.

3. The sex ratio in Maharahtra is also below the national average.

4. In the state 69% females are illiterate.

5. The SC/ST sex ratio is way higher than the state as a whole.

6. Pune has 40% or above people living in slums

7. Pune has the highest per capita income in India and also the least disparity between rich and poor.

Some of these findings on the first read seem contradictory, to be honest.

Here we are, again...

They did say that the best American movies have been made my non-americans, and keeping that in mind, I am embarking upon a journey to re-look a city. Put the missing pieces together. (Re)Live the years spent, associate memories, make new ones, and probably figure out what is it about the place that keeps me getting back to it!

This shall also be a platform to discuss what's new and happening in the city, and where it is headed.
