A little about my city

Pune (Poona) is an old city. It lies approximately 160kms south east of Mumbai nestled in the foothills of the Sahyadri range (AKA The Western Ghats) about 550m above sea level . It has been a city of some import since around the 1600s.

Its growing at a rapid rate as are all cities in India... by about 30% per decade. Today the population of Greater Pune is touching 5,000,000. Thats is its the 8th biggest Metropolitan area in India.
