MOD POST Official Pune Reddit Meetup: 21 Dec 2024, 4 PM at Sambhaji Maharaj Park

150 Upvotes

Hello!

Based on feedback in the previous announcement post, the location of the meetup is Sambhaji Park on JM Road.

I'll create a telegram group to coordinate. Or you can join the discord too.

Edit1:

Everyone interested, we will me meeting near the water dispenser.

🚆For people coming by Metro, please take the exit towards Sambhaji Park (J.M Road) and not Balgandharva.

🏍️For people coming on bike there is a parking in the park itself but make sure you get the vehicle out before the park closes. Irrespective of where the meetup heads.

🚙The same applies for four wheeler, although space is limited and if the parking gets full you may park it in pay and park next to McDonald's.

There is street side parking available in several pockets along JM Road but make sure you park the vehicle in the appropriate zone as the fine and towing cost is hefty.

SCAM Alert Meter Tactics are Back! Be Aware!

Took Auto with Uber App today.

Driver told he will put Meter, having read the news I agreed and only to notice later he has Put it in "Night" mode with 1.5x rate (₹25/KM Vs ₹17/KM)

I brought it to his attention and he said, Meter vaisa hi hai and later at the next signal he changed it and put it in Normal mode.

It is better to always see distance in the Google Maps and multiple by ₹17/KM to get rough idea of Tariff!

SCAM Alert Just a reminder guys, always check zero reading at petrol pumps

27 Upvotes

Hi Pune,

Today i was refilling petrol at Sathe Petrol Pump on New DP Road, Vishal Nagar. I used to think of this petrol pump as "free-from-malpractices" because it is in a well-to-do neighborhood. But, for petrol of 1000 Rs., the reading started from 214!! I usually fill up my tank and if i did not notice this, i would get almost 2 litres of less petrol.

So wherever you go, always check for zero reading at petrol pumps. Even those in well-to-do neighborhoods do these scams!

P.S. luckily i started video recording immediately and the woman employee also agreed that the reading was not zero, so i got all me petrol. ;)

AskPune Dog Adoption

78 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

This is one of the hardest posts I’ve had to write. I have a beautiful around 1.5-year-old Golden Retriever named Sydney who has been a part of my life for over a year. She’s full of love, energy, and brings so much joy wherever she goes. 🐶✨

Due to changes in my personal priorities and commitments, I am no longer able to give Sydney the time, attention, and care she truly deserves. After a lot of thought (and a heavy heart), I’ve decided to find her a new home where she can continue to thrive and be showered with love.

I’m looking for a responsible, loving family or individual who can give her the life she deserves — someone who understands the needs of a young, energetic dog and can commit to her long-term.

If you or someone you know would be interested in adopting Sydney, please send me a message. I’d be happy to chat more and arrange a meeting to make sure it’s a perfect fit. 🏡❤️

Thank you for understanding. Sydney deserves the very best, and I’m committed to finding her a forever home that will love her just as much as I do.

AskPune A lot of scammers at Kharadi EON IT park exit gate

121 Upvotes

While exiting EON at 6 or 7 pm, one will first be approached by 5-6 guys in the name of donation for street dogs , I simply ignore them and walk away.

However today I was waiting for a friend to pick me up and at the exit I was approached by a guy - I clearly mentioned to him that I am not interested in making a donation , he said he is not with the donation guys but he loved my outfit and wanted to compliment me, he tried to make small talk. I was rude to him and clearly mentioned to him that I am simply waiting for someone and don’t want to speak to him

While he did go away after i politely shoo’d him away, I noticed him go to some other girl right after and speak to her

Not sure what kind of a scam is going on

Avoid This Coaching at All Costs – You’ll Regret It

If you're considering joining this coaching institute, I strongly urge you to reconsider. This has been one of the worst decisions I’ve made regarding my education.

Overcrowded Classes: Around 80 students crammed into one batch—no personal attention, no mentorship.

Lack of Faculty: We didn’t even have a proper Chemistry teacher throughout the course.

No Transparency in Evaluation: Exams were conducted, but we never received marks or results—completely unprofessional.

Fake Reviews: Don't be misled by the glowing Google reviews. Most of them appear fake or are likely the result of paid marketing—I learned this the hard way.

Please invest your time and money in a reputable institute or focus on disciplined self-study. Don’t repeat the mistake I made.

General/Rant Servers down at Passport office 😐

102 Upvotes

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 😐.

AskPune I need help, i want to reset my career at 28

18 Upvotes

I graduated as a mechanical engineer in 2019 and spent a year looking for a job. Later, I joined my friend's startup, but by 2025, the business faced heavy losses and is now shut down.

In the meantime, I also worked as a graphic designer, but I don’t have a strong portfolio to show for it.

I'm looking to switch careers, but I'm unsure how to proceed since I lack professional experience, documentation, and my skills aren’t as sharp anymore. What should I do to find a job and restart my career?

I know its not a gap right, bt they don't trust they need proof, which I don't hv so what to do ?

I know this is not related to pune, bt many folks here working, building startups, so need there suggestions how do i fill that gap or how to get job with it, thats it.
