Poona, now known as Pune, is a city in Maharashtra, India, with a rich history that dates back centuries. Under British rule until 1947, Pune was a significant military and administrative center. It was known for its educational institutions and cultural heritage, earning the nickname "Oxford of the East." The city played a crucial role in India's independence movement, with many freedom fighters and social reformers calling it home. Today, Pune is a bustling metropolis, blending its historical charm with modern development.
Pune that you must visit:
Over 286 years old, Shaniwar Wada still shows the pride of the Maratha empire. This historical site used to be a center of culture and politics, and it still draws around 300 visitors from all over the world every day. If you haven't been there yet, here are five reasons to consider a visit. The entry fee is just INR 5 for Indian visitors and INR 125 for foreigners.
**The History**
Shaniwar Wada was built in 1732 and served as the grand seven-story capital of the Maratha Empire. However, in 1818, the British took control of the fort after the third War of Panipat. Over time, Shaniwar Wada faced many attacks and fires throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. One major fire in 1812 destroyed two of the building's stories, including important areas like the Asmani Mahal. The worst damage came in 1828, when a fire lasted over a week and consumed several floors, along with many artifacts and documents.
**An Architectural Masterpiece**
Even in its ruined state, Shaniwar Wada is still one of India's notable architectural wonders. Some parts of the palace survived the fires, such as the famous five gates. The main entrance, known as the Dilli gate, features large spikes designed to defend against attacks. Other gates include Mastani gate, Khidki Darwaza, Ganpati gate, and Narayan Gate. There are many stairways along the walls that lead to empty rooms inside the palace. Take a moment to admire the detailed carvings on the pillars, walls, and arches. You can also see a few smaller cannons that have been collected over time. Don't miss the remains of Hazari Karanje, also known as the fountain of a thousand jets, which is shaped like a 16-petal lotus.
**The Beautiful Gardens**
One of the great things that the ASI and PMC have kept up is the lovely gardens at Shaniwar Wada. You can sit here with a book and enjoy the peaceful surroundings for hours. **Light & Sound Show** A big reason to visit Shaniwar Wada is the light and sound show held in the middle of the fort. Since 2000, this show has been presented in Marathi and Hindi, telling the story of Shivaji’s reign with light and images projected over a water fountain.
**One Of The Most Haunted Places In Pune**
Shaniwar Wada is also known as one of the most haunted places in Pune. The fifth Peshwa, Narayanrao, was tragically murdered by guards within the fort. It is said that his spirit continues to haunt the palace, and many visitors claim to hear a voice crying out, "kaka mala vaachwa" (uncle, save me), especially on nights when its a full moon night.

Happy Father's Day

In 1832 there were 39 days of 'holidays'. You will notice that holidays included Surya Grhn and Chandra Grhn. Also, the Gentoo Brahmin's New Year along with the Christian new year and the Malabar Brahmin's New Year. The Gun Powder Plot too was a holiday. This was the day when someone in London was said to have tried to blow off the parliament. Have a look at the list closely to notice some of the now forgotten holidays.

As more territories came under the control of the British East India Company, holidays were increased to include local sensibilities. Eventually, by the 1860s the list of holidays had expanded to over 60. Almost all of them were 'religious' holidays. These holidays were then earmarked for people according to religion. Soon only some holidays were taken by everyone. Other holidays were to be taken only by persons of that particular religion. Thus there came about lists of 'Hindu' holidays and ' Muslim' holidays. The total number of holidays taken by a person was confined to 39. Schools and colleges had special holidays: twenty days off for the Dussehra Diwali holidays, one week off for Christmas, and two and a half months off for the summer break. It was Partap Singh Kairon, then chief minister of Punjab, who broke the system of religious holidays in India. This was in the early 1960s. As a birthday gift to Nehru he abolished religion specific holidays in Punjab. Other states followed his example quickly. This ensured that holidays in a year did not exceed 20. Since then, when a holiday was declared it was for everyone, irrespective of religion. No one got a holiday because of being of a particular religion.

In the late 1970s, a general belief emerged that there were far too many holidays in India and far too little time to work. Under that belief state governments were pressed to reduce the number of holidays. In Maharashtra this was achieved by cancelling the holiday on the birth anniversary of Ambedkar. This was a most welcome move. Except that, a few months later the government in Maharashtra announced a special holiday in the name of Balgangadhar Tilak. At least young two friends, then working for the Central government, in a post in Pune, found this problematic. One was Kanshiram and the other was D K Khaparde. Their protests did not yield any immediate result. But they did underline the unfairness of removing Ambedkar from the public mind by removing a holiday in his name.

St. Mary's Church, a magnificent British-era shrine, is located in the city's Cantonment-Camp district. Lieutenant Nash, an East India Company engineer, built it in the early 1820s, and it was consecrated in 1825. St. Mary's is not only the oldest church in Pune, but also in the entire Deccan region. As a result, it is also known as the Deccan's mother church.

The landmark shrine is an architectural marvel. The beauty of this church in Camp Pune is defined by a beautiful amalgamation of Gothic, British, and Indian styles of architecture. Among the main attractions of this historic structure are its 103-foot-tall tower and a charming winding staircase that leads to the gallery. While you're here, don't miss the 130-year-old pipe organ and the bell brought from Kaira church. The structure's spacious interior can accommodate up to 1000 worshippers at once.

pune now and then
Christ Church is said to be the largest church in Maharashtra, with around 2000 members. In 1831, a Scottish missionary recognised this Church. Previously, worship was held in missionaries' bungalows, schools, and, later, a rented hall on Sachapeer Street.

An Airbus 380 is on its way across the Atlantic. It flies consistently at 800 km/h at 30,000 feet, when suddenly a Eurofighter with a Tempo Mach 2 appears.
The pilot of the fighter jet slows down, flies alongside the Airbus and greets the pilot of the passenger plane by radio: "Airbus, boring flight isn’t it? Now have a look here!"
He rolls his jet on its back, accelerates, breaks through the sound barrier, rises rapidly to a dizzying height, and then swoops down almost to sea level in a breathtaking dive. He loops back next to the Airbus and asks: "Well, how was that?"
The Airbus pilot answers: "Very impressive, but watch this!"
The jet pilot watches the Airbus, but nothing happens. It continues to fly straight, at the same speed. After 15 minutes, the Airbus pilot radios, "Well, how was that?
Confused, the jet pilot asks, "What did you do?"
The AirBus pilot laughs and says: "I got up, stretched my legs, walked to the back of the aircraft to use the washroom, then got a cup of coffee and a chocolate fudge pastry."
The moral of the story is: When you’re young, speed and adrenaline seems to be great. But as you get older and wiser, you learn that comfort and peace are more important.
This is called S.O.S.: Slower, Older and Smarter.
Dedicated to all my senior friends ~ it’s time to slow down and enjoy the rest of the trip. 🤗❤
