Pune city in my view - Part 5!

Pune city in my view - Part 5!

National Anthem in the theater:

I was surprised, when I first time went to one of the theaters in Pune. It is because of National Anthem played in the theater before the movie started. I have not seen this culture in Tamil Nadu or Bangalore when I saw movies recently or earlier. I remember listening to National Anthem only during school days. It will be played everyday at the end of morning assembly and at Independence day and Republic day. However after joining college, there was no assembly in the morning. So it is only during 15th August and 26th January. After coming out of college, literally I have not listened to National Anthem.


After going to theater for the first time in Pune, I was surprised and felt proud. This is really good practice and this encourages citizens to stay patriotic. I have written this to couple of malls in Chennai about my view on playing National Anthem at Pune theaters before the start of the movie.

Temperature:

The temperature in Pune is relatively less hot than hot cities in India. I was wondering that I always compare the events happening in different places I have visited, with Chennai. It is so common that I compare with my home town. It is the general tendency. The temperature is cold in winter season. I have never experienced wearing sweater during winter season in Chennai. However, in Pune, I was wearing sweater for the entire day and night was really cold. The summer in Pune is relatively less hot than Chennai. This is added advantage for being in Pune.

Mess lady:

I have been to a mess, where Kerala food is available. Though normally, I cook and eat every night, sometimes I go out for dinner. I have chosen to go to Kerala mess for the first time. The dinner was typical Kerala food. I have not forgotten to take fish curry as I have heard that Keralates are good at fish curries and I felt the same after eating the curry. Since I have taken heavy evening snacks, I restricted to have mild dinner. After completing the same, the  amount was paid for the dinner. But the mess lady who served the food, suppose to the owner of the  mess, asked me, if the dinner was sufficient. I have eaten in hotels in different places, but not in mess. These kind of small instances make one comfortable and they feel they are not in some other place other than their known place.


Some of the happenings around us are small which may even give a big impact!!


I have tried to capture some of them happening around me and write them here, so that it can be noticed by others and can have a impact!!!
