| Footnote: | In Pune you're defined by which side of the bridge you come from - the Maharashtrian Puneri from old Pune or the Cosmopolitan Puneri from further east. |
I love knowing this bit of info about which side of the river you come from! This is spectacular! GREAT characters + style.

I like the "historic" and "modern" concept behind your map. It's funny, now that I think about it: this division is true for a lot of cities in India that have a river running through them. They tend to be "old city" on one side and "modern" on the other side of the river. Ahmedabad is the same.

replyAmeya Gokhale
No points for guessing which side of the city I'm from. Love it :)
replyVery cute,you've made even the 'down market side' (as good Punjabis would describe it) look upscale!!!Anyways I always preferred the 9 yard that side of the river sari!Putting up a print out in my daughters room too (no copy right issues there I hope).Cheers Amal

This is so uber cool! I am from Pune ;)
replySwati
Very cute. One correction though, all the ladies in Pune wear a scarf/stole to cover head & face, in all seasons whenever they step out!
replyNiloufer
Only if they're riding a two-wheeler, Swati.
